Hi
Dileep346,
Thank you for sharing your profile for review. We hope you are keeping safe as well.
Here is our brief evaluation of your profile and a few things you can do to strengthen business school applications.
GMATYour GMAT score of 740 is 30 points above the class average, so you are off to a great start.
GPAIt is hard to tell whether a 76% GPA would work in your favor or against, with the given information. It would be helpful to know the undergraduate class size and rank. However, I guess that with a 76% GPA and 740 GMAT, academics should not be a concern for the admission committee. Please be mindful that the Admissions Committee will also look at your transcript in detail and compare it with other Indian applicants with similar academic backgrounds.
Work Experience and Accomplishments
ISB class of 2020 had an average work experience of 4.3 years. You will have four years of work experience when you join ISB; therefore, you are applying at just the right time.
Your accomplishments in helping corporations migrate to the cloud in conjunction with the awards help show your impact.
Also, show an upward career trajectory in your resume and demonstrate impact in both, qualitative and quantitative terms.
Leadership experience
Your experience of leading a team of 20 so early in your career helps your story stand out. The leadership and the training you provided are prime candidates for essay 1.
GoalsWe are not clear about what your post-MBA goals are; both, short-term and long-term. Business schools are interested in understanding your career paths in the context of your prior work experience. And how their school can help you achieve your personal and professional goals.
Do take some time to reflect deeply on what experiences have shaped you so far and how you would like to build your career in the future.
ChallengeAccenture has carved a niche for itself in the cloud space. You will need to work to differentiate yourself from other candidates with similar experiences. You should leverage your leadership experience and awards to differentiate yourself from your peers. Further, you can highlight specific projects where you had unique contributions and how they benefitted your team, the organization, and your clients.
RecommendationDig deep to show leadership skills in the essays. Your analytical skills should be evident from the application section on work experience and GMAT score. Take on extracurricular activities to establish a holistic profile.
