No is for need based ones mentioned below in the list. It won’t affect your merit scholarship consideration.

Thanks a lot for clearing that up 👍

Not really, ISB doesn’t change their criteria for R3 so the principle to apply when you’re ready, remains true!

On a separate note, spent a day at Masters’ Union with their team, students, etc. Good potential overall. Curriculum is non-traditional. Felt like an extended workplace. Do give it a look and share your thoughts on the video

In person is Preferable always
Gives the panel better opportunity to judge you holistically. online interview is not great at reflecting your personality. Ofcourse then again, it goes both ways. Online interviews also allow you to stay in your personal space and can help a lot for people who have anxiety.

Hi deceptrix, applying to R3 with an improved GMAT is the right strategy.

Hi, despite spending 1 cmplte year , I’m getting only 610-650 gmat score. Really don’t know what to do, shall I give the actual gmat test or not ??

Only isb and iim lucknow last round is pending.

Also older gmat version will be available till Jan 24.

Really don’t know what to do .....

If Quant is your relative strength, GMAT Focus is the way to go Mohit1994.

"The Admissions Committee is still reviewing your application and the decision will be made by first week of December 2023. We request your understanding and patience until then."

Has anyone who received this email for Round1 decisions gotten a reply from ISB yet?
