When Govind first reached out to me in October 2023, he had a singular goal: to get into ISB.
With an M. Tech degree, 4+ years of experience spanning private and public sectors, his profile presented notable strengths. However, there were also some challenges: his career break limited his total years of experience, and the rationale for transitioning from a PSU to a business role had to be strong.
We applied to ISB in Round 2 (December 2023). Although Govind was shortlisted for interviews, he couldn’t secure the admit.
But Govind didn’t give up. He retook the GMAT and secured a higher score. He also strengthened his professional arc by taking on impactful projects at work.
In June 2024, he reached out to me again about reapplying to ISB. He told me that he enjoyed working with admitStreet and felt that our support would help him put in a strong application.
By reflecting on feedback from his previous application, we re-strategized key aspects. As ISB’s essay prompts have changed, we reworked his essays to make them more authentic, personal, and reflective of his journey. We also conducted a detailed mock interview session and practiced responses for commonly asked ISB interview questions.
And this time, after a rigorous interview process, Govind achieved his dream - he got into ISB!
