Post MBA goals: Management Consulting, Strategy Consultant, Product Management
You have a rich work-ex and good academic profile along with diverse achievements & certifications. Your experience being a part of the pilot batches and setting things up from scratch can add unique dimensions to your application. 6 yrs tenure also puts you in a sweet spot. There are a few students every year who are pursuing their second MBA from ISB so as long as you have a logical narrative, it will work in your favour. Target a 675+ in GMAT and have a more nuanced sense of the post MBA goals - Management/Strategy consulting are blanket terms so being a little more specific here would help. Add any extracurriculars and hobbies as well if possible. Happy to discuss in more detail with you at Preppie (
