There is an ISB Q&A session tomorrow at 11 AM I believe - you can check with the representatives there

Where can I get link for the session ?

Hi I am a non tech - female candidate applying-

Academic Background
I have 2.5 years of work experience. Academically, I scored 8.4 CGPA in my 10th grade, 87.7% in my 12th grade, and graduated with a CGPA of 3.2 out of 4 in my undergraduate studies. Pursed from NMIMS BBA

Professional Experience
I started my career straight out of college with EY India in their strategy consulting department, focusing on the government and public sector. Before this, I worked in the social sector with UNICEF, where I contributed significantly and was recognized with a humanitarian award. While my initial role was in strategy consulting for the government sector, I have since transitioned into technology consulting for AI project in the government and public sector. Got 3 promotions in 2.5 years

And have received an amazing LOR from my director who is also and ISB alum

Extracurricular Achievements
Beyond academics and work, I have actively pursued my interests. I have been a singer with notable achievements, winning multiple inter-school and inter-college awards, as well as 2-3 district-level awards. I am also passionate about social service and have organized multiple events.

Application Strength
I believe my ISB application is strong, especially my essay, where I have highlighted my impactful work with UNICEF. However, my GRE score only 301 can’t retake it is quite low. Given my profile and the fact that I have prepared my entire application for Round 3, do you think I stand a chance?

Are more R2 interview calls expected to come next week?
My status is still in 'Verified' and I am unsure if all interview invites have been rolled out.

No

R2 results will be announced on the same date for everyone, not on a rolling basis. Exact date of results is not known but you can expect it around mid-Feb

Hi, I am an R3 applicant and I am looking for interview prep services. Does the community have any recommendations?

Profile is pretty solid. While it is difficult to directly comment on your interview performance, statistically speaking you have a pretty good chance of selection solely based on the details of your profile. Scholarship is really difficult to predict since it also depends on school’s priorities on building the desired profile of the cohort. If your interview performance was stellar, I would keep my hopes up for scholarship as well

Where are these guidelines? I couldn’t see any such thing while uploading the photo :/

Portal for R3 is still open it seems
