Hi all, I hope you are doing fine.

Yesterday was a very peculiar day. I got a rejection email from ISB's YLP Adcom. This was just stage one. I had been rejected last year as well. So now I want to decide if I should apply for EEO option in the coming month or not. I am fairly confident that the only thing hindering my application is my grades. 10th - 9.8 CGPA, 12th - 89.4%, Graduation is 7.8 in 1st year followed by a dip in 2nd and 3rd year - 6.9 and 6.8 respectively. Though by the end of 4th year I am fairly certain I'll land at 7.25 as my final CGPA. Being rejected in stage 1 itself didn't feel good at all because I see all my friends get in. I am no one to judge but am fairly certain that my overall profile was no less if not tad bit better than some others given I had a lot of stuff to talk about apart from academics. ( I also took professional help for the essay this time around )

So anyway, I just wanted some honest opinions if I should try the EEO option given that it is also academically oriented.

PK98 I am curious what is EEO?

EEO is Early Entry Option, it's another deferred program for the admission into ISB's PGP program. You are eligible for it if you have a work-ex of fewer than 24 months.
