Hi KaumudiT,
With your age and experience bracket, a one-year program from ISB or other leading B-schools seems like a fantastic choice.
The plus points about your profile beside age/experience bracket is that you are coming from a non-traditional (read non-engineering) background. As B-schools seek to diversify their class profiles in order to provide a holistic experience to participants, your background may boost your chances.
Your scores are, however, rather average as they have not crossed the 80% mark. We would suggest to
work on your GMAT and boost it close to 720 or beyond. This can be your short-term goal while you carefully evaluate all aspects to present a holistic profile to the adcoms.
Your extra-curriculars look good. If you have an opportunity to gather extra-curriculars relevant to your post-MBA aspiration, do get that.
Good luck on your journey.
If you need detailed consultation or help with any phase of the journey, do
get in touch with us
hereCheers !

Hi - would really appreciate an analysis of my profile as well. Below is my profile - I am keen to look at marketing and/or strategy studies oriented MBA programmes. Need help with shortlisting colleges - my preference is towards 1 - year programmes like the one at ISB Hyderabad, but open to other programmes too. Thanks!
I am 26 years old female candidate and come from a communication and marketing background with work ex of 4 years. Graduated from University of Delhi with BA Hons in Journalism, where I studied several subjects like political science, economics, international relations, print, radio and TV journalism, and marketing and advertising, besides others.
From there on, got interested in marketing and studied at the Indian Institute of Mass Comm for a PG Diploma in Advertising and PR.
I have 4+ years of work experience, including a currently ongoing 2+ year stint at a leading international airline where I am responsible for consumer marketing portfolio.
Here are my scores:
10th Std - 85.4%
12th Std (Science) - 77%
Graduation - 75.25%
PG Diploma - 72.05%
GMAT (expected, yet to take the exam) - 690-710
I was awarded the Public Relations Society of India (PRSI) Award in 2016; and was nominated by my firm for a 30 Under 30 Industry Award. I have worked with a Delhi based NGO working in the space of emotional education of children for about 1-1.5 years. I also have a lot of internships at college level with organizations like Indian Express and BBDO (ad agency). During my graduation and the PG Diploma, I have worked on several live projects like documentary film-making, authoring original dissertations and seminar papers, radio programmes, ad film-making, and an award-winning capstone project for a leading Indian Home Care brand.
