deveshgombar, aryastarkk it's nice to see that both of you are leveraging the power of the community. May I request you to kindly share your interview debrief here- https://gmatclub.com/forum/isb-204/inte ... brief.html

I'm certain that this will help the rest of the community members; thank you!

Hi i also applied eeo r2 and got rejected. Can you please share your profile details and your score so that i can assess what lacked in my application for my next attempt.

aryastarkk

I applied in R2 and got the admit on feb 5. I have less than 2 yrs of experience (applied through EEO) and got the admission for class of 2022 (starting from april 2021). Is there anybody who applied through EEO and got the admission for class of 2021 itself?

Can anybody explain this. I received a mail that the admission committee at ISB has decided to put the candidature for a further review. What does this mean? Do I still have a chance?

This means you are waitlisted. Yes, you still have a chance.

Waitlisted without interview? I was under the impression that they would interview us first.

Mailed to adcom regarding update after R3 interview. Got a reply saying I should wait until 25 Feb for update. Waiting is the worst part as you can nothing else at this point.

Hi All,

I have a question. Does ISB send out rejection mails? I applied for R3 and I am yet to receive any updates.

Thanks!

I am not sure that ISB would be sending invites for R3 now. Most if not all interviews are probably already conducted.

Though Adcom is still saying there will be invites till 22nd Feb, which is hard to believe.
Too hard to say anything as speculations will do no good to applicants.

Yes. They are painfully slow. But they usually wait till the last day to update about admit/waitlist.

I believe all of you, who are waiting for results, would have replayed the interview on loop in your head.
Has anyone had a consistent feeling from the interview till today? like you find interview went well after each introspection, or you think it could have been better or may be both the feelings.
Point here is how can one be positive about this whole process and how do you decide if your interview went good(based on your introspection and other's thoughts on your performance)?

Don't know about everyone but for me it's been a nightmare waiting for update. I have been replaying my interview and for the most part I am satisfied with my answers but I found better answers for some questions or a better way to answer some of the questions. My overall feeling is that I did ok but I could have done better. Not complete satisfaction.

I believe it's human tendency to think how everything could have been better in retrospective. Only if you could know what exactly the panel is looking for, things would be clearer. Thanks for sharing. Good luck!!
