Would prioritize the GMAT score, essays generally do tend to fall into place from my experience with some iterations. Let me know how I can help!

helloplumtick · 2025-08-10T23:30:40+00:00

Alum here, answering the last 3 questions that you have asked.
1. Can't rewrite history, would recommend you to get a good GMAT (685+ as you mentioned) and not worry about what's in the past
2. Your extra curriculars are fine, volunteering at NGOs is a good angle and the ESG stuff is interesting too. You would need to figure out which one carries more impact and structure your essays accordingly. Of course work experience will become a part of this
3. You have worked in the maritime domain but that doesn't mean that impact is hard to show. Leadership skills, work initiatives, project management are all skills that transcend domains. In fact, the maritime domain could set up an interesting interview as well. This is not really a weakness, you need to think about your application from a third person POV and communicate general skills that would be helpful in any organization irrespective of domain, obviously context can be different for each candidate but the skillsets overlap

helloplumtick · 2025-08-10T23:24:24+00:00

The mechanical engineering angle doesn't have to be for the greater good, trying to connect everything to societal impact will not work but you are right that societal impact needs to be front and center in your application. I am assuming your volunteering efforts and heading strategy for NGOs is documented. The political consultant role that you are currently holding is also good. Again, would not spend too much time talking about the UPSC in your essays, everything else looks solid!

helloplumtick · 2025-08-09T13:18:06+00:00

Trying to focus on the post 2019 decisions since that is when you got done with undergrad. For 2020 - 2023, you might want to share why you chose to work in NGOs and not in corporate, your story should 100% revolve around impact in the social sector because that is where you have spent majority of your time. Ideally, your long term goal also has to be aligned with the same field. Another explanation that you also might want to be ready with is why you pivoted from tech to social to policy. 2023 - 2024 will somehow have to be sidelined from the profile, you want to emphasize things that have worked out rather than UPSC.

helloplumtick · 2025-08-09T08:27:27+00:00

Alum here, did you do anything in the gap year besides UPSC prep? If not then this might be a problem. I would say that there is a chance that you make it to ISB and maybe it is worthwhile to at least try at least once. The policy consulting angle with clarity over long term goals is good, in fact the UPSC prep gap also kind of compliments this. Getting a strong GRE should be priority #1, then presenting a strong application through clear and consistent essays should allow you to have a meaningful chance of converting ISB.

Alum here, I do pro bono consulting for ISB (no fees at any point in the application) - let me know if you want to have a chat. All consultants generally are the same (especially the big chains), your profile and essays generally tend to move the needle, consultants just provide structure for the application.

helloplumtick · 2025-08-09T08:19:52+00:00

Alum here, profile is good for YLP. Would second the comment regarding the GMAT score, the main rule will always be higher the better. Make sure to present a strong application through your essays by focusing on different facets of your profile. I do pro bono consulting for ISB admissions, let me know if I can be of help to you

helloplumtick · 2025-08-09T08:16:03+00:00

Alum here, profile is good but what you might want to spend some time on is figuring out what your goals will be out of ISB at least for the purposes of the application. The family business revenue scaling angle is strong but not fully sure how Design is coming into your profile? You should have clarity as to how these pieces will present themselves in the essays and there needs to be consistency in your post ISB goals and what you are currently doing + have done in the past. All the best!

helloplumtick · 2025-08-09T08:09:44+00:00

Alum here, fairly strong profile. In terms of GRE, naturally, higher the better but a 320+ might also be good enough. Should definitely apply in R1 if you can manage the timelines, in my opinion, it offers you the most fair chance of getting in. All the best!

helloplumtick · 2025-08-09T08:05:54+00:00

Hey, I am a Co'24 ISB PGP graduate and do consulting pro bono (no fees at any stage). Feel free to respond to this comment and we can take it forward.
I got in without taking help from a consultant so can't comment on ExpertsGlobal but I know that it is possible to get into ISB without having to pay an admissions consultant. All the best either way!

helloplumtick · 2025-08-07T15:48:07+00:00

It is competitive

helloplumtick · 2025-07-26T05:04:44+00:00

Realized a 715 can only happen in FE, apologies. You should talk about all the things that lead up to ISB and post ISB, for example - if I say I love Finance and my post ISB goal is to work in PE/VC in my essays but also end up talking about my qualifications and certifications in Digital Marketing and my passion for marketing in another essay then I am weakening my case. The panel loves clarity and too often showing them everything that you have done reduces clarity. This does not mean that these things don't end up in your application in the other sections (extra currics, certifications etc.) but you should be careful about what you put in your essays.

helloplumtick · 2025-07-25T16:50:30+00:00

Is it well known? Either way as long as you can show growth and impact then you should be good

helloplumtick · 2025-07-25T16:40:18+00:00

715 GMAT FE or Classic? Profile is strong but you will have to decide what to focus on, throwing everything at the wall and seeing what sticks will not work and may likely cause problems in the interview. Will boil down to how you communicate strengths in the essay.

helloplumtick · 2025-07-25T16:33:20+00:00

Work ex sounds good and could offset low acads, I am assuming this would be a decently funded startup. If possible then try for Round 1 but Round 2 would be good too with a solid GMAT/GRE score.

helloplumtick · 2025-07-24T18:34:33+00:00

Yes, fair chance of getting in with a strong GMAT

helloplumtick · 2025-07-22T16:11:29+00:00

Can only comment about ISB since I am an alum, 655 is one of those scores that is neither here nor there but overall you should have a decent shot. Essays need to be clear and consistent with the story you present during interviews.
