If you want a generic feedback, write to them. The feedback may or may not be actionable. Else try to find out some contact there . As a director of admissions, I stopped this feedback practice because we were not able to give detailed feedback to so many applicants, so it was not serving real purpose.

Thanks

Can someone tell me how to get feedback from ISB regarding last year’s admission rejection?

This really resonates sir. and honestly it makes a lot of sense from the inside-out. What many dinged ISB applicants get wrong is expecting feedback to be diagnostic but in my discussions with applicants, at scale, this only seems to be directional at best. So a lot of the dinged applicants end up taking generic comments and trying to fix surface-level things, sometimes even overcorrecting in the wrong areas. It is way more helpful to have more targeted, human conversations with alumni, current students, industry experts/recruiters or even someone who understands how these applications are read. The quality of such insight will be far richer and far more actionable.

Absolutely. You should. The aspect of recovering physically and emotionally post the accident and how that has transformed you should be highlighted

Hi Apple_Sweet The school will definitely look at the overall picture and consider your health situation leading to a long career gap. But I would want you to come more face to face with the challenges you may face hereon to prepare yourself better. I just want to be very frank about how the adcoms think about the applicants they want to take in. They definitely have a preference for candidates who can manage to turn things around on their own rather than relying solely on the MBA program, because otherwise, that would also put pressure on the school to deliver satisfactory career outcomes after MBA completion.
So in your case specifically, now that you feel ready to come back to the corporate sector, have you actively looked or been looking for professional opportunities? Where are you with that? I know a lot of people will tell you to be very vocal about how you have gained meaningful experience on your own time or through extracurriculars, but the key question still remains whether you have been able to find any part-time or full-time professional opportunities that take you closer to your MBA goals, knowledge-wise or experience-wise.
Proof that you are very hands-on with the skills required for post-MBA roles, and that recruiters find your skills and ideas useful (from recent part-time or full-time work), is key to converting an MBA admit. Happy to speak more should you want my perspective.
