Hi Aman,

I'll be honest, I really don't much about the two PGPX programs. I do know that ISB is quite competitive. Your work experience seems strong, in particular your overseas experience, and I like your extracurricular involvement too. One question I'm not sure of is leadership potential which is something ISB looks for quite carefully. And then my biggest concern is your GMAT...620 is going to be quite below ISB's average of ~700. I'm not saying it's out of reach, but it could just mean that it's going to be tough and you'll need to make sure you're highlighting other strong qualities like those I mentioned above.

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."
