Hello Saibaba99,

It really boils down to where you see yourself in the long run; if the idea is to settle down in Europe, HEC is where you should go; if you see yourself in India (and, also want a lower risk), ISB is what you should proceed with.

Good luck!

Hello Slow_Yogi,

There are certain complications in your profile; however, you can only control what you can control. Hence, besides making the most of your career at Amazon (and showcasing the associated strengths), you must focus on excelling on the GMAT; aim for a score in excess of 675; needless to say, the higher, the better.

Hope this helps.

All the best!

Hey kindly evaluate my profile for ISB. Am yet to give GMAT
My Quals
78/79 in Xth/XIIth
56.4% in Grad Bsc. physics, geology
MSc. Applied Geology 65%
There is a 3 year Gap post that specifically 2 years as for 1 year was at IIT B for Mtech but had to drop due to personal circumstances
Then completed MBA in 2020 and got placed in Amazon and since then has been working as customer service operations manager in Amazon
Always thought in the 2nd year of my MBA would go for and executive MBA from IIMs/ISB to get into more strategic/consulting roles in corporate after 5 YOE
Any suggestions are also welcomed

Hi Prakriti2600,

While no score guarantees an admit, you must aim for a score in excess of 675 on the GMAT - the higher the better.

All the best!

I am an architect with almost 2 years of work experience in a global company. I am planning to do an MBA. What would be the ideal GMAT score for a professional like me? Am i at an advantage of any sort?

Range 306-328

This was what I got
Definitely not correct. Several of our candidates with 330+ have gotten thru.

328 cannot be the upper limit.

Average 710. But try to achieve higher than this
You are most probably referring to the scores in the classical GMAT.

I am thinking the average would be between 655-675 (no official confirmation on this).

Hi DSK23

On the surface, the career progression looks very promising. It clearly shows your efforts to move into a high-growth, data-driven industry where you are got exposure to investment decisions, and then into consulting with (hopefully) valuable client exposure and cross-functional stakeholder management. Ultimately, though, the admissions decision will come down to how you present this experience, and what the common thread is that ties all your career decisions together with your future goals in mind.

Consulting is a broad field, and these days it’s not enough to present generic consulting goals in applications. Schools expect you to have thought deeply about the nature of the problems you want to solve and, more importantly, why. I hope you can take plenty of time to think about your path and develop a strong goal strategy. This is what will carry you across the finish line. I also hope that you are working towards a solid GMAT/GRE score. Feel free to discuss your case in detail.


Best wishes

MBAGuide, Thank you so much on the feedback, I am quite clear about the path that i would like to pursue which is Sustainability consulting to be specific, since I have assisted a couple of consultants on certain projects. This is something that I strongly believe and well, I would try to put forth my goals clearly.

This is something that I strongly believe and will try to put forth my goals clearly. I am currently preparing for my GMAT that I am planning to give in August, hopefully I will have enough time prep my applications for the same. Any suggestions on how much the score should be? I am currently aiming for 720+
I am not a fan of converting the FE score to legacy equivalents. Try to score upwards of 675 on the FE. It’s good that you have clarity on your goals. Your entire application must be done in a way that makes those goals seem like a natural progression in the larger scheme of things. Could be challenging, but interesting. Best wishes
