AsishkancherlaYou have a solid academic arc although the GPA could be better. Aim for a high GMAT percentile score. You have the potential to be a strong candidate for ISB with your cross-functional experience, upward growth trajectory, promotions, and community engagement initiatives, all in a short span. However, applicants with 2-3 years of experience often face the challenge of being perceived as young and inexperienced, which could affect their admission chances. You need to unpack your experiences and reconstruct your stories to demonstrate that working on business-oriented projects in your current organization has equipped you with hands-on experience, experiential maturity, and the ability to contextualize business problems specific to your area of work better than many profiles who apply with similar age and experience.
Admissions officers have a weakness for applicants who are, in the well-traveled term, "passionate" to pursue their dreams. It is only human to respond to enthusiasm. The schools will use the essays to make an indirect read on the quality of your mind and thought process. As a business analytics associate, do you think critically about the problems in your company or industry? Can you craft a compelling case that links your past, your goals, and ISB? What is your unique story?
Feel free to speak directly for a deeper discussion regarding your chances
