Focus on GMAT, especially considering that you have slightly lesser experience. Note that articleship does not count towards fulltime experience.

Around 650 might be a bit insufficient, especially in view of your modest academics score in graduation.

Hi Everyone
I needed a bit guidance on how should I go about with my preparation for ISB
To give a bit overview I currently have 2 years of experience in financial services industry as a Research and Investment Analyst and have cleared all three Levels of CFA
I have 92.2% in in 10th, 94.17% in 12th and 9.55 CGPA in Bachelor’s translated to around 89%
I haven’t started preparing for GMAT but gave one of the GMAT club mocks and score around 615
I plan to apply for round 1
How should I start preparing and what kind of coaching should I take and what marks should I aim for
Also someone told me apart from this I will also have to focus on social services and charity work to have my profile stand out as a lot of people at ISB have CFA so won’t help in differentiating
Any kind of help will be very useful in my preparation towards it
Thank you

You already have a strong base profile for ISB.
Excellent academics, CFA charterholder status, and relevant finance experience put you in a good position even before GMAT prep starts.
Your current mock of 615 is actually a decent starting point if you haven’t prepared seriously yet. I believe you can target GMAT Focus: 685+
Don’t randomly collect certifications or activities just for applications. Especially since many candidates do them for the sake of applications and its just noise.
Social impact helps only if it is genuine and consistent. Panel can easily understand if it's for the sake of application or out of genuine interest.
CFA already differentiates you positively, especially combined with strong academics
Biggest differentiator now will be GMAT, quality of work impact,clarity of goals and how you weave your story therfore communication/storytelling
For prep: there are a ton of resources out there and I will just say one or 2 things
This is an exam that's best cracked with full momentum and instead of solving more try to introspect more on your mistakes.
Overall, with 685+ and solid execution in essays/interviews, you’ll be a competitive ISB applicant.

That is really helpful
If you don’t mind would you be able to recommend some resources
As I was planning to take Jamboree’s self paced GMAT preparation batch if you have any knowledge about that or any other resources which might help better would be really helpful give that I am working right now as mentioned above and am also simultaneously preparing for CAT so what kind of resources should I go for
