Your academic achievements, work experience, and extracurricular involvement have built a solid profile, giving you a good chance at getting into ISB. However, your GMAT score is below the average, so consider retaking it and aiming for 675 or above for Round 2. This can strengthen your application and make you an even more competitive candidate.



We’d be happy to discuss your profile in more detail to enhance your application’s competitiveness.Feel free to schedule a call with us here for an in-depth profile evaluation and additional benefits.We match you with the students and alums of top B-Schools according to your background and target schools.

With a GMAT score of 585, your chances might be somewhat limited, especially given the competitive nature of the process.
I’m particularly interested in learning more about your role at the startup, as this could potentially showcase a strong aspect of your profile. However, even with this potential strength, your application could still be a stretch for many programs.
Based on your profile, I would suggest aiming for a GMAT score of 675 or higher to significantly enhance your chances.
Good luck!

Hi, I need some advice.

I was planning to apply for ISB in Round 1 but I only scored 615 (V83, Q83, DI76). I have 4 years of experience in Software development in a product based company. I have 9.8 CGPA in 10th, 91% in 12th but only 7.1 CGPA in Undergrad (Civil Engeneering).

I feel like I can improve a lot in DI, but I am not sure. Chances of getting in ISB is the most in Round 1 and if I retake Gmat that means I will be applying in Round 2.

Should I retake Gmat and apply in Round 2 or Do I have a shot in Round 1?

Yes you should retake the GMAT and apply in round 2.
As a GEM, with a 625, I feel your odds of getting an interview invite are low.
And if you feel that you can improve your score, please give it another shot.
And if you need help with building your application, feel free to get in touch.

As a GEM, with a 615*

Hi Lucifer9,
Your work experience in fintech is a significant asset, especially given how rapidly the industry has grown and its continued potential. This background will definitely stand out. Additionally, your Letters of Recommendation (LORs) seem well-sorted, which is great. Remember, it’s not necessarily about having a CXO as a recommender, but more about the quality of the recommendation and whether you’ve worked directly with them.

That said, the main challenge for your ISB application—and later for a career in consulting—will be your academic record. While state boards have different grading systems, a 70% score might be considered on the lower side. Furthermore, your undergraduate institution is not tier-1, and your GMAT score of 595 is well below the median for ISB and other top B-schools.

The area where you can make the most significant improvement is your GMAT score. I’d recommend aiming for a 665+ to strengthen your chances for both ISB and consulting. Consider applying in Round 2 after improving your score.

If you need any assistance along the way, feel free to reach out.

Good luck!
