All the best guys.
As a second time applicant, I know exactly what today feels like. The moment you hear that results are rolling out, your heart just sinks and you start refreshing your inbox like your entire life depends on that one mail. And when it finally lands, it suddenly feels like this single moment will decide your whole career.
But it won’t. It never does.
ISB is huge, no doubt, but it’s not the finish line of life. With a selection rate of less than 10% and even lower if you are a *male engineer*, the odds are brutal for everyone. So if someone does not make it today, it’s not a verdict on their worth. It just means the story needs one more chapter. That’s all.
Please don’t be hard on yourself. Don’t let this consume you. It’s still just a college. One result cannot define a dream, and it definitely cannot define a person.
I am just as anxious as all of you. But I genuinely believe this. There is always light at the end of the tunnel. And wherever we end up, we will land on our feet.
Hope we all make it. And even if we don’t, we will make it somewhere else and it will still work out.
Cheers.
