You should start preparing for the R2 Schools but hold onto actual submitting the application till potentially the last date. Hopefully by that time you will have clarity on the R1 results
I only wanted to apply at ISB, and especially at 665 there aren’t a lot of good tier 1 options anyway! Lot of consultants assured me an interview call at my score and with my profile, hence went ahead with ISB in round 1. But yeah, seems like a whole year wasted now

No call yet at 715. Essays and profile I assume are decent enough because got interview/admit at darden and iese
So, until you receive a call pagalpun, we know that the interview cycle is not over for R1 and there is still hope for applicants in R1:).

+1 how about NUS singapore for more finance roles post MBA
I’m actually interested in strategy consulting. I work for a boutique business advisory firm and have had mix of consulting and valuation assignments and have a keen inclination towards consulting. CFA has just helped me understand basics of financial aspects of a business and to polish my valuation skills and enhanced complex problem solving skills.

Hence ISB is my only choice in Asia. And given how bleak job market is in EU i don’t feel like spending a plethora of money just to comeback to India. That being will have to get a score of 695+ to even dream for an admit in LBS/Insead.

Now I feel I should have put my best foot forward and applied w a score better than 665 at ISB in subsequent rounds.

President of my department of management studies, Vice President of my college’s Enactus (won various competitions, headed 2 projects and got various findings for the same), was also a core member of my colleges finance and entrepreneurship cell.


Apart from that I was a pro bono consultant to G20 Indians Disaster Risk Working Group, was also the MC of the meetings held in Gujrat and Mumbai and later coached for the meeting in Chennai!

In college I won various competitions and helped the Enactus society with their first ever National Finish! (Top 15, competing w the likes of IIT D, Iit B, srcc etc)
