Hi Ella16, Good Profile Overall. It looks like you have done decent work in your role as QA in Deloitte USI. The extra Curricular is outstanding, kudos for the Kathak part.
The areas to address will be - 1) The academic scores are not that high. So try to get a above average GMAT score, something higher than 675 if possible. 2) Try to achieve or showcase some additional leadership side in your current work, meaning somewhere you would have taken greater responsibility than expected, took some initiative etc.
meilleurs vœux.

Can essays and other aspects of application compensate at this score. Have already tried a second attempt but got the exact same score. Not sure to go for a third attempt?
Unfortunately, it is unlikely that essays and application will be able to compensate for a GRE score of 315.

iamVD
GMAT: (GMAT FE 555)

Would love to hear how this aligns with typical admits and what I could do to strengthen my chances.
That score needs to go up by at least 100 points iamVD.

All the best!

Hi

I am 32 M ,indian

Msc maths 7.67 CGPA

7 years of professional experience in the education management industry.

Goal to move to become an edupreneur

Gaps in education.

4 years of corporate experience ( BYJUS,NARAYANA and IMS)

Ed tech start up as well for 15 months

Free lance educator for 2 years
Hi WA@wzr2703, Given your work experience, past entrepreneurship and freelancing experience along with gaps, you will need a really great story to answer a lot of natural queries which admissions team will have. Eg . Whats the need of MBA if you need to move to entrepreneurship, when you are already freelancing?
Please target a high GMAT, atleast 675.
Also explore one year MBAs from IIMs apart from applying in ISB. That may also equally suit your needs.
Best wishes

12th - 91.14%
College NIFT, Fashion Technology , CGPA: 8

Work Ex: A total of 3.5 years (As of July’ 25):

1.⁠ ⁠At a boutique consulting firm (Wazir Advisors- Associate Consultant) for 1.9 years:
-> 1 yr as Research Analyst in the apparel and textile strategy division working on market mapping, trend analysis and product research
-> 9 months as Associate Consultant leading projects across location prioritization, product mix formulation and feasibility studies

Let me know on what aspects should I focus.
Hi WA@cup1934, A well rounded profile with lots of high points - 1) A good mix of analyst + consulting + entrepreneurship experience 2) Good academic scores and college 3) A different education background and work than engineering and IT. 4) Painting + French + NGO - good enough extra curricular.

Where you will need to focus - 1) GRE score needs to go up by atleast 15 points. 2)Try to give some thought on your post MBA goals once you have got a good GRE, it should reflect your well researched thought process.

Best Wishes

WA@wzr2703
I did freelancing prior to COVID and a education start up as well, but was not able to scale it at all
Exactly these kinds of points you may need to bring out in your application to present the complete picture. As an individual, you are free to avail your choices in career, so they really dont judge that, but whatever a person has done, what was the underlying thought process. Thats what is looked into. So you can work towards that once you will have a competitive GMAT score ready with you. Hope it helped.

Thank you for the feedback. I’ve appeared for the GRE twice, can’t seem to crack this particular problem even after scoring in the 320s range in mocks. Could there be a work around the score?
Hi WA@cup1934, Score improvement will be crucial. The chances of selection at a score less than 320 is on a lower side. But there are some ways to work around score improvement and offsetting it, which depends on what level of preparation you have and what other detailed aspects of your profile and aspirations are. Having said that, some score improvement will definitely be required. If you wish to discuss further on this and just to avoid spamming the group here, feel free to ping at 9725776404 at your convenience. Regards.
