I'd figured that it wasn't anything good. Hence, the options that I'd put:" Pizza | Butter chicken " as the options!!! :twisted:

Dude first things first. Drop them a mail straight away if you have not already.
Apologize, plead and tell them what happened.

Usually ISB gives a call to you on the day of the interview if you click on the link and accept the interview. But in this case, you did not accept the interview, hence did not get a reminder phone call.

After dropping them a mail, call them up tomorrow morning. They should consider your plea as interviews are still going on. Location might be a problem.
I have read about a guy who missed his interview last year, but was finally admitted. So, you would not be the first one.

All the best!

One of our applicants missed his interview last year (just forgot). ISB gave him another slot, so you should just go ahead and ask them. Its a chance you would not want to miss now.

ISB Student Diaries #2 : Exchange Programs - Opportunities Unlimited!

The international exchange program at ISB is truly a unique opportunity that is available to every current student. It presents aspiring students with a chance to attend globally renowned business schools such as Wharton, Kellogg, LBS, Stern and the likes. At these institutions, students are able to interact with the best minds from the world over, creating a long-standing association, and leaving mark at a global level themselves. Needless to say, the selection for such a break can be expected to be highly rigorous, with several rounds of tests and interviews, till an exemplary few are chosen to represent the school on the international stage.

However, many are surprised to learn that, rather than being overly specific, the selection process for the outbound exchange program at ISB is absolutely random! Quite literally, every student on campus has an equal opportunity to bid and get selected for exchange to a given school. Here is how it works:

About two months after the first term begins, a date for the exchange program application is set. Every student gets access to a portal where the bidding will take place. On the day of the bidding, a list of institutions available for the exchange is uploaded on the portal. Students have a one hour window in which they can bid for the institutions that most appeal to them. As soon as a student logs in, the system generates a 5 digit number for every application that a student makes. This number is absolutely random. At the end of the 1 hour window, the student who has the lowest 5 digit number for a given school is declared the winner!

However, the student has to confirm the bid for it to be finalized. If a student reconsiders and opts not to confirm, the school is then relisted for round 2 of the bidding. This usually takes place 2 weeks after the completion of round 1. On a rare occasion, if a student confirms a bid but then cancels it later, the student loses 800 points from the 4500 bidding points allotted at the start of the year. Since these points are used to enter popular high-bid courses, the loss can result in a student's inability to apply for major courses later. As such, students always take confirmation of wins very seriously. In any case, accepting an exchange would cost a student 500 bidding points. There are no points deducted for students who bid but do not confirm a win.

While the exchange program is something that several students at ISB may desire to undertake, there are several aspects one needs to consider before deciding to bid. None of the expenses related to travel and stay for the exchange are borne by ISB - it has to be fully funded by the student. Further, the student should be able to accommodate the time needed for the exchange within the time he/she has for other courses. Time management is also affected by the term in which the student has to travel for the exchange and whether it clashes with domestic placement opportunities.

To conclude, ISB's exchange program is a great opportunity for those who wish to build strong global networks and develop a broader perspective of business by interacting with peers and faculty from all around the world. Given that every candidate at ISB is unique and judging them on pure academic criteria may not be fair, the selection is completely random, giving every interested student an equal opportunity to succeed.

'ISB Student Diaries' is a series of articles published by ISBmantra to help prospective applicants develop a better understanding of life at ISB. The full set coming on our website soon.

All the Best!

Yes , I called them ,one lady picked the phone and she asked me to drop an email to her but noone has acknowledged it yet. So I called again but she told that the person who schedules the interview will be back on Monday so talk to her on Monday.

Now I am waiting for Monday and some reply.

My Friend,

“Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear - not absence of fear” -Mark Twain

and

“He who is not everyday conquering some fear has not learned the secret of life.” -Ralph Waldo Emerson

Look at it this way - Even though I got a zero year in 2013, and I was afraid of trying again only to be spurned again, I still went ahead and applied. I aspire to power through my troubles... even if I am afraid to do so.

Warm Regards,

You know the first time I heard the name of the site: poets and quants, I thought the name was misleading. It' must not be a MBA info site. But as I went down the rabbit hole of applying to colleges and going through the entire gamut of Emotions, I realised how apt the name of the site was.
Now my dear friend's Note here has made re-live that realisation again. I
We really are poets strong in quants.

Suit is recommended but not necessary - both for the picture and the interview. My interviewer looked like he was dressed in his pajamas :lol:

Normal office formals will do for ISB.

Interesting question. I don't think they would judge you based on your photograph :D
One in a shirt with a tie should suffice :)
