Hi Aditya,

You can compensate your low academics by scoring high in GMAT. You should target 720+ score in GMAT. ISB evaluates applicants mainly on three aspects - leadership ability, diversity of profile, Academic/analytical ability. So focus on these and build your profile. ISB application will be live by May so before that try to complete your GMAT part so that once the application is live you can mainly concentrate on application front and come up with strong application. Hope this helps., you can also visit us for detailed profile evaluation.

Hi Aditya,

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but you have a few things going against you for ISB. Your undergrad score isn't fantastic, so yes, you'll need to do rather well on your GMAT - 720-740 will allow you to stand out. Another negative is your little work experience as well as the quality of the experience itself. As a Test Engineer, what have you led? What has your career progression been like? What significant results have you achieved? If you're struggling with any or all of these questions, you may consider waiting another year or two to enrich your experience and look for opportunities to flesh these out. Also, don't overlook the extracurricular involvement - this paints the picture of who you are and what you love to do. Hope this information helps. Best of luck with your application!

Hi Aditya,

A business school looks at various factors like UG Standing, GMAT score, quantity and quality of work experience, ECA's as well as career progression. If you feel your UG % is low in terms of standing as compared to other students etc you can compensate it to a certain extent with your GMAT score.

"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."
