I intend to give GMAT and apply for B-schools, ISB is one of them. I have been reading some profile evaluation posts on the thread and the more I read, I find an underlying trend. Usually, decent college, decent acads, IT background, n number of extracurriculars, sometimes a stellar GMAT score, maybe throw in some international exposure as well and everyone, in the end, wants to mostly enter a consulting domain or consulting domain and then start up something. It looks like a swarm of identical bots trying to go into a production line to get stamped by ISB and then go out into the market tagged as Management consultants.
I may be taking a nihilistic/ negative view here, but is this all this is about? Maybe it is. At 39LPA fees, the highest priority which any average applicant would have on his/her mind is to get rid of the debt burden, asap but honestly reading through 2-3 pages of profile evaluation is enough to give you a feeling of just being a speck- a cog in the wheel, another guy, another score, a desperate attempt to sell your certificates to ad-comm so that you secure admission to rush out and make money so that you can pay off your debt. HA!
Valid point. Look every B school has their own strengths and recruiter relationships. Everyone goes to a top B school to progress their career.
Since the cost of education + cost of opportunity is indeed high, ROI is and will be a big factor when it comes to school selection.
