Hello 89KT96

Overall balanced profile. Acads, GMAT check the box.
Extracurricular are decent and can add brownie points on diversity if you present how these are relevant to the application.
From work experience point of view it would be important to see the transition from software to analyst and then into marketing (post MBA) and how all these tie together.

Hello kunalkumar050894

While you have covered most 'quantitative' aspects of the profile, tough to say the correct GMAT required without the 'qualitative' details.
With 26 months of work ex, how strong has been your career progress and what are the biggest achievements.
Looks like you have made one job change, this will need to be tied in with your career aspirations pre and post MBA as well.
Extracurricular might be a bit dated unless you have something stellar to talk about here.

4. Work Experience - 4 years
5. Current Role - Project Manager

In my four years of work experience, first 8 months I supported my father in setting up a new business, 6 months worked in a startup as a business analyst and post that in a fortune 500 company.

Hello revati16

I'd recommend 720+ to have strong chances considering your Computer Science background.
Past scores are strong and this will also show some consistency.
Career goals are organic, the entire challenge is to present the work experience and extracurricular in order to stand out from the competition.

Hello raipriyadarshi

What is your exact GMAT score (I'm assuming this is close to 630-650).
In that case, the score is quite low to be considered safe.
Work ex and extracurricular seem to show potential, but details of career goals will be crucial to assess the strength of your narrative.

Leading a team of 4 companies? What does that mean?

This needs bit of an introspection and brainstorming. After all these years in an operations profile in a gas distribution company, switching to a tech company might not be a smooth landing.

Hi 89KT96, your post MBA goals look completely mis-aligned with your professional experiences so far. So, they need to be thought thru.

Hi sbhutta,

Your work experience is rich and extra curricular are much above average.
As far as your GMAT score is concerned, its about 50 points lower than average. To compensate that, you require exceptional application and interview. Without reading your essays, it will be difficult to understand your chances. Since you have already applied, don't overthink on your chances now and prepare for the interview. If you will wait for shortlist to start interview preparation, it will be too late by then.

To answer your query regarding writing to admissions committee or making an ISB alum refer, do whatever is in your capacity. Although the chances of these things affecting your chances are slim, but still whats the harm trying?

If you require an assessment of your essays, we would be happy to help.

Hope it helped.
