Hi Laveena, feel free to talk to current and incoming students of ISB here: https://www.mentoroni.com/mentors-page? ... f+Business

I believe talking to the students from the target school is the best way to prepare for the school application.

Hi Laveena, there are multiple threads on GmatClub to help you with that. You can first start by getting your profile evaluated by alums and admissions consultants here (fyi, I am both and an alum first from heart :)): profile-evaluation-for-isb-210934-4360.html?fl=notifications#p2795628

In addition, there is a thread for 2022 intake here: calling-all-isb-pgp-applicants-2022-intake-class-of-354612-60.html?fl=notifications#p2796052

Is there anything specific you’re looking for? Happy to help before bombarding with more links from here and outside :)

Posted from my mobile device

In general, you shouldn't just copy-paste the essays. In the repplicant essay, the major focus should be on a) what you did to seek feedback / what you think were the reasons for rejection and b) how you've worked upon them.
For the first two essays, the theme / traits / goals can be similar in case nothing has changed, especially if you applied in R3 and are now in R1. You may want to look at structuring them in a different fashion once you introspect.

Cheers,

an increased gmat score and promotion to a higher designation and a new company shift - can these points make a good case in reapplicant essay? or it has to be more on personal skill level?

It’s the function of what was lacking in your profile last year. The idea is to improve in that area. Talking to current students can help in understanding the gap and areas of improvement.

Irrespective of the reason for rejection, you can mention this OVER & ABOVE the areas you lacked. A score improvement, promotion, handling a new project, etc. should be mentioned.

Hi all, For the 2021 intake, I had applied in R3 and was waitlisted after being interviewed.
Would it be advisable to me to apply in R1 for 2022 intake?
Please suggest.
