Hi Snehal, It looks like a start to a solid profile; not GMAT yet correct? While everything looks respectable in terms of academics and work experience at a glance, it may not be 'enough' per se given how competitive ISB is, so aim for an above-their-average GMAT and highlight exceptional experiences at work where you went above and beyond what was expected of you, and highlight important personal traits and stories where you can, as well as any community/NGO involvements. Finally, ensure your post-MBA goals are realistic and ambitious, and that you show why ISB is a good fit for you. International experiences can also be a plus, depending upon how much US or other exposure you gained. Good luck to you!

A lot seems to be working for you on both the academic and professional fronts. However, frankly, at this point, a lot depends on your GMAT score. You must definitely be aiming for something upwards of 720, of course, the higher the better. Besides, you also need to work on preparing a set of essays, wherein there is a sync between your existing experience and goals, and which adequately represent your competencies and skills.
Besides the above, we also recommend that you focus on building your profile - keep performing in your existing role; get some leadership experience in the social sector; try acquiring some international exposure

Hi All, I am planning to apply for ISB in R1. I took GMAT last month and got 666(Q-49,V-31,IR-7,AWA-5.5.). I am working in a maharatna PSU and have job ex of around 11.5 yrs. I passed from IIT Dhanbad with B.Tech(Mining Engg.) with 8.4 CGPA. I have diversified job experience though in the same company. Marks in Matriculation (88%), 12th (76 %) from State Board. A NTSE Scholar and also few cetrificate of merit/appreciation during the job period.
On the basis of above information, what are odds in favour of getting into R1? Sould I reattempt GMAT?
1. With average acads you will need to convince the AdCom that you can manage the academic rigors of the program. No rocket science here- the best way is to score 710/720+ GMAT at least. 2. You have just mentioned 3 years with Honda. What role or profile? How has your career progression been? What have been you achievements? Looking at the only stat you have given (3 years) the AdCom would be curious to know how and why are you ready to do an MBA NOW? (apart from the other usual suspect questions) 3. Some of the extracurricular are not relevant. But many look interesting, namely NGO, Startup, German Language, Blogging etc. But these are just bullet points. The real question is what have you built, learned and achieved in these?
Not much information to shed more light. If you are interested in a detailed profile review- PM me.
All the best.

vivek_singh330 First impression is well.. impressive 1. You seem to have great extracurricular experience- make sure you portray this as strong Leadership potential- something the AdCom will be looking for. 2. Not very sure on the work experience front. Maybe I'm not reading this right, but need to understand your company, role and accomplishments better. WIth 4.5 years of work ex (at the time of admission) you just need convincing answer to the most usual MBA questions (Why MBA, Why Now, Why ISB, Why You) 3. On paper acads does look average, but as mentioned you are confident of getting a 720+. That is good. 4. Your overall profile looks strong. Captain Obvious says- as long as you achieve get your targeted GMAT and you have decent essays you are very likely to get the interview call. After that it is your game to lose.
All the best for your GMAT.

Your profile will stand out because of your PSU work ex. But for everything else AdCom will have a lot of questions- 1. Can you handle the intense academic pressure of the course especially after almost 12 years in the industry? Only your GMAT can prove that. I'm not sure how you arrived at a score of 666 (GMAT is always a multiple of 10). My suggestion would be to re-take the GMAT with a target of 700+. 2. Why MBA after 12 years? You need a strong reason for that. What are your goals. Your goals should be realistic for ISB to have confidence to admit you. This is going to be a big question for you. 3. It is strange with such a rich experience you have not mentioned anything about your work accomplishments and what have you done in over a decade. You need to shift your own focus to work related achievements.
Unfortunately, very less information has been provided to give a all round feedback, but I can give you some pointers to help get started.
All the best.

So I am ready to attempt the GMAT again. I know I know but with empowerGMAT and GMATClub I am sure I will get my target score. https://empowergmat.com/...
You’re excited to move back to your home country, after living abroad for ten years. Not every decision or act is intended to be an act of rebellion. But...
In general, I suggest submitting the application online because rumor has it that paper-based takes much longer time since the officer-in-charge will have to encode your application manually. ...
