Hi,
I appeared for GMAT today and got 660. I am shocked...anyways, let me tell you my profile. I am 27 with 5+ yrs of IT experience(india+US).
Does anyone know whether i have chance at ISB india ??
I am planning to apply for 2009 batch?

IMO a score of 660 would be on the lower side for IT profile. However much depends on the application package you create and the quality of the work experience you bring to the table. If possible, you can retake the exam. You have lot of time I guess.

the thing about ISB is.. it has way too many applicants..

all the iim rejects or iim asipirants and those who didnt get into a top 30 b school abroad apply here.. and i mean thousands and thousands in india.

but with a 660 i think u can get into some decent american schools..

why not try that..

my cousin went to isb with a 720.. a former chartered accountant.. she said it was a good program..

but check out some top 30 u.s. schools for sure. isb is aight. its good for indian standards.

Thanks for the response.
Actually i want to go for 1 yr mba or executive mba. is there any top 30 us colleges have one yr mba?? i think my experience is not enough for executive mba though.
