Hi @abhii30,

Your profile looks solid overall, with strong academics—your 9 CGPA definitely adds value. The key will be how you present your career trajectory, including the nature of your roles and the impact of the projects you’ve worked on. Your chances will largely depend on how effectively you connect your pre-MBA experience with your post-MBA goals.

For a competitive shot at ISB, aim for a GMAT Focus score of 675 or higher, which aligns with the program’s average.

All the Best!

Happy to connect if you’d like to discuss your profile in more detail.

This is actually a nice, well-rounded profile to start with. You have done a lot of things right already, so you are in a good place.

- On the GMAT, do not lock yourself into a target score. Prepare with the mindset of pushing for the 99th percentile. When you aim that high, you usually end up hitting your personal best anyway.

- For work experience, your role is fine. What will really matter is how clearly you show your impact. Focus on the problems you’ve solved, what changed because of your work, and both qualitative and quantitative impact. The promotion is a strong positive, so make sure you can explain what led to it.

- Your extracurriculars are good and show consistency. One thing you can do now is add some recent involvement as well. It could be community work, mentoring, or even team-building initiatives at work. Having something current alongside past achievements always strengthens the profile.

We encourage you to inquire with us so we can schedule a free strategy session for guiding you.

Thanks and all the best!
