ISB Profile Evaluation - Tools for B-School Profile Evaluation

GyanOne and MBADecoder Can please evaluate my profile and tell me what would be an ideal score for me For ISB.

Also, assuming I get aroung 670-700, what are the other colleges I can aim at?

Hi ameyaprabhu,

I come from advertising myself, so its exciting to see your profile.

Generally I tell applicants to aim for a 700+ score, but because of your distinct profile, I'd advise you to go ahead and apply even if your score is lower. I had helped a career changer (IT to healthcare) apply successfully to ISB last year, with a 660 GMAT, so anything is possible if you submit a great app.

I think IIMC and IIMB will be good choices. I'd suggest you do some research- if you want to move over to the client side, which are the colleges which have your target companies coming on campus? With effective networking, you could still find the the role that you want with these companies. Look at employment stats and talk to current students/ recent alums. Linked In is a great place to start your search. Also, most colleges are on the road right now, organizing info sessions in metros and doing webinars. Register yourself on their websites for these.

Thanks MBADecoder.

I thought IIMB and C only consider applicants above 7 years of work ex. Will need to do some more research I guess.

B.E - Computer Science and Engineering - 82% Mahrishi Dayanand University, Rohtak

Female/Married

GMAT - 700 (Dec 2015)

Work Ex : 6.5 years, as on 31 March 2017

Currently working in Adobe since last 2 years as a Software Engineer- 2. My role requires program management, vendor management as well as automation. It also involves constant interaction with client and articulating their requirements into deliverable( Kind of Business Analyst role). I started as Quality Engineer and have continued in the same line.I have a lead role since past two years, but my designation does not have the word 'lead' in it.

Academically consistent all through school and college. Was among toppers in both of them.

Extra curricular- In school and college, I was into Oration, writing, science symposiums. I won many state and national level prizes at school.

At my workplace I am into publishing paper, product ideation, and CSR. I have also been a mentor to one of the creativity scholars chosen by Adobe from all over the globe. And currently I am involved in a Pro-Bono project with an established NGO. I also have recognitions from my workplace for my work.

Hobbies- Include reading fiction and health related articles, watching movies and volunteering.

Why MBA? - It is my obvious path right now. I love my job and I want to grow in it. I have gained enough experience to see how a product evolves and how each of the stakeholders is impacted by the progress or lack of it. I am creatively inclined (hence, Adobe!!), and want to develop my ideas into products. My short -term career plan is to go into product management and eventually evolve into higher leadership roles.
