Same here. Got rejected without an interview invite and applied with GRE score.

But I don’t think that’s the reason. I know few who got in with GRE score

ISB doesn't discriminate between the two tests. In general, if you're in the average range (~720/~327), you should be good.

Rest, it would depend on your profile and quality of the application.

Cheers,

Hi Riya1912

With your work ex range and timelines, I’d also recommend you to consider the IIMs (A/B) if India is the geography you have in mind. In case you want to do ISB and IIMs, would recommend you to check out MentoringSquar (https://www.mentoringsquare.com/).

No. It is NOT a disadvantage at all.

Hi Everyone,

I am a reapplicant who is looking for consultants to help me with my ISB application. I have over 4.5yrs experience across digital marketing and have applied via GRE last year.

Unfortunately was rejected without an interview invite.

It would be really helpful to know your suggestions regarding any good consultants that can help me with my application/essays + brainstorming for my goals and making a strong candidature for the next intake.

P.S. I heard DreamSchoolAdmit and GoalISB are good options.

Thanks in advance!

Hello Riya1912,

In case you are still looking for help, please feel free to get in touch with us for a free profile evaluation. Happy to help.

All the best!
