Dear
AiswaryaMishra,
Yours is an interesting and unique profile, especially given that you are aiming to pursue a third master’s degree and a second MBA. Your motivations for doing so will need to come out clearly in the application essays, along with clear thoughts on how you see the ISB PGP contributing to your career journey.
Your academic performance has been good, and your background—graduating in Social Sciences and then pursuing a master’s in Development Studies—
adds a distinctive and diverse angle to your profile, especially when compared to other applicants. Similarly, your
experience in social development consulting prior to your MBA brings in
valuable diversity, setting you apart from the majority of applicants who often come from IT or technical roles.
Your
post MBA work experience also has notable highlights, especially your consistent top-tier performance, demonstrated through the
three awards you have received over the past three years. This reflects not just strong delivery but also
sustained excellence in a niche and growing field like Sustainability.
All combined, we believe you have a really strong and differentiated profile with great potential. The one area where we hope to see improvement is your GMAT Focus score, which currently appears to be the only weak link in an otherwise impressive application.
Any score above 655 would significantly strengthen your case and place you in a very competitive spot.
