Hi
Ari269Thanks for sharing your profile.
Your acads so far are decent with 10+2 above average. Given you are studying in a top college in India is a strong cv point.
Having CFA Level 1 with top grades is a huge plus point. Further, with your engagement(s) in extra curricular and co-curricular activities form a good profile to showcase your learning(s) from each of these experience(s) and how these experiences have helped you grow as an individual, management skills.
You have a very decent chance to get in given you can tie in as to how ISB YLP in your career path will help to achieve your post MBA goals. Since, you are CFA L1, I assume that you have an inclination towards finance domain.
As far as GMAT/GRE score is concerned, the higher the better
any score 720+ in GMAT and 320+ in GRE is a good to go score for you.
Focus on GMAT and on building your resume. What you do in those 2 years of work exp before the class at ISB also holds importance and if you have a clarity on that as well...nothing better than that.
Please feel free to reach out for any additional queries.
All the Best !
