Hey Congrats to everyone who got calls!!!!
Is it I or everyone else has observed that the people getting calls are having avg experience of 3 years??
I hope that is the case otherwise my chances are gone.

Hi Puys

Just wanted to sahre my exp..
applied in R1 ISB, got a call and i/v was scheduled today(Oct 13th)
Was interviewed by three alums... all the questions were about experiences and social work..
Let me know if you have any specific questions or I can help in any way...
I just wanted to know.. when will the list of admitted R1 people be up..
@ankith13 : How was the interview in general? What was the pre-interview assessment about? The list of admitted ppl will be up by 15th NOv
@sudhir3127 does the application number changes for those who has got the call.....because mine has not changed and have not got the call yet.....
I have not got the call but my application number has changed.
Even I don't an interview call
How many of us have app number changed? I'm sure there is some correlation. .

Hello,
Congrats buddy and hope you have given your best shot at the interview.
I have few questions, here they go. I think these will help every one
1) All the interviewers were alums and none from adcom?
2) How long did the interview go on for
3) If you can remember what other questions were asked
4) Did you have any of these one word essay, guestimates or case studies ?
5) Did you have any other bouncers
Just to add to the above question.... Do you by any chance know how many people came for the interview today?
That way we should be able to estimate the number of people called each day and estimate the total number of interview calls that would be floated π
hey has anyone from blr got a call. and also my application no. has changed. does that mean anything?????????
@kanusep12
Some places I was stuck where I was unable to answer.. like what if your venture fails.. what market study I have done for my upcoming works etc...
1) All the interviewers were alums and none from adcom?
Yes all were alums and none from adcom....
2) How long did the interview go on for
The i/v was for around 30 mins
3) If you can remember what other questions were asked
I was asked more on my ventures(I am doing some App development), goals, extra curriculars(drumming) and social work ...
4) Did you have any of these one word essay, guestimates or case studies ?
Yes I had a one word essay to be completed before the i/v began and I had to submit the essay to the interviewers... the topic of the essay was
5) Did you have any other bouncers
But overall i/v went on fine...
6)Do you by any chance know how many people came for the interview today?
There were around 4 panels interviewing parallelly.. and each person had a slot of 30 mins..
Now you can estimate.. I am not so good at it...
So Puys waiting for their call and Puys preparing for their i/v... ALL the BEST 
(Please someone answer my question... when does the first list of admitted students come out??)
@ankith13 dude it was answered above... that is why did not mention it again.... the results will be out by 15th Nov.
Thanks for your reply :)
Thanks for your reply :)
All the best again...
By the way... you did not mention the topic for the one word essay.
Hello guys...
Just to estimate the number of guys who will be called for the interviews... (ya by the way a practice guesstimate question)
Considering that there will be 4 panels and each panel takes 8 interviews (4 hrs @ 30mins per interview + slack time) so on a given day 4*8 = 32.
Now calculating the number of interview days
hyderabad - 13th Oct to 8th Nov - 26days
mohali - 1 - 5 Nov - 5days
delhi - 8 μ°½β¬β 11 Nov - 4days
kolkata - 2 - 4 Nov - 3days
----------------
38 days
----------------
So 38 x 32 = 1216 ~ 1000-1050 (considering not every day runs on full capacity)
Guys this is a decent number..... Even in the worst case 1000 candidates should be called for interview, so be positive most of us hopefully should get a call....
Cheers !!!
Planning to give GMAT on 20th November. The Application process for Second cycle ends on 30th of November. However, it'll take 2-3 weeks for the official scores to reach ISB. Will that be a problem?
Phoenix : No
@Phoenix2687 Nope, you can apply using your unofficial score. However, on the GMAT Day, do select ISB to receive the official score report so that it reaches by latest first week of December.

Thanks a lot! Will do that :)
@kanusep12 Hahahahaa... I like your calculation 
If this is something to go by, 1000 students out of 1200 odd candidates who have applied for R1 will get a call? That's pretty optimistic 
I hope I'm not among those remaining 200 
The wait is killing. Just wondering, if ISB has decides to reject a candidate without interviewing, will we get a confirmation immediately or we need to wait until November? Perhaps, a question for reapplicants to answer

@Phoenix2687 That should not be a problem, ISB accepts the unofficial score report, so writing GMAT on 30th Nov is also OK.
