Hey @ananyav
Let’s start! You have a good academic foundation. However, your GMAT Focus Edition score of 595 is lower than the typical range for top MBA programs, where the average GMAT score usually ranges from 680-730. Retaking the GMAT and aiming for a score above 700 would significantly improve your chances of getting into more competitive programs.
Your work experience of 2 years at Deloitte Consulting as an Analyst is valuable, but it’s on the shorter side compared to ISB’s average work experience. You shall focus on highlighting your leadership and impact on projects at Deloitte, and emphasize the experience mentoring your team to showcase leadership potential. Try to gain more exposure to client management or high-visibility projects if possible before applying, to make your experience stand out.
Your involvement with Bhumi NGO is a great addition to your profile, as top business schools value community engagement and leadership. Consider expanding it, by discussing specific projects, outcomes, or personal initiatives within the NGO to demonstrate a deeper impact.
These improvements can make your profile more competitive for Round 2 or next year applications, especially if you’re aiming for top-tier business schools. If you’d like, we are
happy to hop on a call sometime this week to discuss your work experience, career goals, and chances to ISB and some other B- schools in detail.
