Question

Hi Guys

I have given GMAT and scored a 620 (Q47 V28 IR6).

Since I have crossed the minimum required score for ISB (The only school i plan to apply), I want to give a shot to R1 rounds. I needed your feedback on the following:

1) If this would be right thing to do. Would this score be even considered even though the website says that minimum required is 600
2) What are the chances with such a score to get through
3) Any other good schools to look for with this score
4) How should the ISB application be, as in what is it that they look for in a competing application if score is not up to the mark
5) Any assistance on application from anyone who is applying to ISB this year/anyone who would want to share his/her experience and feedback, would be happy to receive

Thanks
Angel

Thanks Angel

Dear Angel, I'm happy to respond. :-)

Congratulations on a solid GMAT score! My friend, you need to understand my expertise. By trade, I am a GMAT expert. I can tell you tons about the test, how to study, what's going on in different Q or V questions, etc. I can tell you all about the GMAT. BUT, I am not an admission consultant. Frankly, I don't even know what ISB is. I certainly can tell you nothing about what they expect or how you should package yourself for them. I highly recommend finding a high quality admission consultant who can give you the advice you need. I wish you the very best of good luck in your admissions process! Mike :-)

Thanks for sharing your profile. Your GMAT score does in fact make the cut for the minimum score but as you are just slightly above the minimum so you will need to make a strong case for admission. Really focus on clearly articulating your interest in the program and how it allows you to reach your development goals. Showing fit and how this is the ideal time for you to apply will help improve your chances at ISB given your score.

Hope this helps!

Angel, Without knowing too much about your profile, I can only base this on a raw GMAT score - which is not advisable

But based on your GMAT score, your chances at ISB don't appear very bright. You could look at the tier 2 schools in India, or schools ranked between 70 and 100 in the US. If you want more help, please talk to us by scheduling an appointment at the link below. Regards, Karthik

Hi Angel,

With 620 GMAT Score it is very difficult to get into ISB. To get through ISB, I would recommend you to target atleast 680+ GMAT Score. You haven't mentioned about your academics and work experience. Please share your profile so that we can let you know your chances of getting admit to other B-Schools with your current GMAT Score. You can also PM your profile.
