Profile Evaluation for ISB
Hello everyone. I’m(30M) going to reapply to ISB this year in R1. Last time I applied was in 2021 R1. Got an interview call, but wasn’t selected.
My acads are as follows:
10th: 84% ICSE,
12th: 90% ISC,
B.Com(Honors): 68% Calcutta University,
CA Intermediate cleared,
GMAT Focus score: 735(100 percentile), Going to appear for CAT this year.
Extracurriculars:
Participated in Quiz and Skit competitions in school, organizer of events in school fest, Participated in various international essay competitions, Writes a blog on economics, philosophy, and technology, and Initiated and Organized Internal and External training Webinars at one of my work experience companies.
Work Experience (5 years with 2.5 years of gaps):
Worked at 5 different startups in B2B Saas, e-commerce,and Edtech domains, in multiple functions: operations, product management, and analytics. Reached the level of an Assistant/Associate Manager in these functions and have made a considerable impact.
As you can see, the EC isn’t really extraordinary. Also, there are multiple switches and gaps in my work experience - mostly because of lack of clarity and also because I didn’t want to be pigeonholed in a function that I didn’t consider long term for myself. Also in the 4 years since reapplying, I’ve had a total gap of around 2 years and switched twice.
Wanted to know my chances of admission in ISB.
Any help or opinions appreciated.
