Male
Score: 420 GMAT Classic
GPA: 2.88
Pre-MBA industry: Other
Post-MBA industry: Finance
I applied for YLP last year with the current profile. I cleared 1st round with the GPA (2.88/4) and profile. However, due to 420 In GMAT, I didn't continue with the round 2 process. This year I'll be applying with the EEO route. I am preparing to get a better GMAT score this year, and I have bagged work experience in my family business managing it in its entirety. With a couple of quantifiable achievements.

As for my profile last year, I had an unusual undergraduate route and participated in multiple competitions. I secured rank in a couple of them. Explore multiple domains through internships. Was part of an NGO. Then, I anchored on finance as the industry. Tried my hands on derivative and equity with positive ROI.

I aim for an IB or a private equity role (Buy-side) post-MBA. The only hindrance I am facing currently is getting a good GMAT score. I am working on it tho.

Hi there, Did you get into ISB?
The GMAT score (420) and GPA looks below average. Work exp is also 0.7 yrs.
I wonder what is unique in your profile? Please share your background.

I think you misunderstood. I didn't get into ISB yet.

This year I'll be applying with the EEO route. I am preparing to get a better GMAT score this year, and I have bagged work experience in my family business. So, you can say I am over-optimistic.
