I plan to give my GMAT again before R2- with a target score of 665/ 665+. I am currently with EY with People consulting (HR consulting) since the past 3 years. Plan to continue in consulting post MBA. I have received 4 performance-based awards in the last 3 years, and about to receive my 3rd promotion in a few weeks.
I have done my graduation in Psychology from Mithibai College, Mumbai university (graduated in 2022 with a 8.74 CGPA)
Prior to that my HSC and SSC scores are 84% & 90% respectively.
In terms of extracurriculars- I have represented my college as an assistant contingent leader in various fests during college. participated in college fests. done a few CSR activities like beach cleaning. Have ran marathons, (10k recently). Have also won a group qawwali competition in Mumbai university's youth festival.
Primary target is ISB 2026 intake R2, but also plan to apply for Insead 2027 january intake.

Good Luck!
Your professional story at EY with rapid promotions and multiple awards is strong, and your 8.74 GPA provides a solid academic foundation. The immediate issue is your GMAT Focus score: 635 is far too low for ISB or INSEAD.
A retake into the 660–680+ range is essential for ISB, and ideally 680–700+ for INSEAD. With the promotion you expect soon, your career trajectory will be compelling if paired with a stronger test score.
Extracurriculars are good but skewed toward your college years. Current community or leadership involvement would strengthen your profile. ISB R2 is realistic with a stronger score; INSEAD will require a much higher score plus clear articulation of your global career goals.
Your retake strategy will determine your chances. Let’s connect to map out how to maximize your ISB and INSEAD applications.
