Hi,

Does the probability of selection differs if we apply in R1 or R2 for ISB?
Also how much role does extra curriculars play in the selection criteria apart from GMAT score,Essays,LOR and work ex?

If a candidate is good at something at state level/national level but in school. Does that count?

I've been told that having an overall great profile with Good grades + Decent GMAT/GRE Score + Other qualities help the candidate with a great chance with ISB. Although social volunteering activities because of the pandemic for a lot of the applicants have been impacted. Have the AdComs changed any criteria w.r.t. volunteering experience of a candidate in the past admission process?

Can you please shed some light on the opportunities that applicants from non-tech backgrounds have to be able to convert to more tech+strategy roles such as product management?

Is it too late for someone with 9+ years of Engineering work experience to apply to ISB? How would you rate the chances of such candidates and what such candidates need to have in their profiles to have a decent chance?

I'm interested in knowing about the product management roles ISB students get into? Do you think someone with 34 months of experience at the time of program commencement will be able to move into this role? Also, what is the amount of experience do the Product Management hiring companies look for when they come for hiring? Do they have requirements that are based on educational qualification like CS/IT Engineer only or people who have software development experience?

Thanks!

Hello,

1) Does a gap of 6-8 months between the previous job and college application affect an applicant's chances of admission? If yes, then how would it affect their chances and what other criteria would be looked into in such a case?
2) Which MBA specialty would you suggest someone who has worked in a creative field but would like to try their hand at entrepreneurship in another field, say FMCG?
3) Are there any profile preferences for LORs?
