Hi Anirudh,

Great questions!

First of all you have a great background and an impressive set of experience. Based on our interactions with the ISB Admissions Executives, we can confidently say that they welcome a well-rounded and diverse pool of applicants with an entrepreneurial mindset.

Here's what we would suggest:
1. You should target a GMAT score of 710+ to maximize your chances at ISB
2. There is no "ideal" admit at any b-school per se. That said, if you position yourself as an multifaceted and driven startup executive you will be able to impress the admissions team
3 and 4. It's best to take your time and prepare for GMAT in a way that gets you a decent score, even if it means waiting till R2 before applying

If you would like to discuss further, we would be happy to set up a call with you and review your profile/resume in detail. We provide free 15 minute consultation for resume review or to discuss any MBA related questions.

Hi,
700+ in GMAT will take you to safe zone. Initially, try to score 700+ in GMAT.
Regarding, Round 1 or Round 2 discussion : Both Rounds have equal weightage but if you are aiming for scholarship , then Round 1 is preferable.

Hi snahush
- Target 700+ and if possible 720+.
- Your main targets should be the IIM experienced MBA programs. The Singapore schools may consider you a bit too experienced, although they are not out of the league, and evaluate apps on a case by case basis.
- You can apply to ISB, but you will be among the most experienced people in the class (less than 2% of ISB's current class has this much experience). While your chances are not zero, and with a strong app and clear goals + a strong GMAT, you will have a chance, don't look at ISB as your only option.

Hi sheen22

- Seems to be some good work there, but you are broadly still in the hypercompetitive IT category. Target a minimum GMAT of 700, especially as your engineering GPA is also just about average.
- Please provide more details on your current work and responsibilities, for a better assessment of the professional profile.
- ECA seems fine from what you did in college; again, more details there would be appreciated for a better evaluation.

Hi Ketan08

- Pretty good profile and pretty solid chances. Acads/GMAT are all in place, and the BCG brand name certainly helps. At the ~2 year experience mark, you are at the lower end of the work experience spectrum, and the GMAT is around the limits of the range of tolerance for that bracket, but the BCG name will ensure you don't need a retake.
- ECA seems fine as well.
- Decent chances overall for R1 this year. Work hard and put in a solid app.

Hi Akshatarora0112

How much experience do you have overall?

Hi pm1995

How long have you been at UHG?

It has only been 4 months

Posted from my mobile device

Hi pm1995

Thanks for the details. Here is our assessment:
- With 9 months of experience in software development, and 4 in marketing analytics, you need to be careful in terms of expressing your goals. You have moved functions (though they are related), and industries too, within a short span of time, and are now applying for an MBA. Therefore, clarity on goals and the need for an MBA now will be very important. You will need to apply to the Early Entry Option if you apply this year.
- ECA seems ok as there are some decent talking points there. Acads are all good, and the DTU brand (we have worked with several people from your school, and know that ISB perceives it as a good brand) will help as well.
- GMAT at 700 could be better, given the category and the applicant pool (EEO) that you will be in. As a DTU engineering, you can do better than Q47. We would suggest a retake. If you can achieve Q49, V40, that is a 720. Go for it.

Hope this helps. Feel free to come back with more queries as needed.

3 years at the moment.

Hi Akshatarora0112

Thanks for the information.
- Overall, you should have a good chance at the ISB process. The GMAT/acads/experience are all well in line.
- You do have some interesting experiences, and those will help too, with respect to diversity that ISB looks for.
- Well set overall. Start working on your apps, and target R1, as that will further help.

Hope this helps. Feel free to come back with more queries as needed.
