Guys, I had taken Top one percent course for GMAT.

I feel lot of concept / approach to solve the questions were missed and learning especially for DI was pathetic, I have exam in 2 months and feel no point buying a new course. Should I solve more and more DI questions from gmatclub or rather buy a course to learn about DI

I didn’t understand the question...
Do you mean to ask whether ISB assesses application on rolling basis???


if yes, then the answer to the question is NO.
The application is assessed after the deadline.

The articleship period does not technically count toward eligibility for ISB PGP. If you have done something genuinely interesting during that time, for eg. thinking beyond the standard scope of CA work, it could give you strong material to position yourself within the younger pool. A 665 mock is borderline average, so you would want to push that higher on the actual to compensate for your relatively lower work experience. The 61% in CA is also not a profile spike.

You should work on planning how your experience can be presented. For example saying 'I have handled audits, compliance, reporting, clients' will not impress much because its fairly standard for a CA. For someone applying early, B schools look for unusually high maturity for the experience level. So in your application, showing decision exposure and real business context, even if you were not the final decision maker will make your case stronger. A weak version of this profile type is one that pre -PGP stays limited to reporting, audit, and compliance work, with no ownership, no visible impact, but a generic goal like consulting or private equity.

Planning to attempt official mock soon
Scored 665 in GMAT Clubs mock

My Profile is 9/9/ (61% in CA, not sure where this will belong)

Having 1.6 years of work ex post qualification experience (Core Finance Role) . 2 years will be complete by the time of R-1 interview.

Do I have any edge for ISB??


Apologies :(

During articleship period, I have done industrial training which o feel , I did different from majority of the crowd.

Also 1.6 years is different from articleship in a renowned listed company

That's a tough one to answer.

A few years back, ISB surprised by rolling out interview calls to a few applicants who had submitted their application much before the deadline. In my recollection, this has happened just once though.

Nevertheless, if you are done with the application much before the 20th September deadline, it would not hurt to apply early.

Sure, but what it takes to get an admit is a lot more nuanced. I did make a post on this last year, since quite a few CAs had reached out for ding analysis back then. Feel free to go through it, and if you would like to discuss your case personally, reach out.

I have a '9/9/9' profile and have cleared all levels of the CFA program. My professional background includes six months of experience in Audit at Deloitte and 2.5 years in Buy-Side Equity Research at a boutique PMS. What GMAT score should I target for ISB?

Additionally, I left my job last month to pursue full-time CFA teaching, i have been developing video content for it. Since I have always intended to pursue an MBA, I decided to use this time to build my teaching platform while preparing for admissions. Will leaving my job to pursue this venture negatively affect my chances of admission?

Hi NetOrb, I am assuming you are a CA. Please target a 675+.

Since you "always" intended to pursue an MBA, leaving the job is a complication that you could have postponed for a few months (until the b-school application submission).

Anyway, since the arrow has already been shot, see how you can best integrate this career move of yours in the ISB essays.
