Btw they wont ask you guesstimates unless you mentioned analytical skills as your strength or you mentioned consulting as your post job preference.

Thank you Gonnaflynow, I didn't mention either :-)

Btw I have one more query regarding the one word essay. I am not that good with vocabulary. What will happen in case I get a word for which I don't understand the meaning :-(

Will I get some info on what it means or I am screwed!

Relax...they wont ask you corner words from dictionary. Simple words only..like orange or symbolic.I dont think you would get any help on words.!!!
Be confident and dont worry about petty things. The one word essay doesnt matter that much.

Typically the words are easy, but still if you do not know the meaning, you can very well take out your cell phone, open the dictionary and then check the meaning :)

Lolz.. yes I heard that no one really monitors you writing these 1 word essays. So you can probably ask someone nearby too.

Btw, anyone got interview call today?

It will be a difficult situation if we are not able to recall the meaning of the word during skype.

Also what to say about the word? Eg of it is Apathy? Can we narrate our life experience related to the word? or just say anything bs.

Hi guys. I have been following everyone for a while but this is my first post. I think the anxiety of waiting is killing me. Its already more than 2 weeks since I submitted :cry:

Any tips on the interview. Please share any links that I can use for understanding the level of questions I will be facing. I heard ISB is much tougher than foreign colleges interview questions.

I read somewhere the basic idea of one word essay is for them to judge if you have written the app essays yourself. So you need not worry if you have. Also its a way to calm your nerves to distract you from thinking about something else before the interview, so just go with the flow.

I don't know if this has been asked earlier, but why is there no Mumbai venue for interviews??

I mean, if you can have an admissions event here, why not interviews? I would guess that Mumbai would be among the top 3 application geographies...
ISB, no love for Bombay??
