Siva,
Your profile looks good in terms of acads and extra curriculars. Not doing UG from a reputed college and no international work ex might not have a great negative impact on your application (strictly my take).

If you are looking to improving your profile, you might consider joining an organized club / society and put in some quality time there.

If you are able to achieve your expected GMAT score and turn in a good application, you stand a very good chance of getting the interview call. From then on you will just have to prove that you will be a good fit in the school. ATB.

Smoke,
Given that you come from the most common pool (IT), i think you might want to beef up your profile with some quality extra currs, good GMAT score and a strong application (if you are considering applying next year itself). Then you would stand a better chance.

If you are ok with waiting a little, you might also consider adding a couple of years of work ex. ATB.

Hello,

I plan to apply to ISB next yr. I am an Indian IT (Fe)male with 5+yrs of exp and a GMAT of 710.

Please let me know if my GMAT is good enough or if I need to retake the same.

I took up GMAT with a preparation of less than a fortnight and hence feel that I could improve my score by 40-50 points with proper preparation.

Any suggestions? I heard that the cut off last year for IT folks was somewhere around 740.

Thanks,
Radhika.

Hi Radhika,

710 is a good score. My background is that of an Indian IT Female 2+ years exp and I'm thru to ISB this year. I know another person who has the same profile as me and a GMAT score of 700.
I don't believe your score will be a disadvantage for you. At this juncture you can safely work on developing the other aspects of your overall application profile.

Thanks for your suggestions, Giri.
