Hi Akshay,

You have a strong and multifaceted profile for ISB, with 5 years of consulting experience, a top-tier academic record, and a 665 GMAT Focus/700 GMAT Classic. Your extracurriculars - Toastmasters, published author, and social media presence demonstrate communication skills, creativity, and influence, which are highly valued. The clear post-MBA goal of transitioning into Product Management is realistic, given your consulting background and tech exposure. As a reapplicant, focus on showing professional growth since your last application, clarifying your product management story, and highlighting leadership impact to strengthen your application.

It will be crucial to build an authentic, compelling narrative. Focus on articulating your goals and career transition plan clearly - make sure your goals are specific and well-defined. Connect your past experiences to your future goals, highlight the specific skills or exposure you're seeking and explain how the MBA will help you gain these to achieve your goals.
