The portal shows 95% of the application is complete.... I don’t see anything that I have missed and only LOR submission is yet to be done by my recommender... Can I go ahead and still submit the application or I need to wait for the LOR submission to be done before me submitting the application?

I am assuming you intend to say 5th September.

Please do not raise hopes like this PhenomMBA. What if Akshara already has an 805? In that case, there would be no further scope of any higher score ;).

Hi - That’s so great to hear! Yes, I did write it in a centre (Jaipur, no Ggn), but waiting for R2 is going to delay this by a lot since I am only planning to apply to ISB this year so want to sort it out early. Having just 3 business days left is kinda worrying for me right now.
I have the rest of the application also ready so lets see. Trying to get in touch with the people from ISB.

P.S. Got a 695, so hoping it doesnt go down if not up lol.

I had a query regarding the resume format. I have created the resume in the format given but it is slightly longer than 1 page. Should it fit in 1 page or is it ok for it to be slightly longer??

Hmm..not sure...could it be because the payment is not complete as yet kumarashishh?

­Your LoR does not need to necessarily reach ISB before you submit your application (if that was your question).

­Almost immediately krispy289. Your recommender will receive an email.

If (s)he has not received it, ask him/her to check the spambox.

My priority would be to reduce the content. However, if it still doesn’t fit on one page or if content reduction isn’t preferred, adjusting margins or condensing the data (Ctrl+D) would be acceptable. I wouldn’t recommend reducing the font size, as it might affect readability.

I got a mail from admissions that recommender has been rejected because of one of three reasons- I think one reason was the email has domain name of parent company while in the organization I wrote subsidiary company

­Oh in that case, I really don't know what the solution is :?.

You might want to call up ISB regarding this (and also drop a mail to them simultaneously), since there is so little time left.

­Don't think so; it is not a sarkaari office :).

At any time of the year, if the Adcom works over-time, it should be now.

I had given TOEFL and gotten a good score in it 114/120 but don’t know the Essay score separately. Writing score is 26/30 and I asked TOEFL if they tell the raw Essay score but they don’t. What should I fill in the TOEFL Essay score section?? It needs to be filled in and can’t be left blank. Asked this on Got Queries and they said fill in 1 and send the official report. It’s not necessary for me to report the TOEFL score as Undergraduate was from India and medium of education was English.
