Hi, according to the website, they will roll out the calls 5-7 days before the date. So Delhi people might have to wait till 5th of Oct :)

An important announcement!

Hi all,

We have collaborated with an admission consultant to have a chat session about the preparation of interviews on the 6th of Oct.
We would also have an ISB alum on board.

But we can go ahead with the session only if we have a sufficient number of applicants in the chat room.
So request you all to wake up from your slumber and post here.

I would take a note of the number of members posting here and then based on the number of responses, we can go ahead with the session

Regards,
Ankur

Hopefully ,


Also hope they dont delay after 5, as 5 and 6 are holidays ,
Lets see what happens , fingers crossed , the wait is definitely the worst part of the process and I dont feel like preparing anything before I get a call.

And about the chat sessions ,I am in (if I get a call) , never attended such session here on the club , How do we join , please brief the process.

Best of luck to you too, 8-) :)

Regards

I was rejected after the ISB interview 3 years back.

Now that I have your attention, I wanted to highlight what I did wrong during that time, and thus what you should avoid:
1. Keep your calm during the interview: I didn't. I was jittery and nervous. Since I was one of the younger applicants (2 yrs work ex), I think the interviewers were testing how I could handle stress.
2. Don't over-prepare: I know it's counter-intuitive but don't spend too much time preparing - this is not the UPSC. If you over-prepare, your mind gets tricked into believing that this is some impossible task. You need to convince yourself that it's just a 30 min conversation.
3. The 4-5 "must-prepare" questions should be spot-on: This is not contradictory to point 2 above. The Why MBA/Why ISB/Why now/Goals/Introduce yourself will be asked and you have no excuse not to prepare for these. But (hopefully) you already know the answers to these.
4. It's not the end of the world: I got rejected and I won't lie - it sucked. Now, things aren't that bad; (caution: bragging ahead) earlier this year, I got accepted into Wharton, Kellogg, INSEAD and withdrew after interviewing from Booth and LBS. You should definitely give it your best shot but bear in mind that ISB (or any other school) is not a necessary or sufficient condition for success. Sure, the stakes are high but you need to avoid the paranoia by accepting that there will be things you can't control.

I'll stop my rant now. Reviewing this, it seems more of a Philosophy 101 discourse than a b-school interview guide. I feel old.

Feel free to reach out for any specifics.
Abhishek.
