ISB Class of 2014 aspirants.

No calls for interviews yet !! waitin waitin

Dear Puys,


I have a question regarding ISB Essay 3? Is it absolutely mandatory to explain any gaps in education. I had a one year drop in Engg after 2nd year. And engg % overall is 55.2%.

Having said that, I have 730 on GMAT and almost 5 years of work-ex in Siemens and I have used the essays to effectively highlight my accomplishments in my career and personal development since my engg days. I want the adcom to judge me by what I am today and not my engg days without making any excuse for below par performance in engg.

Kindly advise!!!

I think it is essential to explain a gap. But if you can give a positive turn to it your essays then it can be covered.. Highlight few things that you did during that gap and how it helped you etc.. If you do not explain it then it might reflect badly on your application..

HI

Hi Puys....I am unable to see other posts in this thread....any clues????


can anybody tellme what happened to this thread.............why is suddenly all the posts were lost

did anybody get an IV call?

@nik864u - Yes boss... I am in.... I leave at Thane-Mulund belt...Would be available on Saturday and Sunday...ping me your preferred time and place

How often does ISB contact the recommenders and when..after the i/v or before the i/v??

They'll be contacted before the interview, the input from them is important in deciding if you would be called for interview or not! Typically they would be contacted only once but they might get reminders if the deadline is approaching.

@singhsid I wanted to ask weather after submitting the Reco..are the recommenders contacted by ISB ovet the phone or e-mail...

got the verification email today. now the long wait starts!

Guys still anyone remaining to get the verification mail?
