Hi. There's a separate profile evaluation page. All profile related discussions should be confined to that. Can moderators please have a look into this?

Hi,
As we all know that the ISB R2 deadline is Dec 15, 2018. Do we have to submit our official GMAT score with our application??. The FAQ section mentions that we can do so(submit with 'unofficial' score) and the official GMAT score should reach ISB within 3 weeks.
My question is that can we submit our application with 'unofficial' GMAT score on such a date before Dec 15 such that the official score reachs after Dec 15 but within 3 weeks of expected time? Lets say I submit my application with unofficial score on Dec 8, 2018 and the official score reaches on or before Dec 29, 2018.

Please if anyone could help.
Also kindly correct me if I have an incorrect perception as above.
Thanks.

Yes, please go ahead and apply with unofficial score card.

It generally takes less than two weeks for GMAC to report score to schools.

Weren't the total number of applications 1200-1500?
1200 seems a really high number for interviews?

Posted from my mobile device


nope.. each city had 200-300 interviews
easily 1200 interviews

I was interviewed on 12th in Delhi and the adcom actually explained a lot of things to us (in the room) about the number of panels for 13th and 14th. The list is below:

12th - 6 Panels
13th - 16 Panels
14th - 16 Panels

Now the thing to note is that Number of Panels on 12th was small because not many alums can take an off on a Friday. The EXPECTED number of panels for 13th and 14th was as shown above but it was not set in stone. If an alum (or few alums) decide not to show up, the school can literally do nothing but to add the load to those who appeared. But we can still use these numbers for guesstimation ->

40 mins per Interview starting at 10am and ending at 6pm with 1 hour lunch..

So, that's 10 interviews per panel (as calculated earlier) but

16*10*2 + 6*10 = 380 interviews in Delhi.

Hi, thanks for the reply but I just want to be sure with my inference. So you are saying that one can, not that he/she should, apply with the test center's unofficial GMAT score for the R2 deadline on or before 14/15 Dec, provided the test was given on or before Dec 14/15, 2018.
Please correct me if I interpreted it wrong.
Thanks.

I got interviewed on 14th and they interviewed 80 that day.

Also, I have not heard of anyone getting interviewed between 1-10 Nov.. seems like a marketing gimmick

Or maybe they have kept this window open to interview more people in case they are not able to fill in the min. number they have in mind for round 1 intake.

Hi abhishek893rai,

Just to clear the air.
ISB's R2 deadline is Dec 15 1800 hrs. Applicants need to submit the completed application form[Completed=essays+other details+Gmat Score] by that time.

So you can write your GMAT on 15 th such that you are able to finish your exam, put your unofficial scores(the one that you get at the test centre) in the application form and submit it by 1800 hrs. When you write the actual exam just choose to send the score to ISB.

However, I would advise you not to do that. I personally know many people who scheduled their Gmat on the very last date and the earliest slot but unfortunately they could not attempt it because of some issue in the test centre.
Gmac apologized for the inconvenience and offered to refund the money or reschedule the test(Last minute Technical and Administrative issues do crop up and they are beyond anyone's control).

Of course the interviews are going on.
Its just a matter of reach, a very large chunk of the applicants are not active here. Out of those are, more than half never participate in the discussions.
For example have a look at the Decision Tracker Stats, people do not update it.

Well, there were quite a few updates about mum, delhi, Bangalore interviews. So it's not entirely what you are saying. But that said, interviews are happening as Nikhil just mentioned

In my honest opinion, I think its just a mere coincidence that we do not have many people who were interviewed at Hyd/Mohali participating here.
The actual no of applicants would be greater than 2000, if we consider the ratio of 8:5:1.
However, Decision Tracker says only 184 people applied to R1 :lol:

Ofcourse that is not true. It just happened that almost all the active Junta here was interviewed in Delhi, Mumbai and Bangalore

Ofcourse, and given the way ISB screwed up interviews last year, I dont think any of us can speculate what going to happen next but wait for the results.
Fun Fact: among the massive speculations of Fee hike for the upcoming session. ISB has still not released the revised Fee Schedule !!
