Profile Evaluation Please

by asheeshvarshneya » Mon Jul 09, 2012 12:59 pm
Need your opinion on chances of getting a interview call for ISB

My profile is:
10th - 86%
12th - 88.2%
Computer engineering with CGPA of 8.92.
Exp: Total experience of 3years 10months till April2013 in software development (companies like Adobe/Microsoft)
Got a GMAT score of 690 (5.0AWA).


Extra curricular:
Placement incharge during engineering for the entire batch
organized and managed college fests

What else do you feel i should improve in my profile to improve my chances of getting selected at ISB.
Do you think i should re-consider giving GMAT, (i m hoping to cross 710-720 mark based on my mock tests) or even 690 is sufficient and i should focus on essays??

Sir your advice will be much appreciated

Tough call here. 690 is relatively average for ISB (or low average... average GMAT being 710). Of course the GMAT isnt everything. Your work experience academic experience uniqueness, all count for a lot. But so does the GMAT.

Its really a tough call. Because 20-30 points CAN help you, but also you could get in with a 690. I would say it all hangs on how much better you think you can do, and with how much effort. If its to spend two months studying then retake to get the same score.... well you know, but if you are sure you can get 30 points higher, its probably worth it.
