Hi,

Could anyone please evaluate my profile for ISB PGP-YL (20 Months Program)?

Academics:
- 10th Grade: 91%
- 12th Grade: 88%
- BBA in Finance (from a top-2 ranked college in India): 9.13 GPA
- Received both merit and extracurricular scholarships

Leadership & Activities:
- Event Head for Corporate Strategy (selected as 1 of only 3 from my batch)
- Member Head of one of the most prestigious Org in the Uni.
- Part of the Sponsorship Committee for 2 years
- Participated in multiple national case study competitions and management fests
- Volunteered 45 hours at an NGO

Work Experience:
- Currently working as an Investment Research (FinRes) Associate at DE Shaw since June 2025
- Will have about 1 year of work experience by the time of program commencement

Questions:
1. Are there specific areas I should target to further strengthen my profile (application)?
2. What is the minimum GMAT score I would need to expect an interview call?
3. What GMAT score should I aim for if I want to be competitive for scholarships?

Thank you!

princiejain, Good Profile, outstanding acads and good work ex. Oil PSU makes you learn a lot! You can get a admit at around 655, but for scholarship, 715-725 onwards will be more desirable.

Hi Nomad3, Investment research gives good first hand experience of corporate life an learning curve is steep. There are good number of quality leadership examples. Academics is decent.

1. Are there specific areas I should target to further strengthen my profile (application)? - Think of what you would like to do post MBA and if any course or internship helps towards that, you can start the process of that if time permits. 2. What is the minimum GMAT score I would need to expect an interview call? - About 645-655 would be good enough to get an interview call. (But target higher) 3. What GMAT score should I aim for if I want to be competitive for scholarships? - Above 715, you can get at a lower score as well, but target higher.

Best Wishes

Hi All,

I went to give the GMAT at a test centre yesterday, but I couldn’t start the test because they were facing some technical issues. So after waiting for around 2+ hours, they mentioned that they have raised a case for me and suggested that I contact the customer support on Monday and ask them to reschedule the test. I tried looking for the customer support number/email id on the website but was unable to find it. I am pretty sure I am not looking in the right place.

Not sure if this is the right forum to ask, but, if possible, could someone please help me on how I can reach out to the customer support?
Hi ,the same thing happened with me few months back . You can write to team or give a call to customer support. You will be getting a generic answer that the technical team will have a look into it and mail you. They will get back to you in like 10-12 days , not before that and most probably give you a voucher to appear the exam again .
