can we expect call from ISB with low GRE score and expert conversion if other aspects are good in profile?
You will never know unless you apply...

Idk why official people lie publicly the things by saying all are equal whereas it's so real that they are not!!!

Atleast they must say this that free mocks are way lot easier than paid ones so you must try them before going for the test😅

Actually what they Say might be true

Reason could be

That most practice material of any company is heavily inspired and influenced by the official mock exams... so those questions start feeling seemingly familiar and easy hence the inflated scores etc...

Keeping the difference in level of difficulty between premium and free tests is an age old marketing technique... ChatGPT too uses it 😄

Free version isn’t as smart as paid version it

Hi I am working professional with 4 yrs work ex..I will apply for ISB this year but I am yet to write gmat and will be starting a new role at Big bank in 2 months..how should i align the timelines
Getting done with GMAT at least a month before the deadline is ideal.

There's a consultant named Llewellyn desouza who charges 1+L for one school and is mostly an isb focussed consultant. He claimed 106/111 admits last year and 232/244 admits the year before but I see only 4 current isb students has written recommendation for him last year on his linkedin and there are hardly any feedbacks on GMATclub and reddit.

Did anyone verify these claims or do anyone of you know 20 of his admits in isb last year or anyone who can verify these claims as it's important to verify before paying a bomb

Has Anyone taken GRE at home recently?
Since this is an ISB forum, it might be appropriate to keep in mind that ISB does not accept "at home" examination results (for GRE or for GMAT).

I have 4 recommendations from ISB alone on P&Q and LinkedIn and I don’t work with 100 students in a year. 😆

It’s not possible for me (or anyone) to personally discuss every aspect of application with those many candidates. And personalisation is the most important ingredient of Admissions consulting services 🙂

Hi everyone. I’m about to give my second attempt for gmat as I didn’t get my target score in the first attempt. However, I’ve exhausted all my official mocks (with repeat attempts) & 15 mocks from experts global.

Does anyone have any other recommendations for mocks that are good?
GC tests are the only tests that are left for you to do then 😁

Any tests other than them are not worth at the moment

He’s a scam. Worked with him last year, paid 1.5L. Very standardised and methodical. Don’t expect personalization, video interviews nothing. He just conducts 2 interviews over call, that’s it. You can’t call him anytime and mainly is reachable on email. I seriously don’t know why there’s not so much chatter around this guy - he’s A BIG SCAM

Did you convert?

Also the number which he shared last year 106/111 converted isb with him, is that even close?
