ISB 2017 Aspirants

In the accomplishment essay of ISB, they have asked to write about either personal or professional achievement. Whether it would be ok to focus on personal achievement..?? I have written about achievement during my NGO experience. Does ISB classify between personal and professional achievement in this essay...as in whether it gives more weight-age to professional achievement than personal..or only the value of achievement and quality of essay writing matters...???? @ISBmantra.com and @MansieDewanConsulting ... Please advise..

Hi,

I have a 750 in GMAT and about 31 months of work ex in April 2016.

B.Tech from IIT Kharagpur with a CGPA of 8.35

93.8% in 10th and 94.5% in 12th.

I have about 22 months of international work ex and the rest is in India, both in core engineering companies (not very big names though). I haven't done a lot to build my CV at college, but both my job profiles were managerial to an extent which, i'm hoping, will help counterbalance what my CV otherwise lacks.

That aside, i can write decent (not extraordinary) essays and get a couple of good recos.

Any comments on where i stand? Or any suggestions on where i should focus?

Hi,

I have almost 7 years of work ex in April 2016.

B.Tech with 76%

85.2% in 10th, 86% in 12th.

I have been working in Product Development with experience in healthcare and telecom domains. Started career with Infosys but have been working with small organizations ever since. Good professional career with recognition and awards. Have an excellent Product development experience

Good extracurricular as well.

Going to appear for GMAT this month end.

Any evaluations and suggestions ?
