rish2jain · Answer

Hey everyone!
How did your essays go? What do you think about our chances and the weight of the GMAT score and essays individually? Do you know any other people who were shortlisted for stage 2?

saptak1990 · Answer

If your GMAT score is in the mid-80% range (680-760), I don't think there is much difference. Rather, essays will be much much more important. I know quite a lot of people from my university who have been shortlisted for Stage-2. Nervous moments... 5 days till notification

saptak1990 · Answer

rish2jain · Answer

neerajsenguttuvan · Answer

Hi guys,

Do we need to bring our transcripts/originals for the interview. N wat do you thk of the case-analysis
Any idea as to how many got an intrvw call n how many seats r there?

saptak1990 · Answer

I think it'll be better to bring the originals for verification, even if it's not specifically mentioned. Acc. to different sources, the no. of interview calls is probably between 220 & 308. No. of seats is probably 10% of their class size (770), as was mentioned in our campus presentation.

neerajsenguttuvan · Answer

Hey this but 220-300 is quite a big no considering that they generally have a 2-1 ratio btwn the guys who r called for the interview n the guys who make it.

saptak1990 · Answer

nope, that's the case for most global b-schools. but, ISB has a ratio of 1:5 in interview stage.

neerajsenguttuvan · Answer

This n have you applied fr the 2+2?

saptak1990 · Answer

contemplating round 1... what about you?

neerajsenguttuvan · Answer

Will be applying in rd2 after I get the ISB results

saptak1990 · Answer

all the best
