ISB roll out results round wise. So, let suppose I apply in round one and my profile is not good as compared to round one applicants however, it better than those applying in round 2, so basically, My application will be rejected in round 1 and I wont be allowed to apply into round 2 or round 3.

I assume that the number of quality profile applicants applying in round 1 will be much higher than applicants applying applicants in round 2 and round 3.

Please tell what am I missing over here or where am I going wrong?

ISB never said in R1 profile selected is better than R2 .. R2 is for those who given GMAt late or not able to get admission in better colleges abroad . quality will remain the same with diversification .

Hope it helps

I am sorry but I think you got my concern wrong. basically I am trying to say that it may be possible that a profile of round 1 applicant would be much stronger than round 2 and round 3 applicants but since he has applied in round one he was rejected as compared to other applicants of round 1. So in that situation that applicant loses an opportunity to enter into ISB(according to me). now my point is am I thinking right or is there some gap here and if yes then what?

All these are mere speculations and nothing else
It’s better to focus on essays and get a good GMAT score

If you’re ready, then apply on R1. Competition is similar (if not more in R2 and R3).

Like everything else in MBA, the answer is ’it depends’

Although your score is lower than ISB’s average, other factors in your profile + application quality can make up for it. Could you share more details about your profile?

Hi If i am unable to secure admission in round 1 application, will I be allowed to participate in future rounds? Also, since round 1 provides 100% scholarship, can any one debrief about the criterion for the 100% scholarship?
