Hi,

It sounds like you are pretty focused on ISB so it's good that you know what you are aiming for. I don't believe you mentioned any of your career goals and WHY you want the MBA-- please note that having clearly identified goals is fairly crucial when applying to competitive MBA programs (i.e. if there are two strong applicants and one has clearly demonstrated how he/she will use the MBA and why it is important for them at this point in their career etc and the second one does not, you can imagine it is easier to choose the first candidate in that scenario).

In terms of your work experience it sounds like you would have a shot at ISB if you can really differentiate yourself and highlight what YOU bring to the program that is different from others with similar professional backgrounds. But at this point it's tough to tell because SO much will be affected by your GMAT score and by your application essays. So be sure to invest significant time and effort working on both of those.

Also it's great that you have a variety of activities and involvements that you can include; just be careful not to sound scattered/disorganized or to just have a 'laundry list' of items-- better to focus on a couple of key activities and explain your interests well, than to briefly mention a hug list of items. Your blogging experiences about the business world are of interest, for example.

Let us know what other specific q's you have and good luck to you!
