Hi, requesting profile evaluation.
B.Com (Hons) from Delhi University – 2018–21.
10th – 10 CGPA
12th – 94%
Graduation – 7.8 CGPA.
Placed with EY GDS through campus placement in the Audit department and worked there for 3 months, then switched to Management Consulting in PwC India and worked there for 2.5 years. Left it in Aug 2024 and currently working in a startup co-founded by my ex-colleague, and I am directly involved in the day-to-day operations.
With regard to extracurriculars: won a national award by the Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs back in school.
Co-founded Zomato Feeding India in my city during the COVID year.
Played at the national level in Volleyball during school days.
I am particularly targeting ISB this year since things are very uncertain in the US. Let me know the targeted score.

Post MBA goal : My post-MBA goal is to work with a core consulting or strategy firm. As a non-MBA graduate, I often faced limitations in accessing certain high-impact projects due to qualification constraints, which also restricted my career growth. I believe an MBA will equip me with the skills, credibility, and network needed to overcome these barriers and accelerate my trajectory in the consulting domain.

Hi, I need a profile evaluation. I am a business analyst with 8+ years of experience. Worked with Pharma consulting firms like ZS and a couple of Pharma companies like Novartis. My 10th/12th is from CBSE with 93% and 90%. B.tech in IT from private college with 86%. Should I target ISB other colleges given a higher work exp. Also what will be a decent GMAT score that I should aim for?
Hi Sunny_1212, There are around 50+ candidates every year graduating from ISB with a work experience similar or higher than yours. For that matter even in top IIMs average work experience is around 7-8 years of experience. So, you are not too off in terms of work experience.

The Pharma background is a plus point and you have decent academics. You should aim anything higher than 655+.

Hi MANSImahara221, Great profile to say the least. Good acads, good college, consulting plus start up experience, national level awards, own start up. It has all the elements that colleges look for. Anything above 645+ and you are a serious candidate. Best of luck!

@MANSImahara221 - your profile presents strong angles. A 665-675+ on the GMAT would position you well overall.

You can reach out to the GMAC helpline with your case, they are very helpful.
Passport is mandatory to write your gmat.
