Dear
ahahbsbbsho,
You need to aim for a score in excess of 645 GMAT FE to get a good shot.
However, do note that since PGP-YL is a completely new program that ISB has launched and there is no prior baseline, the above mentioned number is speculative.
As far as essays, are concerned your focus areas should be the following:
- How you intend to add tangible / intangible value to the cohort in terms of P2P learning
- Why do you want to do a MBA now after just 17 M of Experience - what is your trigger / motivation factor?
- Clear cut stories to demonstrate your leadership potential.
- What do you intend to do post MBA and what transferrable skillsets will you leverage from Accenture experience and CA + CFA certifications. Do note that certifications as good as how you demonstrate how you have practically applied learning from those certifications at work / or how you intend to do so in future.
I am an ISB alum, CO15, and have been guiding applicants for the last 8+ years. Feel free to reach out if you seek any assistance.
Cheers and all the very best !
