See this is exactly why I wanted to clarify my background, and also mention I am a female non-engineer with 2 other professional degrees. I would request others to not take this example as a sign to think 615 is a good GMAT score to apply, unless you can make your application very very strong and have a similar background. I have an overkill background that is not the usual thing ISB Adcoms see (Actuaries are really less in MBA). My application conversion to interview was ATLEAST 15% luck. Hence, please aim for 645 minimum.

Is 615 safe for R3?

Thank you!! For 3, I have exactly been looking for anyone who can take practice interviews for me.

WA@jst4564

1- no effect. Interviewers don’t have scores. They’ll have everything else though, including lor
2- primary goal of isb interviews is to assess your career progression, communication, clarity of goals, leadership values and self awareness
3- varies. Since your interview is hardly a week away, most mock interviews won’t exceptionally add value anymore to you unless you are making some very basic mistakes. Tbh, looking at your communication skills here, doesnt feel like you’ll require extensive coaching. Instead, I’d suggest practising with R1 admits or other applicants in this group just to get in the groove.
4- has been addressed by others.

Hey I could be wrong but I think YLP program is for those who are in last year of college. From this description, it seems like you already graduated. If you are working already, expectation may be to have 2 years of work experience now and apply for PGP. However, someone can correct me if I am wrong.

Hi all, here is my profile:
10th: 9.8 CGPA
12th: 90.4%
B.Tech: 7.07 CGPA

I also did a diploma in Data Science. I currently work in an IT services company, but my job has nothing to do with IT. I support ESG Operations. I also recently acquired an ESG related certificate.

This is my first time giving GMAT and ISB is the only school I’d like to get into. What score should I aim for and how is my profile?

Virtual interviews - 3rd/4th and 24th/25th Jan

Hi there,
I received an interview invite (Mumbai) for 10th January. My GMAT score was only 615.
I had some questions if people who have given interviews already and other consultants here can answer please:

1. What can I expect from the interview basis my low GMAT score - should I expect a very standard treatment or could they be harsher? Does the interview panel have access to my GMAT score or just my Resume/Essays/Application?
2. For people who gave interviews, irrespective of whether you got accepted or not, which interview question was the hardest to answer or something you feel you messed up?
3. If I want an interview consultation/mock interviews - what kind of budget to expect and if I have a tight budget, whom can I approach for help with interview and on the spot essays?
4. Most frequently asked on the spot essays? How to prepare for the on the spot essays? (I know it has been asked many times on this forum but it is tough to search the forum)
Sharing a recent conversation here with one of our mentees currently at ISB who talks about the process and prep strategy in detail

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yK2R_PLNveA

More of such raw conversations with ISB admits are available at the link below:

Did anybody’s IIMA and ISB dates clash?
It does clash every year for some folks. Difficult to get it rescheduled. You can hear the experience first hand from one of our mentees who had a ISB vs IIMA clash in Jan last year
