Did anyone's application status change from 'verified' to 'shortlisting in progress' today ?

Hi MeenakshiSundar You have only 2.5 years of experience, which puts you at the borderline of eligibility for the flagship program. You need to understand that you cannot compete with the depth of experience that the majority of candidates selected for the ISB cohort will bring (think bell curve). There’s no easy way out for you other than improving your score. Let me also tell you that young candidates with low exam scores and no intention of retaking the test leave a very weak impression on the admissions committee. Your professional responsibilities, while important, can’t reasonably be framed as more critical than those of countless others in more senior roles, who still manage to put in the effort to improve their scores. Aside from the fact that you have to beat the competition, admissions offices have a responsibility to make sure you don't academically struggle in analytical subjects, especially finance. They need to see that the people admitted have reached a certain level especially in Quant. Please reconsider this.



Best wishes

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?

Interview is mostly around 3 aspects your workex, post mba goals and about the mba program itself (why mba, why isb and what you contribute to isb)

Essays are situational like one of your teammates is slacking how would you respond, you committed a mistake how you would own it up and rectify
