How to start preparing for interviews and essays ?

Should I hire a consultant and follow his advice. Or should I buy if self prep on myself before taking a help of consultant.

As I don’t have any idea , what’s the average pricing for a consultant ? I know it varies , still a median range for them .

Hi Arnab, GRE/GMAT prep and essays should be your immediate focus.

Interview prep can wait.

Good luck!

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.

Hi guys,

Wanted to ask a question so I am a 23 year old with almost 2years of experience and 2 months to go, so i was planning to put paper and study for 5 months for gmat, does the gap play a role and is 5 months sufficient to get into ISB

If you have used the RASCI matrix, you as the applicant are the R and the A, while a consultant is the S and C.

Hello Manpreet2022,

There are both types of scholarships.

There are merit scholarships you will automatically be considered for (even without a separate application).

There are some other scholarships based on need/diversity; if you find that you are eligible for the same, you may apply. The information is available on the link below:

https://www.isb.edu/programmes/post-gra ... holarships

All the best!
Manpreet2022
Hi, can anyone pls confirm abt procedure for consideration for scholarships?
do we write in optional essay or are we considered automatically, also I am a diversity candidate which is already reflected in my essays, so should I mention explicitly for getting considered for diversity scholarship
