Only a few days left ISB (2011 class) so thought all those preparing for the next year should get together to start our race to make it next year.

My Profile -

Work Exp - 3.5 yrs IT. A problem here is I don't have a exp certificate for about 10 months of exp as I left Infy and broke the 1 yr bond.
GMAT - Yet to take.
Acads - Very Good with a few awards at school and college level.
ECs - Good. Have conducted and been a part of many events at school, college and work.
Additional - Have been recognized a few times at work as well.

Please suggest me as to where I need to put up more effort to increase my chances of making it to ISB. Also what are the GMAT scores I should be aiming at?

Thanks in advance. I hope this thread will help everyone aiming for ISB and other schools as well.

After doing a lot of research, in my opinion

Gmat scores above 700 are very important for indian Business schools

750-790 - 2yrs exp, decent essays, IT background, non - iit, career switchers
700-750 - 3yrs experience, good acads, decent recos, extracurriculars, iit, career switchers
650-700 - >5yrs exp, good acads, diversity, essays, same industry progress
600-650 - >8yrs exp., god acads, very diverse, famous or rich, post mba same industry employability gaurantee

for international, top 15 schools

700-800 - 3yrs experience, decent essays, balanced acads, extracurri, leadership, social service, career switchers
600-700 - >5yrs exp, diversity, above other qualities, same industry progress.
