GMAT: 700-720 (expected) What is your timeline for the GMAT?
CGPA: 8.6/10 Past acads are decent. Recommended GMAT will be 720+ to stand a fighting chance.
Vellore Institute of Technology, Vellore
WORK EXPERIENCE:

FINLYTICS SOLUTIONS
Vice President, Design
Working with a group of six people running the startup in FinTech world. Helping them with the UI/UX design of the App and also being a key member taking necessary decisions for competing Apps like Walnut, ET Markets, etc.
Short but Good work ex- but what have you achieved in this tenure. ISB is more interested in your accomplishments.

L&T CONSTRUCTIONS (2018)
Student Intern
Project: ITC Sonar Expansion (ITC Hotels Group, Kolkata)
Worked with engineers to understand the finishing part of the 5-star hotel. Also, the methodology of different finishing styles by M/S WATG, Singapore.
This is basic info. What is the impact that you had? You tell more than just your role & responsibilities. Plus internship will not have as much role to play as your actual work ex.

L&T CONSTRUCTIONS (2017)
Student Intern
Project: ITC Sonar Expansion (ITC Hotels Group, Kolkata) Worked with engineers to understand and implement the structural part of the 27-floored hotel. Also, understa- nding the structural drawings and their implementation by Sterling Engineering Group Pvt. Ltd.

Sam feedback as above. You have close to 2.5 years of work ex. Why are you looking for an MBA at this stage of your career? Be prepared to justify that. You will need a spike in other areas of your profile to do that.

ELITE GRID ACADEMY
Business Development Executive & Graphic Designer
Worked with the educational institution in sales. Helped them making a business model for attracting more aspiring students and also did all graphic designing projects related to publicity & marketing.
VOLUNTEER EXPERIENCE:

American Society of Civil Engineers, Core Committee
Worked with the internationally known ASCE to help them organize various events & fests for Civil Dept.
The extracurricular activities look very interesting. What was the duration. You could bring some of these as stories in your essays.


Achievements:

Rank 1 - District & State level, National Child Rights' Congress

Always among top 10 in School level Olympiads organised by SOF.

Credit holder for MacMillan Olympiad

Achieved 23 Subjective Academic medals.

Good but repeating myself- more than academic achievements also focus on work related achievements and business impact more than technical

Most importantly you have not mentioned your reasons to pursue an MBA. This will play the most important role and has to fit your career, skills and ISB. Needless to say final success will depend on how you bring this out in your written application

Dear Experts,

Please evaluate my profile for ISB.

27 year old Indian Female
GMAT: expected 720-730
GPA: Undergraduate (2012) – 72% in Chemistry (Hon) from Miranda House, Delhi University
Post-grad (2014) – 69% in PGDM from ITM, Navi Mumbai

Work Experience (4 years):
- Currently employed in a Corporate Sales role at one of India’s leading banks, managing a team of 3 people.
- Was previously employed in a Corporate Sales role at another leading bank (2 years), and before that with one of India’s biggest Telecom operators as a Retail Store Manager handling a team of 12 executives (2 years)

Extra-curricular's:

Goals:
My career goal is to emerge as a leader in Marketing/Brand Management in the FMCG/Telecom space

Short term goal would be to work in the Brand Management team for a leading FMCG

Questions –

- Given my profile, will 720 be a good-enough GMAT score for me?

Thanks for your time and help!

Hi guys,

Profile:

X - 82.6%
XII - 83%
Chemistry (Hons) from Delhi University
LLB from Delhi University

I have 7 years of experience. 4.5 in mid level management and 2.5 in litigation. In my existing profile I manage process transformation of legal work from onshore lawyers in about 16 countries to offshore unit in India. I turned 32 a month back.

My existing salary is higher than ISB’s average domestic but my whole plan to do an MBA was to move into senior management in a KPO set up or change my industry for good.

I don’t know of any lawyers who have done an MBA after working for a few years and so do you guys think my profile is something ISB might be interested in or will PGPX be better for me with my experience and age?

Many thanks!
