S4G, sorry to annoy you with this, but would really appreciate if you could share the information you received from isb adcom in your session today on this platform/thread. As we've been getting lots of different answers,would really help those of us waiting anxiously get some clarity!
Posted from my mobile device Paraphrasing here but some points that were mentioned in the Q&A:
- Some applications haven't been processed. They'll be doing so in the next 15-20 days. GMAT and GRE are taking time to verify and send the scores to the school.
- By mid-April, wait-listed students will get info about their status.
- Especially for YLP: Next round of interviews will start on and around the 8th of January. In the 1st, 2nd and 3rd weeks of Jan, they'll try completing all the interviews. Once interviews are completed, the results will be declared in a week or so. There will be no rolling results for YLP. All of us will get our results by mid-February. - Placements are happening in an online manner this time. No in-person interviews on campus this time. [Class of 2021]
- 11 exchange programs open for Class of 2021. More will open up in the next year due to Covid and everything.
- Personalized feedbacks won't be possible right now - on rejections as well as waitlists. After March you can reach out to them for the feedback and you'll get so by sending in your application number and asking for it, over April-May-June.
- Even after your interview, the interview isn't the only deciding factor - your profile score and interview score are combined to see if you're included in the cohort
- Your best GMAT / GRE score will be considered. Even if you've scored the same score twice with a different break-up, they'll consider the higher score for each section.
- Extracurriculars done in the recent past have greater weightage than something you've done back in 10th grade.
- For prefinal year applicants that want to apply again, next year's Stage 1 deadline is March 28th.
- DON'T SELF REJECT YOURSELF. IF YOU MEET THE CRITERIA THEY HAVE DECIDED, THEY WILL OFFER YOU A SEAT. PERIOD.
S4G do correct me if I'm wrong somewhere. Thank you for conducting the session! It was really helpful!
