Hi Anshul1302 --

Have you taken the GMAT yet? The GMAT score is not the sole deciding factor in admissions decisions, but it is important to get that datapoint in helping to understand how competitive you might be at these different schools. ISB in particular is incredibly competition - well, all these schools are, actually, but your profile is exceedingly common for the ISB, just given how many others "like you" will be applying. So the GMAT score is one criteria that we can use to see if you'd be in the running.

First of all, you've made a great choice in deciding to apply to an MBA program. I did the same thing last year and attended an MBA program at Babson College. I learned a lot and found myself far more useful in my job. I was actually recently promoted and completely credit my success to Babson. Check the school out if you're interested. It is located in the heart of Boston and is very competitive, but if you are accepted, you will definitely be glad you applied.
