Hi bagat,

Your entrepreneurial experience and international exposure will prove to be advantageous.

The success of your application will depend on how nicely you showcase the need for the PGP (particularly establishing what you found missing in your understanding while setting your venture up) and link your future goals with the same. Try aiming for a 665+ to have a good shot at bagging an interview call.

Feel free to inquire with us for a free strategy session in case you wish to discuss your prospects in detail.

All the best!

Hi bagat,

Your global exposure, leadership roles in university clubs, and hands-on experience in both Australia and India bring a unique perspective to ISB. While your GMAT FE score of 605 is on the lower side, aiming for a 645+ will help strengthen your chances. Your university leadership experience and clear post-MBA goals in VC or a Founder’s Office role align well with ISB’s strengths and ecosystem.

Please feel free to contact us for a profile evaluation with a former ISB Admissions Officer. Here.

Best Wishes!

Hi bagat

Your profile is quite interesting. The highlights of your profile are
- Done well academically.
- Your solo founder journey.
- International Experience

Your undergrad grades are on the lower side for ISB, so improving your GMAT to 650+ is very important. That will help balance your academic profile.

Your goal to move into a Founder’s Office role or VC after ISB makes sense, especially with your startup background. Focus on showing why this is the right time for you to do an MBA and how ISB fits into your journey.

Overall, your profile has a lot of potential. With a stronger GMAT and a well-written application that tells your story clearly, you should have a good shot at getting shortlisted.

Feel free to reach out for application assistance.

Thanks,
Dream Admit

bagat - You need to get a score in excess of 645 to have a realistic shot. Do note that we have factored in your startup building experience and hence suggesting 645 as min. reqd. score.

In the meantime you can go through the YT link below to get a sense of ISB Essays for this year :
