Hi  Optimus07 ,

Hi Krishna.

You should apply to PGP YL.

While your GMAT score is the highlight, I don't see a lot of areas of leadership / people management - probably you can Zoom Into your roles at the Finnace club.

Do note that ISB will look at your profile from all 3 lenses - Academic, Professional as well as Cultural.

Feel free to reach out in case you seek help with drafting your app.

Hi  Optimus07 ,

With your existing GMAT score, experience with PwC, as well as the CFA Level 1 qualification, you have some strong talking points. So, with a set of well written essays that suitably articulate your strengths, you have a strong chance of gaining an interview call.

You should most definitely apply.

All the best!
