Can someone clarify is “short listing under progress” status is update from “verified” only for candidates who are about to be short listed or is it updated generally once your application is under scrutiny?

Received this from someone who gave their interview today.
Interview debrief:

*Essay*:
- You are at an MBA internship and after the successful delivery of the project, your employer wanted to celebrate and offered to give high value gifts. Some of your peers have already accepted the gift. What actions will you take and how will this affect your relationship with your employer and your peers?
- Your colleague who is usually a high performer is under a lot of stress and his performance is affecting the team. What actions will you take?


*Interview* (in no particular order)
- Tell me about yourself
- What is your long-term goal? (Lot of cross questioning on the specifics of it.)
- What are your strengths and weaknesses? (Cross-questioned here)
- What activities / clubs will you participate in at ISB?
- What courses will you take at ISB?
- Provide details on a project you worked on recently.
- A time when you faced conflict at work.
- Why ISB?
- What other schools have you applied to?
- What if you don’t get to go to ISB this year?
- What do you like to do outside of work?
- Anything else you want to share that we have not covered?
- Any questions for us?

On the spot essay writing was part of the process till 2014 when we joined ISB . It was discontinued for several years before its reintroduction this year.

Can write back to ISB, albeit the rescheduled one will likely be a virtual conversation, not a red flag, but just letting you know

Please do have some flexibility at your end as well ShivaniGothwal69.

A candidate of ours had requested ISB to reschedule his interview date in Bangalore. ISB replied that it was not possible for the interview to be rescheduled.
