Hi
adityaganesh24Thanks for posting. Here is our assessment:
- Your academics, work (analytics is always well regarded), ECA, and core work have all been quite impressive and with known brands. The IIT tag helps as well, though it is not quite the same as the older IITs (but still will be very helpful). If you can achieve a 730+ (or even a 700+), you should be well positioned for ISB.
- The issue here is in your goals. While your short term goal is feasible, the long-term is not in sync with the short-term one. Understood, you want to use analytics and tech to help early-stage startups. This is more of a product role and not a good sync with consulting. Can easily be tweaked a bit to make it more responsive.
- Would also suggest that unless you expand your school set to consider other schools apart from ISB too, as your profile is good.
- As of now, the immediate target is the GMAT. ISB has announced its deadlines already, so make you take the GMAT in the next couple of months.
- Also go through
Indian IT Male MBA Applicants as they will help you, though we understand you are a telecom/analytics professional and not a typical IT applicant.
Hope this helps. Feel free to come back with more queries as needed.
