Hello!
Could you evaluate my profile as well?
Work experience:Currently employed with Tata Consultancy Services at Hyderabad, India- since January 2017. I had clear insight that I didn't want to be working on a technically oriented role so I kept my choices narrowed down to managerial roles within my firm.
Used to work as a Project Management Officer (Jan 2017 to Dec 2018) on 1 project- tasks involved were billing, Stakeholder Management, Work Order management, Revenue/Margin enhancement and maintenance of the Revenue Cost registers.
Took up 2 more projects within the next 6 months- notably, one of the projects is one of the biggest projects operating out of Hyderabad.
Since January 2019, have been promoted to a Pricing Analyst- currently part of a global team of 25 Pricing SMEs. I'm the youngest person on boarded onto a team where the average work experience is 9 years (I completed 2 years of work ex on Jan 2019).
A typical day in this role involves working on deal cost models, developing P&L and Cash flow for Contracts, supporting the Bid managers, Sales heads and Solution Heads in developing Contract schedules and determining financial implications of Contract terms.
So by the time I apply for Round 1 this year, I would be having roughly 31 months of work ex.Academics:B. Tech in Electronics and Telecommunications from Cochin University of Science and Technology (NBA Accredited Tier 1 College) (July 2016= 77.4%)

Extra curriculars:Classical music enthusiast, trained in the same (vocal)- both Carnatic and Hindustani styles. Proficient in playing the Keyboard/Harmonium (instruments).
Love debating, public speaking and am a voracious reader. Reasonably confident enough to claim that I have a way with words.

First GMAT score= 600 (Nov'18). Attempting again by Jul'19- aiming for a 750+.Do I stand a chance at being a part of the ISB PGPM Class of 2021? Reading some of the profiles here was pretty intimidating- I'm feeling pretty timid. But all the same, I'm excited. Looking forward to a response!
