Hello everyone. Pls help me with my profile

10th- 95% SSC
12th - 94% MEC
CA - 2018
CFA L2-2023
BCOM from IGNOU - 2015
Currently working as a senior manager in a Tata group company in Financing & Treasury role. With the same company for almost 7 Yrs
Won gold/silver medals in quiz competitions at district level in 12th
Target GMAT score - 695+
Target schools - M7/ISB.
Any inputs r really helpful
From the limited details, the profile is academic centric. Strong numbers and professional degrees. Score of 695+ is good enough for most schools. Especially for M7 other aspects of your personal and professional journey should fall in place. As the minimum criteria bases are already covered @akshayVillvalm

Hi @WA@sby1046,

A 655 is well under the average at ISB and your CGPA is low as well; hence, you should look at retaking the GMAT.

All the best!

Hi AkshayVillvalam,

If you can achieve your target score by the first week of August, you will have time to apply to your target schools (with still about a month to go before the application deadline for these schools).

All the best!

Hello All, I am currently in the practice phase of GMAT FE writing mocks. Planning on applying to M7/ISB in the R1 deadlines. Just wanted to know if it's possible considering the timeline? If yes, how much time is required for readying the whole application?
Can anyone help me with these?

You can look up ISB class profile, it will give you a good overview of class composition - among other things

Jokes apart, checkout Strategy4GMAT.com
or
Management Masters
Or
AdmitStreet
Or
ISBeacon
Or
MBA Crystal Ball

Few good ones among others.

In any case, do speak with all..invest a couple of days before going through with anyone.. it’s an important decision.. almost like a relationship :)
How about ?
1) isb matra
2) goal isb
3) jamboree

Do any of these consultants offer money back guarantee??

No good consultant will.

I actually have something better for you guys, was planning on doing a social service for y’all with resume workshop (& if I get more time to do so, other stuff as well)

But I’ll have to gauge the interest coz if I’m getting less than 10 people in that workshop, it’s not worth my time.
