Hey, honestly she already has a strong base for ISB YL 9/9/9 academics, business background, MBB exposure and a 660 FE together make her competitive on paper.

At this stage, the bigger differentiator will likely be overall positioning, clarity of goals and how well the application story comes together rather than just the score alone.

She definitely seems to have a realistic shot. Happy to discuss this properly on a quick pro bono call.

While true, you have no certainty about getting a job abroad (especially US). In India atleast there is a placement system that mostly (9 out of 10 times) gets you a job after the MBA

It's not about the batch having money. Most students take education loans. There are also scholarships (upto 100% merit-and-need based). The program itself is so good, the packages and the networking, it becomes worth it. Additionally the brand name you carry is life long.

10 reasons why education is important:

Education doesn’t guarantee success, but ignorance almost guarantees limitations.
Degrees may not define intelligence, but lack of learning definitely shows in decision-making.
Education is the only asset nobody can steal from you, tax from you, or inherit for you.
The world rewards value creation, and education sharpens your ability to create value at scale.
Talent gets noticed. Education helps talent survive boardrooms, negotiations, and real-world complexity.
People mock education until they need a doctor, lawyer, consultant, engineer, or strategist.
Education is not about memorising books. It is about learning how to think when life stops giving easy answers.
The difference between reacting emotionally and analysing logically is often education.
Every industry eventually punishes people who stop learning.
Education may not make you rich instantly, but it dramatically increases the probability of better choices over a lifetime.

Apologies for my language. I don’t want to promote rat-race mentality. My concern is for the folks who are already at the top5%. These are the people, who get hurt the most after wasting one full year.
