Calling all ISB PGP Applicants - (2022 Intake) Class of 2023

The wait is honestly so excruciating!

Posted from my mobile device

Hi all, Are the final R2 results out?

I gave my interview on 8th Jan. No info as of yet, do I stand a chance ??

Hi, i am a round 2 applicant, is there any chance of interview call ?

During an admissions event they mentioned that due to COVID, the interview might be stretched to 1st or even 2nd week of Feb and they inform only 7 days prior so hope for the best

I have a friend who. interviewed on 9th, he’s waiting for the results as well, best not to assume

Any idea, when will Round-3 applicants receive interview invites?

Hi Rags95
We are glad that you have started thinking through and we can shed some light on the question here.
We would say a 700+ score is a decent take for ISB and this year the deadlines were Sept 12 , Dec 5 & Jan 30.
To crack through this B-school, we suggest you to make sure that your Quant and Verbal score are at place and can help you consolidate to 700+ overally.

Here are a few pointers before you jump into the GMAT prep:-
Use the RIGHT RESOURCES
We would suggest you to stick to ONLY OFFICIAL tests and OFFICIAL practice questions.
Your time is precious and should be invested only on OFFICIAL materials.
Once you have completed the OG,you can use the Official Advanced Questions Doc(with 150 Verbal and 150 Quant) and analyze the errors made.

Smash the EASY and the INTERMEDIATE
To have a good score, it is important that you not only get these questions correct in both Verbal and Quant but you also get them correct like a Marvel Superhero - Meaning with precise accuracy, jet speed and with complete confidence. You have to up your skills to smash them in under 90 seconds.Breaching the Q46 and the V30 implies you have bridged the Conceptual gaps.

Improve ACCURACY in the ADVANCED questions
Now since you have got the time on your side by implementing the previous pointer effectively, enter the next level of Optimization!
Use the time that you saved in the easy and the intermediate questions to invest on the challengers! This will increase your chances of getting them right and will also not cost you any additional time that would otherwise put you under stress.The more you get correct in this section,the better your chances of having a great 700+ !

Be CONFIDENT on your responses
Do not overthink once you have made the plunge and attempted the question.
Correct or incorrect, that will only affect your psyche and prevent you from being the best version of YOU!
We know, its easier said than done but these differentiators would tell between a GMAT taker and a GMAT 700+ scorer!

Think about it this way,if you have an experimental question that doesnt seem very difficult to you,you may doubt your performance and your low confidence will affect the others and this time the investment of focus is really a nasty one because there are NO returns on this.
You would lose focus and for literally no reason. You are psychogically tricked!
Indeed,our super powerful brain has an extra ordinary quality. It works best when it works against us!
Self doubts,overthinking,low confidence,...and the list would go on!
So learn CONTROLLING your thoughts and make the powerful organ work in your favour.

NO ALTERNATE to a sharp focus
You have to be in it to WIN it
You have to stay in the moment ,focus intensively on the question stub, on the data, on the options, on the rooms of all logical perspectives and remember, on the GMAT, most of the time its not about actually solving it but recognizing the RIGHT answer choice.

Managing QUANT and VERBAL
Wohhh! Too many pointers already. Guess you are tired??
We hope not because you have lengthy RCs and stubborn Quant Questions to solve back to back in one single paper
Maintaining mental stamina and an effective thought process as you solve the questions without succumbing to the burnout is our last pointer.
Practicing full length tests without breaks will help you build up on it.

Now how can WE help you??
Let try to answer this question exhaustively.

Hi Priya

Anyone with a 600 something score got thru?

Does anyone have an approximate idea on how many total admits have rolled out for co’23? (Including R1 & 2)

I am just trying to understand how many seats are left

My estimate is approx 50%-60% are full since EEO & YLP will also be theer
Presuming 800 seats

There will probably be around 950 seats.

+1

They are smart business minds .. they know how to earn money from people who are waiting for US results and selected in ISB

Hi, Is Blazer compulsory for the interviews?

Is a formal shirt enough?

Always recommended to go with a Blazer.

I had reached out to the admission team enquiring if any more interview invites can be expected and this is what they responded :

"Thank you for reaching out to the ISB admissions team.

The interview process is still going on. The interviews for round 2 will happen till mid of Feb. The result will be announced by the end of February. "

So I guess those who haven't received interview invite yet can keep their hopes alive until the next week.

Also, I was analyzing R1 & R2 numbers and this is what can be seen in the "Decision Tracker"
- R1 : Total applications 289, Candidates Interviewed 251. So roughly 86% candidates were called for interviews.
- R2 : Total applications 133, Candidates Interviewed 97
So as per "R1" logic, around 10-12 more invites can be expected. However, I guess R2 Total applications has R3 candidates as well. So may be only 7-8 invites will be coming till next week.
