Has it been the case earlier that ISB has entertained location or date change post the declaration of time and venues?

Can we ask for a location change before you’ve recieved an invite? Considering that it’s not even confirmed that one will get an invite?

So, Verified status is a ticking time bomb if it doesn't get moved into shortlisting in progress 🌚.

I hate to break it to you that 615 isn’t a great score to stay very hopeful.

So a strong recommendation is to improve the score. 🙂

hey temporibustempura,

Happy to help. For an ISB profile evaluation, it’s useful to first look at a few core areas such as your academics, GMAT or GRE score, total and quality of work experience, leadership and impact at work, extracurricular involvement, and clarity of post-MBA goals. ISB tends to value progression and impact over just years of experience, so how your story comes together matters a lot.

If you’re comfortable, you can share brief details on your background here and people can offer initial perspectives. If you prefer a more structured one-on-one evaluation to understand competitiveness and next steps, you can also have a short discussion here

Either way, happy to guide once there’s a bit more context.

Hey Garvit Pareek,

A GMAT Focus 615 is on the lower side for ISB PGPYL, though it is not an automatic disqualifier. For PGPYL, ISB typically looks for strong academic readiness and clarity of potential, since candidates are early in their careers. Your sectional breakup is decent, but overall, a higher GMAT would materially strengthen your profile.

At this score level, the GMAT is generally more workable for MiM programs than for highly competitive PGP-style programs. Candidates with similar scores are often competitive for MiM programs at schools such as ESSEC, ESCP, EDHEC, EMLYON, ESADE, IE, Rotterdam School of Management, and several UK programs including Warwick and Manchester. Outcomes still depend on the overall profile and motivation, but a GMAT retake would open up stronger options, particularly at schools like HEC Paris MiM or LBS MiM.

Academically, your 10th and 12th scores are solid, and your UG performance is good. The PG score is slightly weaker, but given that it is in a quantitative science discipline, it will not hurt significantly if the rest of the profile shows consistency and ability to handle academic rigor. Your internships are relevant, but for PGPYL, ISB will look closely at depth of impact, initiative taken, and learning outcomes rather than just duration.

Your decision to retake the GMAT is the right call. A score closer to the mid-600s or higher would meaningfully improve competitiveness and reduce pressure on other parts of the application. Alongside the retake, it will be important to clearly articulate why PGPYL makes sense now, your long-term goals, and how your academic background and internships tie into that story.

Overall, the profile has a foundation, but the GMAT retake and sharper narrative will be key to improving your chances. If you want a more nuanced view on score targets and positioning for PGPYL or MiM programs, a quick profile discussion can help clarify next steps. Book a short call here.

You could target MiM of Essec (it’s hard but possible)

Insead, HEC and LBS seem out of bounds

Edhec too is possible

Esade is in reach

SDA Bocconi is a long shot...
I am not sure about ESMT ..

But the score would be fine for ESMT. German schools are ok with such scores if they find good match in you for their school
