I have done my graduation in commerce this year. I have a consistently very poor academic record, >60% thru out it. I have never focussed on studies. But now i have a sense of responsibility. So, can you tell me, do i hold any chance of getting into ISB or its equivalent B-school by scoring high in GMAT (be it 750+)? And if YES, then what else should i do now to overcome poor academic record?

Hi,

To be competitive at ISB, you'd need to gain full time work experience, demonstrate leadership capacity, and score well on GMAT. Even then, it's unclear whether you could overcome your low GPA. You can also try creating an "alternate transcript" by taking some supplentary business courses (accounting, finance, etc.) and scoring well in them.

Hope this helps,
Mili
