I just got the following from a mail from ISB.
"Please note that the evaluation form has to be submitted by your evaluator/s, as early as possible, for your application to be considered. While it is always good to have it submitted by Nov 30, for Round-2, we will consider receiving the completed evaluation till Dec 10, 2014."
I'm considering working on the recommendations after Nov 30 and spend the additional time on essays. I hope there is no bias towards people whose recommendations are submitted after Nov 30. Please suggest.
