Hello!
Your GMAT and acads are decent and so is the extra-curricular experience at college. For a comprehensive evaluation, could you share a bit more about your work ex and any achievements therein? Also, what about your hobbies and extra-curricular now?
The tricky part would be to bridge the gap between your current role as an Audit Analyst at a big 4 and your short-term goal of getting into marketing. For e.g. if you liked it so much during internship / college then you could've pursued it after graduation.
Thanks,

Hi Manan, thanks for your response!
I mentioned marketing strategy as an example of a field that I have found I have an aptitude for; however, strategy consulting is the field I would like to pursue a career in.
I currently work as an audit analyst at KPMG Global services as a part of the Dutch practice. Here we perform the required audit procedures for our clients, most of whom are based in the Netherlands.
Being an audit analyst, I believe, has given me an overview of the operations and functions of various companies in various industries. I have also been able to gain an understanding of how various factors interact with a business entity and its operations.
At work, my team and I won the first position at the innovation fest, which was basically a strategic innovation competition on how KGS NL can expand its operations. We then had to present our suggestions to the whole team and won the first prize. Apart from this, I have had good reviews from supervisors.
I believe my experiences at work and in college, will assist me in my short term goal of becoming a strategy consultant and my long term goal of being an entrepreneur.
As for my hobbies, with work and corona, it has been very difficult to find time for my hobbies but I do try to find the time to read and play video games.[/quote]
Thanks, you need to carve out a couple of good examples from your work where you demonstrated leadership, displayed ownership with positive impact your the firm, your team and yourself. Regarding goals, be clear on how would ISB help you achieve your short term goal and how it links with a long-term one of being an entrepreneur (an idea of when and what venture would help your cause). Work very hard on your application, this is not a profile which jumps out.
