Any idea on where can we get access to sample essays or previous essays for reference.
I have samples of resume, essays and LORs for US M7s and others on MBA Conquerors website. While I don’t have ISB, the resume and LOR can still help given the ISB conforms to those principles too.

We generally discourage this practice.

It has so happened in the past that many of our candidates wanted us to share past essay samples of "successful candidates" with them.

However, it so happened in almost all such cases that while working on their essays, these candidates essentially largely stuck to the theme and the storyline of the sample essays, just making few changes here and there.

This clearly is not desirable, since every person is different and every story is different.

Hence, even if you do get hold of these sample essays, do not consider them as a template that you have to conform to, since this will then rob you of both your unique story and your unique story-telling.

All the best!

Hi dev7903,

The career break will need some explaining and will be disadvantageous; however, with a narrative that is otherwise logical and strong as well as a GMAT score in excess of 685, you should have a fair chance of receiving an interview call.

All the best!

Given your GMAT FE score of 645, you’ll want to look at programs that balance brand strength with holistic admissions. Schools like IESE (Spain), Mannheim (Germany), NUS (Singapore), ISB (India), UBC Sauder (Canada), HKUST (Hong Kong), and even Oxford’s 1-year MBA (though Oxford’s average is higher, they’ve admitted applicants with lower scores who had strong backgrounds in consulting or development). You could also consider one-year U.S. MBAs like Emory Goizueta or USC Marshall if you’re willing to explain your story strongly. A parallel route could be ESG-focused Master’s programs like LSE, Duke Sanford, or Yale SOM have strong crossovers between business and impact. For consulting support, please reach out to Admit Scholar for further help.
