Hi
anwesharath,
Thank you for sharing your profile. I see some good elements in your profile that will certainly help you make good stories. To begin with, your undergrad GPA is good, and if you got your target score (740), this part would be pretty sorted for you. On the work front, I recommend that you bring leadership and impact stories from your experience because ISB places a high value on exceptional leadership (also choose your LOR very wisely because b-schools give it high importance). In addition, speaking about your experiences working with various organizations will create an interesting discussion between you and adcoms. But to make a profile stand apart, you need to detail the experiences from and beyond work that shaped the most important traits of you.
For community involvement, you can elaborate on showing your integrity to your community and how it has shaped your personality. Also, for interests, express them as to how these impact you and work as a stress-buster.
If you need more direction/guidance over any aspect of your application and have any specific concerns, you can ask us on the forum
Ask MBA & Beyond.
For your post-MBA goals, you need to bring the right motivations for these goals to present a powerful story. So, on an overall note, I would say it all boils down to how you present your story. Your primary goal is into consulting while living in India post-mba. So, the best program is ISB.
If you’d like, we are happy to hop on a call with you sometime this week to discuss your profile in length and further chances to ISB. Feel free to
book a free session with us as per your convenience.
Let’s maximize your chances in Round 1 for fall intakeCheers!
