I request all the C02013 Admits to share their profile , so that Future aspirants can benefit from it..
I will give a snapshot of my profile.
GMAT 690 .... WE : 2yrs 9 Months ( In a Motorcycle OEM)
10th - 80% 12 - 70% Btech 70% ...
Guys start working on your profile ... because it matters a lot...
And Please go through ISB selection Process thoroughly ..Read every line ... and showcase your profile such as it fills all the gaps...
1.Leadership Potential
2.Diversity
3.Academic Background and Analytical Ability
4.Diverse professional experience
Make sure you touch all the points .....
Rate your essays from 0-10 for every parameter... and try to build your story accordingly...
Get to know about your dream coll as much as you can ....
Talk to people....
AND for God's sake dont waste too much time on GMAT ( its just part of your app )
Personally i feel you need not be a super achiever , an intresting story is enough to convince ISB guys.
i hope it helps....

wana give a try one more time. ...despite good GMAT and good i/v it dint work...bit sad!
Aritro9782 SaysAnd ParthaMishra??
What I observed that partha thanked everyine wgo got an admit....but dint post anything...
I had a great time in this forum and also received loads of help from fellow puys for my i/v prep... So in a small gesture, I am willing to take time to provide a 3rd party view of fellow puys, whom ISB did not find good enough for Co2013... maybe a fresh pair of eyes such as mine, can provide some new inputs allowing puys to maybe put up a better show for Co2014 application

What are the advantages/disadvantages for a re-applicant?
Finally, what all is humanely possible for a guy to change in 6 months or so in his profile? 6 months or so is the time left for R1 application..
I have a few queries as a reapplicant for this year:
1. Do the essay topics remain the same (as put forward by Mustang)?
2. For achievements essays , the acheivements are to be changes or can one keep the same instances?
3. For the goal essay , with all probability it would the same. Changing goal in 6 months does not bode well. However, can one keep the essay ditto same as in the last year?
4. Same query for the essay-3 : additional info. May be there can be some addition or subtraction ,but it the essay remains 90% same will it affect?
5. Do the adcom revisit pervious year's essays for a reapplicant? Or do they assess with the current year's essays.
6. Essays for reapplicat - what changes from last application. In fact in six months what change can be ushered in the profile? (in this case feedback from AdCom is important I beleieve).
Reapplicants, please throw some lights..
@akb , aritro , can you please check with our fellow reapplicant puys in CO 2013 threads as well in case folks miss to visit this thread...
Guys,
I learnt a lot from pagalguy and it is time for me to contribute to this thread - in whatever way I can.
I am R2 admit for Class 2013 HYD campus.
My profile: 7+ years of IT exp (2 year in project management) 740 GMAT. EC - OK Ok
I would try to visit this thread regularly however in case any urgent help required please PM me.
Few things I want to share: I got 3 rejects without interview and got into ISB with first attempt (My first preference). So My take away is do not feel dejected because of rejects - it makes you ready for accept.
