Hello All,

I have an unused essay + interview package for ISB from CareerEdge, and want to transfer it to someone who’s interested in applying to ISB.

They’re one of the best admissions consultants when it comes to helping people achieve their ISB dream.

Please DM for more details. Best of luck for your journey!

Aren’t they providing you with a refund if it’s completely unused?

Is there a chance that we might get interview invites around Diwali, i.e November, or the interviews will be done before that? And does ISB conduct interviews on Sundays also?

Actually alums take most of the interviews rishit30. So, weekends work best for them.

Since alums would have very limited availability around Diwali, it is unlikely that interview invites will be rolled out around Diwali. For the most part, I am thinking R1 interviews should be done by then.

I have not yet received any mail for the processing of my application yet.
Does anyone know any timeline to receive the mail?

Keep checking the portal, they might put a comment on the application tracker if any of your documents is missing or needs to be re-uploaded

We (a bunch of GRE/ GMAT aspirants and ex-startup founders) have been working on a pertinent problem that the aspirants of standardised test takers face. These exams (GRE, GMAT) are expensive, and the current exam process offers no financial protection. If a test taker unfortunately scores poorly, they lose all their money.

To address this we have come up with a unique test score insurance model for standardised tests where students can get partial refunds for low scores and rewards for high ones. The idea is to ease the financial burden of these expensive exams and not let high fees and risk of financial loss deter students.

We have set up a simple website & waitlist for anyone interested in knowing more and getting early access.

Here’s the link: https://frexam.com/

We would really love to hear your thoughts or feedback and get this off the ground.

Ps - The product is going to be launched in partnership with an IRDAI registered insurance company. So this is genuinely us trying to solve something and help

// No intention of spamming or trying out promotional content, we are just trying to understand the scope and dimension of this, TIA

This is an amazing product
Just one suggestion, Do put up the percentile/score for the refund range

Hey guys, MBA Conquerors is running a free DIY Project where we’re taking a roleplay approach under which we take a very popular TV/Movie character and use them as an example for helping people understand how to create essential components of MBA Applications like Resume, Essays, LORs etc., Here is a link if you wanna see it- https://www.mbaconquerors.com/diy . For ISB, I am not able to find a good Indian Movie character that people can find more relatable. (I am not going into the TV shows, all that overreaction and dumtananana and all is just too much) So, wanted all y’all’s perspective, who would you prefer us do (DM plz, I don

While I have not looked at this form as yet, I am pretty sure that you should have scores at the time of submitting the form (not necessarily while filling the form) srishti1702.
