Hello, I am applying for R2 in ISB and would be grateful for your thoughts on my profile
Current industry - Human Resources

GMAT - I am currently planning to write GMAT end of November. As of now my mocks have given me a score of 650 +/- 10. I am aiming to improve by at least 30-40 points.
1. Total - 4.5 years of experience into Recruitment and few short stints (stretch opportunities) with other functions of HR
2. Currently working at McKinsey, previously worked Credit Suisse. Expecting a promotion this year.
3. Not many extra-curricular activities- won some literary competitions, some runner ups for Street Play and Singing competitions.
4. Led the entire Humanities department as the secretary in Undergrad for one year.
5. Undergrad and Postgrad are from Tier 2 institutions, and my major subject was Psychology.
6. Undergrad GPA was 76.5% which is 5/5 GPA, first class with distinction and postgrad - 3.43/4, just first class.
Happy to provide any other information needed.

Hello gmatstuff123,
Thanks for writing in.
Your background in Psychology will add diversity to your profile and your work experience with McKinsey and Credit Suisse will prove to be extremely advantageous. The extra-curricular activities do appear thin and we will just have to make the most of what we have at the moment.
At this point, your sole focus should be on your GMAT; try taking the same a bit earlier so you have some time to work on your application (as the ISB application is a rather detailed one). A GMAT score in excess of 710 along with a set of essays that are reflective of your diversity, strengths, and logical career goals will give you a good chance of receiving an interview call.
Please also watch the following video:
Should you wish to discuss your prospects in greater detail, please feel free to get in touch for a profile evaluation session.
All the best!

Hi am looking to apply to ISB in Round 2 and would really appreciate some inputs on my profile
Background and nationality: Indian, age 29
Undergrad: Bachelor of Engineering in Electronics and Telecomm Engineering from a top public university in India (Nationally, ranked 10th in engineering)
GPA (3.33/4)
GRE (323 160 Q, 163 V) I underperformed on the day and am planning a retake.
Looking to join an MBA program in August 2024
Already applied to: Emory Goizueta, Georgetown McDonough, Cambridge Judge
Other Shortlisted Schools: Oxford Said, Cornell Johnson, Dartmouth Tuck, NYU Stern, UNC Kenan Flagler
Work Experience and Leadership (~6.5 yrs at time of joining program):
3 years at a major digital marketing agency where I was part of a founding team that helped set up a service delivery centre in India for the agency. Led a significant amount of knowledge transfer from international teams to set up the practice. Led discovery sessions and requirements gathering for every new client the Indian business unit onboarded for the marketing platforms practice for the first six months. Onboarded roughly 15 accounts in total over this period and trained 70+ new joiners. Worked directly with business unit head in talent acquisition- screening, managing job posts, ATS, and vendors (job portals, hiring agencies). Headcount grew from 4 to 200 in 6 months, interviewed hundreds of candidates and filled 80+ open positions. Led several client accounts with demonstrated impact on business KPIs like engagement, conversions and CAC
Close to 3 years at Goldman Sachs working in the Asset Management marketing team. Led go-to-market activities on digital channels for 7 ETFs, managed performance marketing campaigns targeted at fund distributors, institutional investors and family offices that led to gross sales of over $476 mn, led post-merger integration workstreams for platform integrations, rebranding, website reskinning, rebranding of over 370 funds. I also lead the SEO function within Asset Management Marketing.
Lead the mentorship program for the entire Asset Management marketing team under direct supervision of the Asset Management CMO.
Led 3 person team to regional finals of Analyst Impact Fund, where teams identify nonprofits that are tackling global challenges and pitch innovative solutions to the firm’s leadership.
After junior year in college interned at an Indian NGO called Goonj where I did fieldwork in rural India, directly mobilizing 150 individuals for rural development projects such as canal digging, shed construction, cultivating a school kitchen garden. Built a lead list for fundraising. Organized collection camps that raised over 1 metric tonne of material and $24,000 in monetary contributions. Worked directly with organization leadership to launch a range of upcylced products to monetize surplus material by producing and marketing a range of upcycled sustainable lifestyle products (bags, accessories). Set up kiosks at collection drives, earned $1200 gross sales in pilot.
Post MBA goals: Long term is to set up a PE firm focused on deploying growth equity in India. Short term is to transition from Asset Management marketing to a more core finance role in IB, preferably in FSG an group.
Anything else?
