ISB Class of 2014 aspirants.

@sudhir3127 me too waiting for verification mail :(

Me too...This is very unISB to delay things. I wonder what is delaying the matters

I wonder why is ISB taking so long to give the verification mails this time around 😲

no response yet but its relieving that i am not alone

first is the wait for the verification, then for the interview call, then for the actual interview and finally for the results. This will continue till 15th Nov .. only the 'thing' would change.


Didn't wanted to sound dramatic but if you guys lose cool so early ... its just the beginning.
Puys to kill the anxiety, start with the interview preparation. Go through the last year interview experiences. Read your essays inside out and draw out possible questions from them. Get clarity on Why MBA/ ISB/ Me and your goals. Research on the profile/ industry you intend to enter. People who have shown interest in advisory/ consultancy, expect some question on case study.

PS - I was dinged after being interviewed last year.
Guys.. one strange query....
Actually one of my potential evaluator who was a previous supervisor is planning to retire voluntarily (VRS in a PSU setup) in a month or so. He will not have access to his official mail id thereafter. But I would be in touch with him through phone. He is a man of immense knowledge and experience but is not at all tech-savvy (given the old PSU setup he has worked for major part of his life) and I am not sure whether that he would even keep a personal mail id. Given his close working relationship with me he is the best suited person to recommend me.
Are the evaluators actually contacted after evaluation/application is submitted.
Whats the degree to which they actually contact evaluators post application?

Go for offline recommendation with him

y is the google doc empty??

@hk123 : You have the option of offline evaluation form. Check under Evaluation section in application for all details.

Not sure about ISB, but during admissions, Adcoms do generally contact the evaluators to seek any further clarifications if they want hence it is imperative to have the evaluator contact details to as much accuracy as possible.

Irrespective of the web browser, Pagalguy site seems to occupying a lot of memory (CPU Mem touches 100% often) and taking lot of time to load, seeing this from past few weeks. Anybody else seems to be facing similar issue?

😞 Yeah !!! :O

Some moron has again screwed up the spreadsheet !!! Anyone has a backup?

@fighterlives yes i also faced the same issue

I restored the spreadsheet to the last correct version... Njoy guys πŸ˜ƒ

@fighterlives Thanks for your reply....
However is it possible that after signing the printed evaluation form and sealing in envelope, the evaluator sends me the evaluation back for forwarding to ISB Office in ? This would help me in ensuring that he has completed the formalities as required.
@sudhir3127 i'm still waiting for the veri mail :/

agree!

I think this time the addition of the video essay has created an extra overhead for the ADCOM and that's the reason for the delay in the verification mails and subsequent delay in the interview calls..

Another interesting and curious thought is whether they would still continue to have the short essay writing just before the interview starts... By the way I never understood the purpose of having that short essay right before the interview... and how/whether it added any significant value to the application...
This would anyways be clear once we have the first puy sharing his/her IV exp.... another week or two to go...!
