Hi Arjun1001

Mechanical Engineer with a 730+ expected GMAT score, working in non-engineering role with a public sector bank and with your unique hobby makes you an ideal candidate for the PGP programs. Having worked in various departments of a public sector bank shows your understanding of the banking system and the best practices followed.

Doing additional certificates showcases your learnability skills and the B schools view it positively. The additional learning/courses to choose will largely depend upon:
1. How and where you would like to use the learning/outcome from the program.
2. The skills and learning you will gain from the program and its use.

Wishing you all the best.

Hi NivedithaRaj hope this finds you well

Your profile is very promising, with your experience in Supply Chain planning and automation at the feeder brand Amazon capturing my attention the most. That, coupled with the problems you've solved in key projects, should be the center of your application.

You have not stated your goals. Your application should describe your long-term motivation and the problems you've recognized through your experience that you aim to solve with the expertise you'll gain over time. Consider the big picture. Allow your goals to be both aspirational and motivating. This could be a fun exercise! A well-thought-out approach would be to consider what you want to do in the long run, say, 10-15 years from now, and why. Then, divide your journey to your long-term goals into various alternative professional pathways (a Plan A and a Plan B) to assist you in selecting the relevant skills.

Since you have experience in planning and operations, I assume you could be interested in a strategy role/consulting or a leadership position with a global or high-growth startup. If planning and process design is your thing, you can also pitch a Head position in supply chain network design or in-house product management if you want to expand on your experience. Make a logical connection between your significant technical and supply chain knowledge and the types of projects you would work on in the short to medium term at the companies you want to work for. This is critical for a good ISB and IIM A interview.

General feedback: you would be a relatively senior applicant at ISB. Your career progression is the most important aspect on which B-schools will judge you. So, make sure you showcase this excellently in your essay and resume (work experience section of the ISB application). How have you shown an upward trend in the last ~10 years? What new things have you learned, and what responsibilities have you gained in the ~10 years surfing the IT and in Supply Chain planning space?

Your ECs and accolades are good

Feel free to reach out should you need professional guidance.
Best wishes

Hi swaftnishant

A doctor wanting to do an MBA, Business schools will love to have you in the program. The best target score for any school is the average GMAT score of the current class, though you can get through with lesser than an average score of the class. However, average GMAT should be your target considering that you have cleared one of the most difficult admissions tests for your MBBS seat.

Do register with us for a free profile evaluation and to know about schools beyond ISB that offer similar EEO courses.

Wishing you all the best for your GMAT.

Hello swaftnishant

ISB is going to evaluate your profile on primarily 4 factors- 1) Academic Potential 2) Work Ex 3) Diversity 4) Career goals

Past scores show good academic potential and try to build on it by getting an equally good score. While in your case there are other strengths that can help you get in with a lower score, a 700+ will put you in a strong position. (for EEO a high score is anyway recommended as you will have less to talk about around work ex)
Work ex is missing and one will have to rely upon the internship and whatever you do in the remaining months. Just keep in mind that unlike academics, work ex is tougher to measure and what matters here is a) career progression b) achievements c) how you choose to present these in the application (essays, interviews and LORs)
Diversity (an ISB favorite) is what value will you add to the experience of your batchmates inside and outside the classroom. While the medical background adds diversity for sure, extracurricular also seem to show good potential. Just like work ex, presentation will matter here too.
Career goals, lastly- ISB wants to see leaders with a clear vision of their career and PGP as a stepping stone to fulfilling that vision. While your goals seem clear and organic, ISB will be curious to know why now and fit with the school (AKA your research and personalized reasons to attending ISB, and why EEO, why not later).

Focus on tying the above well in your application (apart from a strong GMAT score) and you have a decent shot.

Best

Hey Aman2100,

Let me begin by mentioning that you have a solid profile as the CGPA of 9.4 makes you eligible for the program and also establishes a strong academic foundation. In fact, there are internships, and certifications which helps your profile to stand out and showcases you as someone who kept learning, and upskilling him.

You have a credible work experience of 1.5 years, which makes you a competent individual for the program. In fact, your entrepreneurial initiatives where you co-founded an organisation add brownie points to your profile.

Really impressed by your profile as there’s EY, and other major brand names backing you. Your profile has the relevant quantification needed, as you’ve dealt with numbers and mentioned dealing with huge transactions as well. That definitely adds more value.

Your extracurriculars are extremely good, as you’ve secured 83rd in Fifth International Mathematics Olympiad. You being a member of EY ripples brings a good amount of corporate social responsibilities. that can definitely work for you.

If you need more help, we'd be happy to setup a call and give more pointers on how to improve your profile and the right schools you should target.

Hello,

You have a strong profile academically. You also have a good list of extracurriculars. At this stage you have the option of applying to deferred MBA programs or to MiM programs.

Some deferred MBA programs you could also research apart from ISB YLP are:
1. HBS 2+2

Hey Arjun1001,

Your academic record is strong, but your GPA is slightly lower than ideal. Highlighting extracurricular activities and leadership roles that you must have done during college will showcase valuable skills for an MBA program.

You can also showcase experience and leadership skills to demonstrate that you are a valuable candidate, even if you come from an unfamiliar school. Including relevant certifications, highlighting extracurriculars and quantifying work experience, and achievements will add more value.

You must aim for a GMAT score of 700 or higher, if you are targeting schools such as ISB and IIM Ahmedabad , Bangalore, and Chennai for their executive programs. If you have a passport, you can also include some international schools in your list of targets. Just remember to quantify your achievements, experiences, and skills throughout your application to make it more professional and impactful.

If you need more help, we'd be happy to setup a call and give more pointers on how to improve your profile and the right schools you should target.

Hey fundays242,

Let me begin by mentioning that your academic record is strong. A GPA of 8.5, and above, puts you in a good position to apply to prestigious schools for both deferred MBA and Master in Management (MiM) programs. However, one challenge you may face is the competition from applicants with more well-known institutions on their resumes. To stand out, it is important to focus on your internships. If possible, try to secure business internships or link any research internships you have done to the business of the company.

Additionally, it's essential to highlight any quantifiable achievements in your extracurricular activities, such as the number of attendees or participants in an event you organised. To further boost your profile, consider taking strategy and entrepreneurship courses on platforms like Udemy or Coursera.

In fact, your GMAT score of 780 is also a strong point in your application, and to maximise your chances of being accepted, I would recommend targeting both MBA and MiM programs at schools such as:

1. Stanford
2. Duke
3. Cornell
4. Michigan Ross
5. Kellogg

If you need more help, we'd be happy to setup a call and give more pointers on how to improve your profile and the right schools you should target.

Hello fundays242 hope this finds you well.

You have a strong academic record and a highly impressive GMAT score. However, an essential factor determining your success in the best MBA or MiM programs is your goals strategy and your short- and long-term plan. Use your internships and academic projects to figure out precisely what areas interest you the most. For young applicants applying to YLP, EEO, or deferred MBA programs, it's critical to be thoughtful and specific while demonstrating your understanding of the industry you want to be a part of. You must present your plan so that the admissions committees, especially at the top US deferred MBA programs, will be rooting for you to succeed. Otherwise, your application will fall flat.

If you need candid advice don't hesitate to get in touch with us.

Best wishes

dhruvsharma2117 hope this finds you well

You have an interesting profile, but you did not mention your post-MBA/post-PGP goals.

Given your solid background in manufacturing, you can demonstrate a deep understanding of the processes and systems involved in creating advanced products. This knowledge can be applied to many different fields, including supply chain design, product development, and strategic planning at small and large enterprises.

Another interesting theme I see in your profile description is the Solar power industry which requires a high level of expertise and experience. Not trying to assume your goals here, but growing further into strategy and operations roles in a green and clean energy industry might be a lucrative career opportunity that would align very well with your project management experience in this domain so far, not to mention the great industry positioning ISB has in this area.

Your ECs are equally impressive and unique, especially your interest in wildlife photography and documentation.

Feel free to reach out should you want to discuss an exceptional application strategy.

Best wishes

Hello dhruvsharma2117

The work profile and extracurricular are pretty strong- both show good potential for storytelling and add diversity.
However, two other equally important aspects seem to be missing here- GMAT/GRE score (will answer the academic potential) and Post MBA Career Goals (all the more important for diverse profiles such as yours to assess the fit with the school and to assess you as a leader with a clear vision of your career).

Hey swaftnishant,

So it sounds like you're a bit concerned about how your application will stack up against others since you graduated from a decent college and have 10 years of work experience. But don't worry, there are ways to make yourself stand out! For example, your high GPA and the fact that you were promoted multiple times in your previous job are both great accomplishments that show you're a hard worker. Additionally, highlighting specific projects you led and how they contributed to the growth of your company will be a strong point in your application.

It's also important to show that you have a genuine interest in Kellogg and how the program aligns with your goals. This can be done through your essays and awards, as well as by explaining why you want to pursue an MBA after already having a decade of work experience. Remember, the admissions committee wants to know why they should choose you over other applicants.

If you need more help, we'd be happy to setup a call and give more pointers on how to improve your profile and the right schools you should target.
