Thanks in advance friends....

Dear Praveen,

I would say there not much to be done in terms of your profile evalutaion!.. I mean your profile is kind of a 100% fit to what the ISB Adcom would be looking to. All you got to do now is articulate all your achievments Academic, Professional, Personal in your essays and get a descent GMAT score.

Our only advice is to spend considerable time with your Essays and also other parts of your application. It would be good if you could start writing your Essays right away and spend time improvising them over the next three months. Please let us know for any queries. All the best!!

Best,
goISB team
