I plan to apply for ISB this year. Please review my profile

25 Male

10th ICSE - 89.4%

12th - 87% (95% in core subjects)

Information Science Engineering (M.S Ramaiah Institute of Technology, Bangalore) - 9.2 /10 CGPA

GMAT - Haven't given yet

Work Ex - 3 years as of June 31st

2.3 years in an IT firm where I was involved in building a significant product. Currently I am working in a startup as Product Developer/ Product Owner of an entire B2B product where I lead the development as well as management.

My primary goal for an ISB MBA would be to go full time into Product Management (of Technology Products ) by taking up relevant courses in consumer behaviour, marketing and others. I consider myself a generalist. Although I have lot of interests and hobbies there is nothing commendable about it IMO. I cannot focus on improving my extra curricular activities as my current job demands 60-70 hours of my time a week. I only plan to apply for ISB this year, preferably in round 1 so that I have enough time to improve my profile for the next year if I cannot make it

Hello everyone, I wanted to know how useful it is to engage an MBA consultant to help with the MBA application process, vis-a-vis managing the complete process by myself. Had anyone here benefited from external help and if yes, who would you recommend for essays and strategy guidance for ISB? Thanks
