yes.. male or female, nothing matters when you have 675... no rejection comes from ISB at any score above 645.

Any rejection with a decent score is a chance to reflect on what went wrong and it’s guaranteed that something did...

It could be
Goals (My bets bet)
Essays in totality
Very poor Academic (not usual for most applicants)

Curious to know why you feel goals is the key culprit here? ISB didn’t specifically ask for goals in any of the essays - so do you mean to say that people mentioned goals without being asked to or they got their articulation of goals wrong?
Essay-2 is a chance to share goals... I think it’s good to mention the goal to build a narrative on why MBA along with sharing intellectual experiences with anecdotes...

Quote:

hey, just wanted to ask if not being asked about post mba goals in interview is a red flag of any sort for the applicant?
I won’t say that.. but it’s unusual of interviewers not asking the questions around goals... (in ISB interview)

Don't agree at all.

Your best bet goals, many people I know didn't even write goals in the second essay and got calls . So the goal isn't the issue certainly
Not mentioning it doesn’t bring rejection.. but mentioning wrong goal might bring rejection. Use common sense please before using unnecessary harsh disagreement.

Those were best guesses without knowing what he wrote in application.
