Volunteer exp - well can't comment until u share what you did , how u did and what was the final outcome or result that gave you satisfaction.
If it indeed gave one....was it just to fill the gaps in cv? Or tick the mark ? No disrespect just whenever the work ex is less and its about EEO - THEY Might scrutinize u guys more.
So think, retrospect more on it and have answers ready
Coming up to other aspects of the profile
All seems to be good fit for the school(isb)
Showcase your work exp in detail , showcase the initiative that u must have been carrying forward in your recent or current role, citibank is great brand to have👍
I would say -
Just be ready for the interview coz thats gonna be a make it or break it part .
GMAT or GRE - no difference no pro or con there so don't worry.
Personal preference is what is easier for u...
For me it was gmat ...for u it might be gre.
Just understand that GRE or GMAT is just one aspect the overall profile and interview , work ex so far and extra curriculars are a packaged deal ...so all the best.
PS-
Not a consultant just giy who got in at isb with regular admit bt decided for abroad mba👍👍☺️
