Hi Raghavan,

You have impressive and diverse profile working as FICO consultant, your strength lies in solid work experience and you should target 700+ GMAT, having said that ISB will evaluate your overall profile, achievements at work place, career growth, team handling, leadership skills, extra curricular activities these all aspects are weighed and then they take decision whether you are eligible for interview call or not. So don't restrict yourself only for GMAT preparation along with that start focusing on your ISB application essays/recommendations and start doing minimum groundwork and brainstorming in framing your essays. I am sure that you have plenty of stories to write in your application essays but writing it convincingly within 300 words limit is a challenging task. So starting early is the key to success. Let me know if you have any questions...you can also PM your details for free profile evaluation.

I would shoot as high as possible because ISB weighs the GMAT heavily. Their average, I believe is a 711.

Good luck,

Hi Raghavan,

Since you bring in considerable experience with 5+ yrs of international experience a score of 680+ or so can help you crack ISB.

But candidates applying with 8+ yrs of experience have to be very clear in terms of post MBA goals and why they need MBA now. Make sure that you come up with a coherent story which goes well with what you have done in the past.

Connect with a ISB alumni with 8+ yrs of experience and they can guide you on what kind of roles are offered to senior profiles.

Feel free to contact is for any queries.
