 My Story: ISB Early Entry Option (EEO) Admit  R2 2018! 


Hey everyone,


I received an admit from ISB for their EEO program this year( the cycle 2 deadline was 15th Jan 2018 and I received the admission offer on 5th March 2018)


I would like to give a special shout out to @GyanOneMBA for the excellent service they provided in reviewing the strengths and weaknesses in my profile,applications and especially essays.


The two one on one mock interviews conducted by them were excellent and they covered all possible avenues. I realised this after my actual interview with ISB was over, how close the mock interviews were to the actual interview.


If anyone here is looking for some serious guidance in their MBA preparation,especially GMAT and essay writing I would recommend Gyanone to you


My Profile-

Academic-Engineering Background

Work Ex-8 months

GMAT Score-720
