Ruchi,

I think you have an excellent shot in that your grades are strong and your GMAT score is only slightly below the average GMAT at ISB of a 711. If you were scoring higher on your practice exams you might consider retaking the test as even only a 20 point improvement moves your percentage substantially as your GMAT would then be above the average.

Good luck and have a great weekend,

Ruchi,

I have a slightly different take on this. Even if you hypothetically had a 720 GMAT, it may not make a huge difference in my opinion. The point that you have to think deep on is - how will you differentiate from those (maybe from your own company) with say 1-3 years more experience than you in the same domain? If you can answer that well AND show a logical post-MBA goal, then the story may hold. Moreover, given the time, a re-take may not be feasible? So make sure you decide wisely

Cheers,

Ruchi,

It is good to have different perspectives. ISB's Class of 2015 had a Mean GMAT of 711 and Average Work Experience of 5 Years with a Mid 80% Range of 2.8 - 7.5.

So, with your 3.2 years experience you still have sufficient work experience and considering you have been the youngest team lead, I think you can show sufficient maturity for your age and differentiation from those applicants with a little more experience. Also, the figure is reported upon matriculation so your 3.2 years experience might be more.

As long as you prepare a quality application, if you are not admitted because of less experience, you can always reapply in the future without lessening your chances.

Have a great weekend,

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
