Hi Folks,
I need suggestions on applying for the R3 of ISB applications. I have given my GMAT Focus yesterday, received a score of 645 (89 percentile). and contemplating on applying.
I am 25M with a 9.8 grade in X, 98% in XII, 8.4 GPA in B.Tech (IIT Delhi), and have a professional experience of 2 years in Management consulting and 6 months in Construction management. Post schooling, the only other non-academic/non-professional experience I have is in social service with 1 year of NSS and 1 year with an NGO.

Applying to ISB R3 with a 645 GMAT (89th percentile) is certainly possible, but requires careful consideration of both strengths and weaknesses in your profile. Here's a breakdown to help you decide:
Strengths:
Academics: Excellent academic record throughout, from X to B.Tech (IIT Delhi). This is a major plus point for ISB admissions.
Work experience: 2.5 years of experience across diverse sectors like management consulting and construction management demonstrate initiative and flexibility.
Social service: NSS and NGO involvement show commitment to social impact, aligning with ISB's values.
Weaknesses:
GMAT score: While 645 is a decent score, it falls slightly below the average for ISB admits (around 680-700). Your Indian background might help balance this out to some extent.
Career transition: Switching from management consulting to construction management raises questions about career goals and long-term vision.
Decision and next steps:
Apply if: You have a compelling story to explain your career transition and a clear vision for how an MBA from ISB fits into your long-term goals. Highlight accomplishments and learnings from both consulting and construction management to showcase transferable skills.
Before applying:
Consider retaking the GMAT if you believe you can score significantly higher (ideally above 680) to strengthen your application.
Work on crafting compelling essays that showcase your unique story, career transition rationale, and post-MBA goals. Focus on demonstrating leadership potential, impact through social service, and how ISB will help you achieve your aspirations.
Seek strong recommendations from professionals who can speak to your skills and potential.
Network with current ISB students and alumni to gain insights into the program and admissions process.
