Interviews with alumni are usually weighted with a certain percentage, as is the case with all parts of your profile, including your academic background, GMAT/GRE, overall work profile or professional history. Contrary to what many applicants think about ISB or any other school, interviews alone, and that too with alumni, are rarely the reason applicants are rejected unless they have botched the interviews to such an extent that the rest of their application, which may also fail to impress, can't make up for the loss. Maybe someone can shed more light on this, but I'm assuming that the weight attributed to the ISB interview is less than what the school assigns overall to academic performance and the GMAT/GRE. So you know what to focus on if you don't have a lot of differentiating factors to back you up. And in the cases where you hear about people with low GMAT scores getting in, the weight of the profile components is distributed in such a way that the low GMAT score can't affect the overall strength of the applicant's profile. So before applicants sit down to work on their applications, they need to look at the various aspects of their profile holistically and find opportunities to score points in each area. The importance of the GMAT and solid preparation for the interview are two areas that are often underestimated when it comes to ISB.
