Hi. The GMAT is fine (hopefully the Q&V split was balanced). What was your career trajectory like e.g. projects, promotions?

Coming from an overrepresented background (Indian Male Engineer), the strength of your work-ex (i.e. roles and the impact you had), motivation (i.e. why MBA, post-MBA goals, how/ why ISB) and introspection (i.e. strengths/ weakness, failures/ successes) would play a key factor in your ISB application.

But I am not sure what colleges I can aim for with my GMAT score. Should I try to improve my GMAT score ?GMAT 720 split is Q49 V40.

While we can't comment on specific schools based on this initial context (this would require a deeper understanding of your work-ex, post-mba goals), broadly UST15-25 programs which are aligned to your goals can be considered.

For US T10/ T15 programs, a higher score (ideally 10-20 points above the school's average) would be recommended in my view, given the Indian applicant perspective.

Feel free to reach out via the email below for a deeper chat.
