any ca dropouts applying to ISB this year..wanted to discuss if they are mentioning that story in there essays
Academic stories are not the best stories to write in essays unless you are running out of options.

How does ISB consider re-applicants, do the interviewers/adcom compare our previous essays & resume against the new one?
They have asked a reapplicant essay to avoid this hard task of reading previous application. However they are free to do that if they are keen

It will ask... but don’t worry about it... own what you have done regardless of proof...

Many pro bono don’t have proof but they are regarded...

considering all the things we write in the application - especially about work ex projects and extra-curriculars, how do we get the proofs for the information, assuming we get an admit?

I am not being able to add 2 current employment roles - one full-time and the other part-time. They are also not letting me add a future date of 31st March, 2026 as my part-time role would be continuing till then. Any suggestions on what can be done? Thanks!

They verify work-ex with your salary slips/offer letters etc and they don’t generally verify extra curriculars unless it’s a pretty big deal (think Olympic Medals).
Yes, i understand they would verify basic employment details, but when we mention the projects and impact created, how would they verify that?

Will there be ant significant impact for not attempting the optional essay ?! Considering I’m a reapplicant and from a highly competitive admission pool ( Consulting, Engineer )
Hi WA@mjv3206, Its always advisable in any competition to do better than others. Optional essay will be written by most of the applicants, if not everyone. Unless you have extra ordinary reason for not writing 250 words, you should not skip it. This essay provides you a way to express additional aspects of your personality and it should not be ideally missed.

Impact is immeasurable.

Think in this way, how would you feel about a candidate who is given an opportunity to impress and yet he prefers to remain silent. 😀

That’s you if you write nothing in Optional
