Isbasp123 how disappointing to say the least! At this point, it honestly could be a game of statistics, that is picking the best of the borderline eligible applicants for ISB (since you only have 2.4 years of experience). Admissions tend to be more challenging both for very young and older candidates (the bell curve). While I have seen very young applicants get accepted to ISB with only 24 months of work experience or a bachelor’s with no tier 1 pedigree, I think the story you present to the school (along with insights into future goals) is the most important part of the application and the ultimate decision. The 332 score is also a great score, so do not be discouraged and come back stronger with bigger and better takeoff points in your career trajectory.

Beware they have sectional cuoffs as 75%ile, which work out to Q50 minimum, so although your Gmat may be 750+, no sectional=no call=waste of time.

That would be my the end of ISB, if it does

I mean, I have seen things go a lot of ways with ADCOM. So, I will take my chances and roll with my abysmal quant score. It’s either that or be miserable for another year. I pick gambling.

ShivkumarGMAT Nothing complex here. Basis the previous class stats, ISB had about 50 students in the batch with 8+ years of work experience. These are published stats so you could say 8 years mark the threshold for being categorized as a more experienced candidate. Then the older you are the more difficult it becomes. ISB is intrinsically not too focused on the more experienced folks (which we all know). So ultimately, if the same trend continues, folks with 8+ years of experience are ultimately targeting these 50-something seats every year.
