Hey,
I have different opinion here. I think it is completely fair on their end to announce all the results on the same day. If the result date would have been much later say March 30 it could be an issue since most B schools announce final results by mid march and you need to decide the best for you in a short period of time. March 5 is quite early for any school and applicant can wait.
Also ISB don't need to claim anymore, it is a global B School. The latest/past FT rankings prove that. It is bringing diversity in its own way.
Good Luck![/quote]
I personally believe that if the institute has decided to reject the applicants, its better to inform the candidate at the earliest. In this way, the applicant can better prepare for the remaining colleges.[/quote]
Agreed. But even if they do call you for interview nothing is certain. You still need to give your best to you second preferred schools. Getting interview does nothing in the mindset of the applicant as far as his preparation for other schools is concerned. So giving reason that "applicant will be in a position to prepare better for remaining colleges" does not sound logically correct to me.[/quote]
Consider a situation wherein an applicant is preparing for interview and gets to know that he has been dinged before interview, he can better utilise the time for other colleges. As a working professional, we have professional and family responsibilities to cater and we need to utilize the available time in the best possible way.
There are n reasons in favour of or against informing candidates about their candidature. But, there is nothing wrong in informing the candidates about their candidature.
