Hi Saurabh,

You've had an interesting career path - hotel management and hospitality is a somewhat unique/different background, especially for an Indian male applicant. But, as you know, your GMAT score is quite low. I think ISB is going to be a stretch and that your efforts are better spent on the other programs on your list.

Good luck,
Mili
