As former Director of Admissions at ISB, I can assure you there is no difference in terms of Rounds. This is most common misconception applicants have.

All rounds are same in terms of competitiveness and difficulty level. So go ahead and apply.

Best !

Hi suntdistinctio,

ISB maintains that they do not differentiate. So, please apply when you feel most ready.

Should you feel the need for a detailed profile evaluation, we encourage you to reach out to us for a free strategy session.

All the best!

Dear suntdistinctio,

Your chances as an applicant do not realistically diminish if you apply in R3 instead of R2, as ISB has time and again confirmed. However, one practical challenge that remains for R3 applicants is that the time between the release of admits and the start of the program is quite short. This often leaves professionals with limited time to make a decision, resign, transition and join the campus.

That said, if your profile and essays are strong, your chances remain very much intact, and several candidates have successfully made it to ISB through Round 3 in previous years. We would be glad to understand your profile better and provide more personalized guidance on how to approach your application most effectively.

Please feel free to book a 15 minute free session for a detailed discussion with us: https://calendly.com/reachusfly/15min

With warm regards,
Team FLY
