Guess there were online interviews conducted for YLP/EEO applicants yesterday. Will they still be able to release the results on Nov 8 despite postponed interviews?
Yes they will be..note that if it’s 8th then most likely will be post 8pm. So anxieties under control through the day.

Gmatclub team might not like it but if you’re waiting for the result, for your own mental peace, stay away from the forum for a few days..

You’ll anyway get to know the result from ISB!

Leaders you guys are, already and future ones (at least as per your essays :) )..manage anxiety well!!

Do ISB adcom use to read essays?

Or it use to read by alumni and some other third party reviewer's ?

The anxiety is real! I read through the messages leading up to the r1 results last year. People constantly asking the official isb account to give updates, them saying they’ve triggered it and lots and lots of anxiety! Would really like to thank you Manan, seeing how you’ve constantly supported people here(and also kept people sane last year😆)

Intent is the same this year too! I know how tough it is on D-day.

Hey everyone
Asking the R1 folks (first-time applicants) who got an interview invite, did you work with any consultant or applied on your own?

I have the same GMAT score as you and I did it all on my own. Just spoke to a few alums before interview as my work experience is a little unique. All the best!

It’ll always be a mix.. with survivorship bias on both sides. Consultants solve for time and personalized attention throughout the journey, not just in essay reviews but before that.. ’what should be in there’ before ’how it looks’.

Most folks do who get essays reviewed by alums/friends minus prior brainstorming is just about getting your English reviewed. Grammarly can do a better job.

Find people who are there with you through the entire thing..it can be alums, senior friends, other Bschool alums, or for that matter Consultants.

I am from engineering background. just that I never worked in IT. So from what I understand, having a profile that stands out in any area (extra circulars, education or work exp) helps us engineers. Sure you can PM me, FYI I just got an interview invite and not yet an admit, so what I did might not be the right thing to do!

is a 321 GRE good for a diverse candidate for ISB?
Generally not a good score rajshreeasati.

If you could provide more detail though, that might help.

Adcom reads the essays, alumns only take your interviews.
