ISB admission process is highly mismanaged...

If they are not able to declare interview dates, due to Non availability of Alums at any particular location or may be logistical issues at their end... The list of candidates shortlisted for interview should have been declared... This will reduce the chaos...

I have seen most of the people applying to ISB through GMAT, is it that GMAT is easy or they prefer GMAT. Can someone guide me onto which one should i go for- GRE or GMAT

How many words should our spot essays be? I understand there isn’t a word limit but how many words would be appropriate.
