Hi Ankur
i got it reviewed from 3 different persons, all from different age group and B school students.
Lets see ....

But I am not able to fix one error: "Employment joining date not matching with the first joining date".......I have checked the dates...no dates overlapping.

Can you think of some solution to the problem.

Hey Archit, I did not get what your problem really is, is the application portal not showing you the date ??

Welcome to gmatclub :)

Dude don't get demoralized with the low score, you have got a plenty of time in your hand to make that score reach the 7xx figure.
For verbal, go through the MGMAT sentence correction book and the OG thoroughly ... that should solve your problems :)
All the best with your preparation.
Also, since you are giving your GMAT in august, that will leave you just 1.5 months for your application as the R1 date is 15th september. So you should give the essays a look and start devicing a rough sketch of your essays probably after sometime.

Hello applicants,

I have fair shares of successes and failures while applying to b-schools last year. I got finally admitted to MIT Sloan MBA Program early this year. Ideally I want to help applications get through ivy-leagues, so ISB will become a cakewalk/ comparatively easy for them.

I am the Indian with the lowest GMAT score of 700 who made it to Sloan this year. I would like to share some insights - Power of your stories which everybody has - on how you can also get in to ivy-league/ISB. This formula works across all b-schools, so ISB will not be so much difficult for you. I believe if I can make it with low score, anyone can make it to great schools with even lower scores.

Please feel free to get in touch with me:
Pawan Gupta, MIT Sloan Admit | Email: its.pawan.kr@gmail[dot]com | Read my story at: www[dot]facebook[dot]com/ivy.admit.club

When you sign up for the ISB application. Initially , there is a sort of registration form that you have to fill in. In the same registration form you have to enter date of first joining, I entered it as 08th March 10...which is graduation date. I shud have entered 09th March 2010. Now when you start to fill in your employment details , your first employment date must match with the date of first joining that you entered initially.

However the problem is resolved with the help of ad com.

Attended the info session at kolkata. I have been attending it for quite some time. It was totally different this time. In all previous info sessions Mr Kanan said they just want a valid gmat score, but this time he clarified that GMAT is not the most but one of the most strongest factors for getting through ISB.

There was no mention about ISB ranking on a continous landslide from 15 to 25 to 38 now on ft.....I mean the should come fwd and explain the reason behind that and what measures are being taken to correct the downward trend.

Consider Kudos, If my post helps!!!

Well ... i would say that do not entirely wait for the GMAT to get over and then start working on the essays, have a look at them and probably make a rough sketch of your essays, list down your achievements, positives, major things, over a period of days.
That will help you :)

Finally ISB people agree to the point which everybody knew from always :P
But i think that the high GMAT score will only be useful for the common pool of applicant like we the IT people.
People like you Archit should not give the statement much of a thought and just keep on polishing your essays ...

I have an explanation about that ...
I asked it during my interview, and the panel consisting on one adcom and two alums said that rankings give a high weight age on salaries and that too salaries in dollars, something around 40% weight-age.

So due to the ever sliding rupee, the average salary in dollars has decreased and hence the rankings.
There might be some other factors also, but if the info provided to me was correct, then this is a big contributor to the downfall in the rankings ...

Actually i had read the reason on ft ranking analysis. The reason mentioned there was that the students are not able to find job in comparison to other B schools on the same rank. So you cannot blame it all on rupee depreciation. Much is to the falling repute of the college too. You can check the avg CTC of 2010 and compare with present one. The avg pay is reducing.

Hi Guys,
Can anybody tell me how ISB looks at score report with multiple Gmat attempts ? Do they consider the highest score or average of all scores ? I'm asking this since I'm going to take my first attempt at Gmat in few days, but as of now it seems highly unlikely that I will be reach my target score of 740. I'm in dilemma of whether to cancel(as exam is < 7 days away) the exam so that I can have just one good score on my score report or to take it, resulting in a possibly lower score on my score report. Pls advise.

Hi Tarun,

I attended a webinar arranged by ISB yesterday and professor Kannan explicitly said that ISB will consider the highest GMAT score whether it is the first score or the third score. I hope that i am able to answer your question just in time .. before your GMAT. Sorry for the delay. Was bit busy so could not reply.

Archit, actually, the average pay is decreasing because of the depreciation of the rupee. The students who get jobs in India, for them the conversion is done, which results in a lower value and hence affects the rankings ...

Tell me than why is European schools increasing there presence in FT ranking...If you see closely two new europeon schools have entered the ranking and they are Lisbon mba and tilsburg. Euro too is weak. Why are korean schools improving on rankings. Korean money is weak compared to dollar.....
It will be biased to just mention one fact that is weak rupee. IIM pgppx is also declining in rank but not as ISB. It is on a full swing.

may be pundits of ranking can better explain the decline.

Hi Ankur,
Thanks for the reply. Good to know that ISB only considers the best score. However I went ahead and cancelled the appointment because of health issues. I see that you have already taken GMAT once and scored a good 700. I also see noticed that your MGMAT mock scores are similar to what I scored in the first two CATs. However I'm still not really sure of anywhere close to 700. How do you see the actual test compared to MGMAT CATs.
One more thing, since you have already applied to ISB once. How much time you took to complete the application process ? I'm supposing that two months should be fine. What do you say ?

Ya Tarun i think two months should suffice, i took my GMAT 19th of OCT and then started my application, which was to be finished before 30th Nov.
I believe that since i got an interview call, the application would have been OK :P

So yes, two months would suffice,
This time around also i am keeping around two months for application process :)
When is your GMAT?
