Also my extra-curricular activities are very good. I have represented Natuional level competitions and a sports person right from school age. I love dancing and havecompleted my arrangetram also.

Thank you for your question.

My understanding is that ISB is particularly interested in very concrete, quantifiable accomplishments, and with your background it will be important to differentiate yourself from the other applicants in order to get accepted as well. While you did clear the arrears, so your college performance should not be viewed negatively, I think it would be helpful for you to focus very hard on the GMAT and try to score at the upper end of ISB's 80% range, or higher. Certainly above their mean.

Good luck!

"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."
