hi guys. In a fix right now.
I checked my essays for AI content and one of the websites has flagged one of my essay as ai generated. Another website cleared it. I did not bother checking earlier as I had written them myself, but now I have submitted my application and I’m super paranoid. Any help would be appreciated.
So there are limitations of AI detection tools and may be open to hearing your explanation. However, before submitting, it’s a good idea to verify by checking 3-4 different websites to ensure you’re on the safe side.

For everyone who has written essays on their own, you need not worry. You will test your essays against 6 AI detectors, some will show 10%, some will show 100%. Be true to yourself, and don’t fear if you have written it yourself. All the best!

Hello odd_major,
While your strong academics, years of experience, and a hopefully good GMAT score (655+ GMAT FE) fall within the right bracket to be part of the ISB cohort, your extra-curriculars paint a heavily different picture of your profile versus your actual work experience. It is perhaps the way you've detailed (or rather, the lack of it) your work responsibilities that does not make it stand out.

Your post-MBA goal is the major post-ISB choice of the ISB cohort, and it shows in their prospectus as well. Therefore, it is essential to bridge the gap from where you are to where you are off to - this will help you stand out of the crowd. We are sure there is more to you than what is written. A well-crafted application with strong recommendations and compelling essay narratives should make a lot of difference. Now would be the right time to start that journey if you are aiming for R2.

We would love to learn more about your experiences and assist you throughout your application journey. At Team FLY, we are a dedicated collective of ISB alumni focused on supporting prospective ISB candidates with profile positioning, essay critiques, and interview preparations.
Please feel free to book a 15-minute free session for a detailed discussion with us: https://calendly.com/reachusfly/15min

We are also thrilled to announce the launch of our new website, where we are currently offering an inaugural discount of up to 20% across our services. We invite you to visit us at: https://www.teamfly.org/

With warm regards,
Team Fly

Hi everyone
For the need basis scholarship, in the application window it says we would receive a link in the email after application submission. Is there any checkbox we need to select to receive this email during application or is it sent to everyone.

Hi everyone
Need some advice. I gave the GFE yesterday and did not score great on it but have completed the rest of the application for R1. I will be applying in R2 after giving the GFE again. Do I need to do anything to my application or will it carry forward into R2 itself?? Thanks in advance.

My recommender is saying that the link for recommendation is showing application deadline lapsed. But deadline was still 15 sept 11:59pm
Recommendation deadline was cited as 14th Sept 11:59pm. Check if it has been extended, but I don’t think it has.
