Hey anyone here who got their profile evaluated by the adcom. Was infact encouraged to apply for scholarship and all that jazz and is yet waiting a call ??
Called adcom. Calls will be rolled out until Sunday . Not more than that . Humble request to ISB- announce interview shortlists on one day like other colleges instead of dragging on the process . Lot of uncertainty in a lot of our minds .
Hang in there guys, calls are still rolling albiet via phone in my case. Last min dramas are never out of fashion 😂
For folks who have received interview invites, did the status of the online application change to something like "Invited to interview" or was there no change?
Just got the email for a skype interview on 28th nov
Finally got the interview call . Scheduled on 28th via Skype.
P.S - I am an international applicant .
So now calls will be sent on weekend or on monday?
Does it give a bad impression if i did not ask any questions at the completion of the interview when asked for it ? Does it reduce my chances of a convert ?
Interview done!
3 alumnis, very friendly atmosphere.
The entire interview was around my profile and career plans. And what's written in the essay. They know how to cross check by way of subtle questions.
Overall, be yourself, use your presence of mind. Don't panic. When you don't know something, accept it. I am sure they will appreciate it.
All the best!!
how many are called for the interview in Phase 1?
Just got done with my interview about an hour back. The panel was running about fifty minutes late. 3 alumni from Co2010 (Entrepreneur), Co2013(Real estate) and Co2015(Analytics) 1. Tell us about your company and your work progression there since joining ( the company I work for is new in India despite being 100 years old and I've worked at only one company) 2. What were your learnings from your global work experience? 3. Tell us an instance where there was a conflict in your team and what you did to resolve it. 4. What is your leadership style like? 5. Why MBA at this stage when you've had amazing growth at this company? 6. Dream job post MBA from ISB 7. How did stand up comedy happen ( had mentioned it prominently in the essay)? 8. Most difficult thing in stand up comedy in India 9. Plan B if you don't get your dream job at ISB. Also, can't you try for it without MBA? 10. Any questions for us About 25-30 minutes. Very supportive panel. A couple of questions to understand my first answers.
Has people got the invite for 28th 29th and 30th dates or yet to be given??
My skype interview is scheduled for 27th 2:40 to 3:10 PM. If there is anyone who wants to switch their 28th or 29th slots with me please let me know. I am travelling on 27th and have requested for rescheduling but not sure if my request will be accepted. Please do let me know if anyone is interested.
How many of us here are still waiting for an invite from ISB? Looking at the qunatum of invites here, it seems they try to interview as many people as possible.
How much is the ISB intake for R1? (taking into consideration that they have YLP and EEO admits too each year).
Is it a sharp 50-50 split between R1 and R2?
anyone applied with a GRE score and got a call ?
Any person (applied with GRE socre) who falls into the EEO category got an interview call?
My interview got over a few minutes ago. Not sure if the panel had adcom member. The interview started directly with a question related to my achievements and the impact of it (the end result achieved). Then the panel asked me suggestions that I could make for 3 scenarios related to my industry. Following this, one member asked me about my short term goal and then wht critical feedback have I received from my manager. The interview ended with a question on a social service activity that I had mentioned in my essay 1. Overall, the interview lasted for about 35-40 minutes.
There were not many cross-questions nor did they try to drill me. But everyone other interviewees) felt the same that it was more a conversation.
There were a few applicants who did not receive the invite but were present for the interview. They got an invite over a phone call just one day before the final interview day. Such cases however would be very rare.
Mohali calls today??
How many are waitlisted in Cycle 1? And what is the last waitlist number which converts usually?
