Hi
UroojTech,
The 645 will not be the reason for a rejection but it will not help you stand out, as well. Put simply, if there is a chance for you to take this score up (considering how much you were scoring in your mocks as well as how you feel about taking the GMAT again), you must give the GMAT another shot.
What stands out is the leadership experience as the Founding Member of a startup (and fairly early on in your career). Even if the startup shut down, be sure to focus on the skills you showcased during your tenure, what you learnt, and how you intend to apply your learning in the future. The need for a PGP can also come in here.
In all, it really depends on how the narrative flows and links up your experiences to your future goals.
If you feel the need, you may

All the best!

Thanks for this information. What are your post-MBA goals? These will play a role in understanding alignment of schools.
Academics are good. Any extracurriculars that you can talk of? Also, the rational behind career jumps needs to be clear.
Thanks, while I plan to stay in the tech industry, I’m mostly planning to switch from analytics to product management post MBA. I can easily justify the rationale for this shift if needed.
In terms of extracurriculars, I’ve been involved in a few small things, but nothing significant enough to highlight.
Do you think my GMAT score might become an issue for a college like ISB?
