Hi All,

Need some advice for choosing B-school.

Acads: 87.80 (X), 84 (Xll), 82.07 (Graduation from one of the older IITs)

Working as an analyst in a Big Insurance Firm. Total Exp : 3 years

How good is the profile for ISB? What score will be sufficient to get a call from ISB?

I have a call for MDI (PGP-IM) this year. Should I try for ISB next year or go for MDI this year.

(Haven't taken the GMAT yet)

TIA

Can someone throw more light on placements for finance, specifically Corporate Finance roles at ISB. This will help me in narrowing down the options. General sense I get by browsing over internet is that, finance opportunities are limited at ISB. I prefer hearing directly from the students instead. Thanks.
