Decent, though in view of slightly moderate academics, a higher GMAT score would not hurt.

Hi iustoesse,

Barring strong extra-curricular activities, you have, practically, all it takes to put forth a compelling application. At this point, focus on showcasing what you have gained from your start-up journey, and how the PGP fits in the scheme of things - this will include portraying a set of goals that sync well with your background.

Please leave an inquiry for a free strategy session; don't worry about enrollment etc; even if we are able to give you some good insights, we will be happy.

All the best!

I had a low GMAT score and have received an invite for interview to ISB (for 18th Oct). Does this mean that the impact of my low score has been minimised or are there very low chances that I will actually convert?
