Ask an MBA Admissions Consultant

Are you a student with an outstanding academic track record and a stupendous extra-curricular profile? Then, you are an ideal fit for the ISB YLP program. Young Leadership Program offered by ISB is a one of its kind program which allows students who are pursuing their graduation and post-graduation to be a part of a prolific business management program while they actively pursue their full-time careers. Eventually, these candidates from the YLP will be admitted into the ISB's flagship PGPM (Post Graduate Program in Management).

Candidates from all streams and academic backgrounds can apply for the YLP program. The application process for YLP is extensive and has various steps.

Let's look at how to crack each level of the admission process:
Essay:

Essays are a great opportunity for the B-school to get an in-depth knowledge about you. The Essay topics are also generally focused on your past achievements and experiences. To write these essays you need to dig deeper into your life and introspect about your strengths and weaknesses. Few things that you need to keep in mind while writing your essays are as following:

Your essay should be a reflection of your personality. Don't deviate too much from who you are.
Jot down all your achievements and shortlist the ones you want to put in the essay.
Don't leave out important points about your experience in the essay.
Proofread the essay several times before you submit. You can also seek professional help for this.
Academic and Personal Profile:
This is more or less a Curriculum Vitae, similar to the one you make for a job application. ISB requires you to submit a one page CV. What you choose to keep on the CV is vital because the one-page constraint confines your scope of listing all your achievements and experiences. There are few things you need to remember while preparing your CV:

Divide your profile into different sections such as academic background, academic achievements, extracurricular achievements, Internships or work experience, Research or Projects. You can alter these sections according to your profile.
Prioritize the recent achievements over older ones because the impact of recent achievements is greater.
Carefully select the points to be mentioned in the CV as one page will not give you enough space to write about all your achievements.
