Please evaluate my profile:
Current GMAT: (760 , Q49/V44 , IR4) (IR is disappointing but ISB has mentioned that it does not consider it- Still unsure)
Academics :

10th - 93% (ISC) , 12th - 88.2% (ISC)

Work Experience 4 years:

Post MBA industry: Want to work in Green energy space as Consultant /Strategy Advisor/
I am also very confused about which mba consultant to go with?

Posted from my mobile device

Hello anmolsb,

You have a stellar GMAT score and needn't worry about the IR. Your career goals too sync well although they appear to be very niche; thus, in the interest of feasibility, you might want to broaden them out a bit.

With the existing score, a differentiated profile, and the experience of working with Wipro, you stand a very high chance of bagging an interview call, to begin with. If you haven't already applied to ISB in Round 1, we are happy to offer you a free profile evaluation session. You may reach out to us accordingly.

Good luck!

Hi aditijain1507,

Thanks for writing in.

While the GMAT score hovers around the average, you have a fair number of talking points in your profile, especially the managerial experience and the promotion at a fairly young age; plus you also have some valuable extra-curricular activities that would help showcase you as an all-round individual. Your career goals are not mentioned in your post; so, if you are able to tie up your work experience and overall strengths with what you wish to achieve after the PGP, we have a strong case in hand.

In case you have not already applied to the PGP in Round 1, please feel free to get in touch with us for a free profile evaluation session.

All the best!

Hello Abhinav230,

Thanks for writing in.

The GMAT score is definitely on the lower side of the average but profile-wise, there are a number of talking points - client handling exposure, entrepreneurial experience, as well as decent extra-curriculars if not stellar ones.

Curious to know why your post MBA goals revolve around health tech. We are hoping you are currently working full-time in the same domain as well.

The essays hold the key here - how well you link your strengths and experience, the need for a managerial education, and what you wish to achieve going forward. If you are able to showcase the same through compelling essays, you will have a good chance of getting an interview call.

Good luck!

I've worked across domains such as regulatory compliance, contracts and commercials, project management, operations and auditing. I've worked with diverse clients, spanning FMCG, Pharma, Telecom and IT services. These clients have been global, so I have consistently interacted with stakeholders from varied backgrounds and geographies. Unfortunately, due to the pandemic I was not allowed the opportunity to travel. I've driven multiple engagements and clients at a given time as an SME. Some engagements were:

ITGCs - IT audits and Controls assessments
CSV - Regulatory compliance validations as per FDA regulations
Business Analyst - for SAP and non-SAP applications implementations
Transition manager - driving outsourcing operations for a client to multiple third party vendors. Subsequently, helped set up Business process excellence framework post transition.

Goals:
Short term : Move from Business Consulting to Transaction Advisory (Mergers/Acquisitions and Strategy) in Consulting
Long term : Leadership role in strategy

Happy to hear any suggestions or inputs to improve my profile further.

Hi abhisg1,

Thanks for writing in.

At this point, focus should be on achieving a GMAT score in excess of the average at ISB as well as essays that aptly focus on your strengths and bring out strong sync between all that you have done and your post MBA goals. Since you are looking at a transition, you will need to clearly bring out your motivation and how the PGP is going to help you in this regard.

Just focus on cosolidating all that you have done so far instead of worrying about improving your profile. Should you fel the need for a detailed discussion, please feel free to reach out to.

Hello, I want to apply for the Early Entry Option. Please take a look at my profile

X-82%
XII-80%
Engineering- 6.91/10(Osmania University)

GRE- 336(Q170 V166)

Extra-curriculars:
1. Part of an NGO for 2 years, which represents patients with a bleeding disorder. Organized and led many events for the NGO.
2. Only volunteer for an International doctors' camp. Helped in their work, which is now used in many countries.
3. College organizing committee member, played a crucial role in establishing Music Club in our new college.
4. Participated in MUN

Work Experience:
I recently started working for Cognizant, India as an Analyst.

So even if I don't get admitted now, is there a chance for me to get an admission after 2 or 3 years?

Hi Steviekamp,

Thanks for writing in.

You have a very good GRE score and considering you just started working with Cognizant, you will also have a number of takeaways in so far as your professional experience goes.

You must definitely look at applying for the Early Entry Option. There is absolutely nothing to lose because (even in the worst case scenario) you can always apply as a re-applicant a couple of years down the line!

All the best!

Hi Abhijeet612,

Hope this finds you well. The information shared by you is very limited in nature and we are, therefore, unable to comment on your profile in detail. However, the GMAT score you are targetting is on the lower side and you should definitely be looking for a score upwards of 710.

We hope you are also considering some other programs.

Thanks.

Hello Krishnaps54

Most important element here is what are your post MBA career goals.
ISB would want to know why you wouldn't go for MFAB instead of PGP. Big question to answer.
Apart from this missing info, you have obvious strengths (acads, GMAT, paper) that will help you stand out (no extracurricular to talk about though).

Hello AmritS

Candidates from the armed forces definitely have an edge.
It is essential that you also work on stating the right set of goals looking at your experience (if you haven't, go research about the amazon pathways program, might suit you).
With a 700+ you will have a good shot at ISB.
DM me if you want to get in touch with other past students from the army/navy who studied at ISB.
P.S.- exposure to corporate is not a downside

Piyush700:

You have the pillars of a strong foundation for getting admitted to ISB. It would be helpful to learn more about your experience - both extracurricular and professional - but you don't necessarily need to share here. The depth of your achievements needs to be showcased in your CV/resume and essays (and LORs.) That's where you will find the greatest opportunity to differentiate yourself the competition. Coming from politics is going to be an especially interesting angle.

Your scores (GPA and GMAT) are solid, so no need to worry there!

Good luck,
Admissionado

Dear Piyush700,

At first glance, your profile seems to be quite interesting. The ad com would definitely be interested to understand what motivated you to transition from a Mechanical engineering role to that of a Political consultant. If you play your cards well and can relate how your unique experience will add value to the cohort and contribute to peer learning, you should be well positioned to receive an interview invite. Leadership, Crisis Management, Diplomacy, Networking, Grass root level impact, Identification of causes relevant to the masses, policy and frameworks aligned with the right incentives, etc. are some of the skill sets you can position.

Career Goals – Ad com would want to understand where you see yourself post the MBA program, how ISB fits in your goals, and what transferrable skills from your present and past you will leverage to succeed in your future. While your stats tell the admissions committee whether you can likely handle the rigor of their program, they don’t reveal anything about how you work with others, what leadership roles you've taken, what motivates you or what your future goals are. You will need to address and highlight them via a compelling draft of Essays, LOR, and application form.

I am an ISB alum, CO15, and have been guiding applicants to get into global Business schools for the last 6 years. Reach out to me in case you seek professional help with your application.

Cheers and Best of Luck!

Hello saumya1901,

Thanks for writing in.

You have a highly differentiated profile that encompasses a number of achievements - professional and extra-curricular. The GMAT score is also very competitive. We see you have a very strong chance at ISB provided you are able to tie everything together in your essays. Your career goals look a bit all over the place at the moment; therefore, getting more clarity on this front is definitely something you should be looking at.
