Ask GyanOne MBA Admission Consultants - Top Bschool Applications

Hi Gyanone,

I am trying to contact your team but am unable to establish any contact. I scheduled an appointment today but did not get a call. I had also sent an email earlier. Is there a way we can connect ?

We are getting a very high volume of queries, so sometimes are not able to respond to every query quickly. We are unable to figure out your real name from your username here (many people with the initials RG), so please email us referencing this thread.

When you email us, please make sure you include complete information on your profile, including your current resume and GMAT/GRE score. In case you don't have a score yet, please wait till you do before you contact us because it is hard for us to evaluate profiles without all the required information.

We look forward to receive your query and to respond to it. Thanks!

Ivey MBA essays



After a number of years with the same essay set, Richard Ivey School of Business at the University of Western Ontario in Canada has refurbished its essay set. The essays haven’t been completely revamped, but one of them has been completely changed. Now, Ivey applicants will be facing a lot more competition and will see a lot more selectivity (not implying that the selectivity was low earlier), as more MBA applicants target top Canadian business schools for their MBA.
In the Financial Times MBA ranking, Ivey has not been ranked very favorably historically. We believe that Ivey’s low ranking is in contrast to the high quality of education and strong career opportunities it offers to its students, and consider this to be a case of an outstanding school ranked low..Ivey MBA essays

ISB Admissions Round 1 vs Round 2



Should you apply to ISB MBA Round 1 or ISB Round 2? This is a perennial question that many ISB MBA applicants ask. We have earlier tried to answer this, but perhaps that response was not comprehensive enough. Here is our perspective on this now, which will help you make a more confident decision on ISB executive MBA Admissions Round 1 vs Round 2. First, you should ensure that you are ready to apply – you should have a decent GMAT score, have identified your recommender, and have time to dedicate to working on your application. Next, assuming you do have them, Round 1 is better. Why? The class profile is yet to be shaped, and so more chances of unconventional profiles, or profiles with some weaknesses making it..ISB Admissions Round 1 vs Round 2

ISB Reapplicant Chances – Can They Succeed the Second Time Round?



PRIYANKAR BASU
Priyankar, a bright engineer from the Indian Navratna company, Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL), also made it to ISB as a reapplicant. A graduate from Jadavpur University, Priyankar had a strong academic background, and also had various leadership experiences under his belt. However, Priyankar needed a deeper understanding of ISB and how the school could help him achieve his dreams.
An MBA is not always the most obvious career option for public sector professionals, and post-MBA options are somewhat specialized for them too. This is where GyanOne brainstorming sessions helped Priyankar see how the tremendous value he had added for his employer could be an asset for him too. At the same time, Priyankar researched his target industry thoroughly, mapping his skills to future expectations and ISB, and created a much stronger application..ISB Reapplicant Chances
