Pace4Down - interesting profile overall. Some more details can help assess better:

  • Is your undergrad university a feeder to ISB?
  • On the professional front - nature of your roles, any key projects etc.? Any promotions so far?
  • Any extracurriculars that you've been involved in post undergrad?
  • What are your directional career goals post-MBA?

Since you've not mentioned GMAT/ GRE score, I'm assuming you're looking for a reasonable target: ISB's average last year was 675-685 (GMAT) / 327-328 (GRE);

1) Yes, quite a few ISB alumni from my college. My UG college is Manipal Institute of Technology, Manipal.
2) It is Cyber Security Consulting to be precise. I have worked on key Indian clients and as mentioned Thai, and Singapore based clients as well. Have got PPO as an Intern and 2 promotions.
3) I have done social work with government school students, and still play corporate cricket, we recently won a trophy.
4) An MBA will equip me with the strategic thinking, financial literacy, and leadership skills necessary to evolve from a technical contributor to a cybersecurity strategist. I aim to work in roles such as Security Product Manager, or Cybersecurity Strategy Lead, and eventually the CIO or CISO where I can influence policy, manage cross-functional teams, and align security frameworks with broader business goals.

Hi Pace4Down,

You have a strong and balanced profile for ISB. With 3.5 years in Consulting at a Big 4, along with a PPO, two promotions, and international exposure (Thailand, Singapore), your professional experience stands out. Academically, your performance and pedigree from Manipal Institute of Technology is definitely a plus.

Your rich extracurriculars reflect initiative, leadership, and versatility, all of which will work in your favor. A GMAT score of 695+ keeps you competitive. You may also find this video insightful: Watch here
