Extracurriculars- I have represented my college cricket team and the swimming team in various inter college events. Took active participation in various cultural events in the college. Post MBA goals- To Work as a healthcare consultant and eventually start a chain of clinics, few years down the line. I would like to know my chances and I am in my early 30’s. Will my age be a hinderance in getting an admit in ISB?
Hello! Thanks for sharing your profile and your efforts in the healthcare space. Your profile is diverse and every year there are a few doctors which make it to ISB. Most of them are on the other side of 30 and the school understands that. Hence, there should be no issue wrt age. I had a ~40-year-old doctor in my class and last year, there was someone who was 50. One of the criteria which adcom looks at is the practicality of your goals and whether they’re achievable. In fact, an alum from class of 2012, Karamveer Gambhir did something similar with Karma Primary Healthcare. Other option for you could be as a GM for a chain of hospitals. Couple of fellow alums are heading Apollo in Ahmedabad and Columbia Asia in Bangalore. Can put you in touch with them if you want as you work on the profile. Let me know in case of further questions. All the best!
