Hi,

Please evaluate my profile for ISB:

Education:
Chartered Accountant - completed in 2009
Level 1 CFA
B.Com - 89%(Gold medalist)
Std 12 - 88%
Std 10 - 91%

Work Experience:
- Assistant Manager in a Big 4 firm in their audits division.
- Started internship in this firm in 2006 and continued with them after qualification - Post qualification work experience is 3.3 years.
- Play the role of team lead and the team size ranges from 3-10.
- A trained instructor and have instructed in training sessions in office

Extra Curricular Activities:
- Trained classical dancer - 10+ years of training
- given solo performances and won dance competitions in school and college. Still continue to learn many different styles of dance.

GMAT Score(this is the part I am worried about)- 660

I would like to know what my chances are with this score and whether I should seriously consider retaking the test.It might be tough to improve the score given the limited time and work pressure,so that is my last option. Or are there any other one year MBA programs which I can look at where I will stand a better chance?My long term goal is to get into Investment banking.

Thanks in Advance.

When we were reading your post we were like...gold medalist..great....great..classical dance...wow..but then 660...ahh..

ISB gives importance to GMAT score. So, we would recommend retaking and improving.

Though ISB is not a great option for Ibanking. Very few IBanks come to ISB. Better options are NUS, HKUST, Said and Cambridge Judge if you are targeting shorter duration MBA programs.
