Hi there,
Short Answer :
You have everything going good for you except the GMAT score and since you still have time till your applications, we will strongly recommend you to retake your GMAT. You will be surprised at the number of entrepreneurs applying to ISB, therefore it is a very competitive pool as well.
Long Answer :
The number of applicants from entrepreneurial background has skyrocketed in the last couple of years, therefore it is a competitive pool as well. You have mentioned a sub-600 GMAT score. This is at the lower end of the range and such scores generally are of exceptional candidates with a truly remarkable profile. An Indian running a startup in India may not fall in that category. To give you a perspective; in the batch of one of our co-founders, the candidate who had a sub-600 score came from an international defense science and technology background. Your best bet would thus be to substantially improve your GMAT score in the next 4-5 months.
Your entrepreneurial experience is a double edged sword. ISB simply loves entrepreneurs and is extremely helpful towards alums who want to pursue this journey and therefore is kinder towards applicants from this category as well. However the number of applicants with some sort of entrepreneurial experience has risen exponentially, plus ISB admission committee is known to grill applicants with entrepreneurial experience or dreams as they want to know how well they have thought through their business ideas and how much growth their startup has achieved till date.
Our recommendation :
1) Ace your GMAT : Aim for a 680+ score
2) Consolidate your profile : Get clarity on your career goals on why you want to pursue an MBA (Why make a heavy investment when you are already running a successful startup)
We will be happy to take the conversation forward through PM / Email
Kind Regards,

Hi Bharath,
Though you might technically qualify for EEO, we don't think that is the best strategy to go with. You have a post graduation degree and may not qualify as a 'young professional with less than 24 months of experience' at least in the spirit of it and we can safely assume the admission committee will think the same.
You have graduated in 2014 and already have 22 month of experience and will graduate from your current MBA in 2018. Now we will assume that after you graduate from your MBA in 2018, you will again start working till April 2019 and if you don't work that's a big red flag in your profile.
We would also like to add that Real Estate may not be a differentiation factor as ISB has a lot of applicants from this sector. The important thing will therefore be to highlight your winning stories from your WS Atkins days.
Our recommendation :
1) Re-evaluate your EEO option : We think you may not be able to justify your application in EEO. Even if you scrape through and get a interview call , the admission committee will have strong reservations about considering you for EEO
2) GMAT Score : 700+ score is the mean score for ISB and therefore that's the minimum you need to aim at.
We will be happy to take the conversation forward through PM / Email
Kind Regards,

Hi there,
Ace your GMAT. You seem to have good prior academics and therefore GMAT is something you can do very well at. All the best ! Now though technology consulting is a common profile, your client facing experience with PwC would stand you in very good stead.
We would definitely need to work on bringing the best stories to the forefront that can make your profile stand out. Your ECs look good, keep them up to date. Don't lose track of those as only consistent ECs can make a difference to the application.
Our recommendation :
1) Consolidate your profile : Promotion within 25 months is good. Focus on doing key modules of the project. If possible lead some modules which will give a significant boost to your profile as leadership is something we don't see in the profile till now..
2) GMAT Score : Aim for 720+ score . It will give you a real good shot at top schools
We will be happy to take the conversation forward through PM / Email
Kind Regards,
Team Taterways
