Hi Sushmita97, You have good startup and entrepreneurial experience. The domain fintech is also a nice one to be in. And you are district level representation at table tennis, which is really great.

Overall, a good profile except maybe the academic scores are slightly average. You can target 665 in GMAT and 325 in GRE. Selection can happen at lower scores as well and higher scores are even better.

Best Wishes.

what is 90 percentile for ISB ?
Well, that's a complicated question shubhamsomani020. Let us address this in two dimensions:

i) Applicants to ISB: For all the candidates applying to ISB, the 90th percentile information is known only to GMAC and ISB.

ii) Admits to ISB: For all the candidates admitted to ISB, the 90th percentile information is known only to ISB. The 50th percentile (median) of admitted candidates was 675 last year, as per ISB. So, my guess is that 90th percentile for admitted candidates could be around 695.

Hi Ayushiseth09, You have good academics and graduated as gold medalist. The work experience is also slightly different in automobile sector and that too in operations, planning and strategy.

This is a good profile and 645 is competitive score. Of course, a 655-665 would have been better. But if you feel that scores looks stagnant and difficult to improve by 20-30 points in next 1-2 months, then apply in R1.

You can mostly get a shortlist in this score. And if you can do well in interview, it wont be very difficult to qualify in R1 as well. Take your call. R1 and R2 are same.

Best Wishes
