Hello Jon,
Yo..! Thanks a lot for your reply.
I'm aiming for ISB's YLP. It's meant for under graduates who are in their pre final year. It guarantees a seat for the candidate after two years of work experience. It's similar to HBS 2+2 program and Yale silver scholars program. I'll be applying for that by this March, 2014. If I get selected now, my future is made..! I'm primarily applying only to ISB. They are targeting students who are highly determined.
They want people with specific goals. When the interview panel asks me why MBA. How do I tell them that I have always been inspired by women leaders. In the nation where most of the leaders and decision makers are men, seeing a women amongst them have always made my day. I see myself as a leader managing a group of people or one taking important and bold decisions in a company. Only a management degree can help me to convert my dreams into reality.
This reason might look very silly for them. I just wanted to know how effectively do I get this across to the panel who have interviewed people with specific goals. How do I give them a solid reply out of this.
Might look funny, but I have been thinking a lot over this and would love to know your review Jon.

Hey there,
Somehow I missed that line in your note about YLP. (it was such a small line). Oops.
So let me hit reboot, and REALLY answer your question this time.
1. It's still pretty hard to evaluate you without a GMAT. Esp. since all applicants have very little experience. But let's say that with a 710+ it becomes possible.
2. Your goals are not yet specific enough. I would suggest selecting a) a specific industry and b) even a specific post. So, an MNC... but what? luxury retail? Hardware? Chemicals? energy? etc. etc. And what kind of post do you want? It should fit both your skills and dreams.
3. People who I have seen be successful at YLP and similar program have a) good strong internships b) lots of very strong extra curriculars. I haven't seen either in your profile. Do you have anything else that is missing here?
Voila! much better, methinks.
