Hey,
Congrats on giving your GMAT. It’s a great idea to start early, especially for ISB, where the essays and interviews carry a lot of weight. With your senior role and experience, ISB will expect you to clearly explain why you want to do an MBA now, what your goals are, and how ISB fits into that journey. The essays focus on your personal and professional story, while the interview is usually conversational but deep — they want to see clarity, maturity, and genuine motivation.
You can start preparing by thinking about key milestones in your career, your future goals, and how you’ve grown as a leader. Once you have clarity on that, writing essays and preparing for interviews becomes easier. If you feel stuck or unsure how to frame your story, we at AdmitScholar can help you work through it and build a strong application.
