You actually have a pretty differentiated profile. McGill + scholarship + Canada work exposure + sustainability consulting already makes you stand out from the usual applicant pool.
The music background and disability support work also make you feel more “human” on paper, which helps more than people think.
Your biggest challenge is probably not the profile, it’s positioning. With ~9 years experience, schools will want clarity on why MBA now and what role you want after it.
For Indian School of Business and top Indian Institutes of Management, try getting around 685+ FE if possible. A strong score will balance things nicely.
Also don’t over-explain the career break. COVID + relocation is completely understandable.
Overall, this is not a “cookie cutter engineer” profile at all. If you tell the story well, you’ll definitely be competitive.

Hi Ipsy22,
You have a pretty strong profile for ISB and the top 1-year MBA programs at the IIMs. Your education from McGill University along with international exposure definitely adds value, and your academics are solid overall. Having brands like KPMG and Deloitte on your resume is another positive.
You should now spend some time refining your post-MBA goals. Sustainability consulting looks like a natural continuation of your profile, although there could be other good pathways as well. A major part of your application strength will depend on your narrative — how clearly you connect your past experiences with your future goals.
A GMAT FE score around 675 should be a good target for ISB, while around 645 would keep you competitive for IIMA PGPX, IIMB EPGP, and IIMC MBAEx.
All the Best!
