When did the first call come for the 1st cycle?
So if it is about 15 days after the dead line so web can assume that the calls will not start pouring in before another week I guess.

@mba-help Hi need help in evaluating my profile,GMAT 620.work ex 13 yrs inthe army.extra cirriculars are excellent with a mountaineering expedition.i have submitted my appl for isb for round 2.however my greatest fear is that I may not be called for an interview because of my low gmat .i want advice on future course of action in case I'm not called for an interview.like should I apply for xlri.i am not very sure about the placements for xlri.i will be glad if you could help me out.i have also had a tenure with the UN peacekeeping mission in Israel.
@MBAspirant10 dude, your app no. is the early 400's. Did u initially plan to apply in R1? Mine is the late 400's.
@raghupro Since I'm from the defence I really cannot comment on your work ex but do yu think that you would get a call considering your score is on the lower side of the spectrum.and yes I went through the spread sheet.well my 620 is the lowest among all those who have filled the details although the work ex is the highest.anyways wish you also a very best of luck.look forward to interacting with you more often.
@rochak22 To be frank there are many ifs and buts in my profile but I still wanna give it a shot. The work I am doing right now will not be affected in any negative way with my MBA trials, if I make it into ISB my entrepreneurial efforts will propel to a good extent. The only reason I am considering ISB is to refine my management skills, fine tune my go-to-market strategies and most importantly to study about various monetization models for the product development I am doing.
@punters11 i had plans of applying in the second round itself, but wanted to know abt the essay topics..hence created a login as soon as the application process begun.
@raghupro If you jus change the name...your profile is almost same as my profile :)
mobile startup...
640
Startup weekend..
Marketing...
@ankyrules Hey which startup weekend did you attend? Can I know about what you do at your startup please? :)
@rochak22 : Your GMAT score is on the lower side but your profile and higher work-ex makes you stand out from the crowd. ISB has compromised on GMAT before if they have been convinced by aspirants through essays and i/v to admit them in fact one of the R1 aspirant who was very active on this thread (@sudhir3127 ) had made it despite low GMAT score.So,my two cents would be to work on your strengths and give ISB reasons to take you in.
@rochak22 You can refer the R1 applicants spreadsheet https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AkGkc0yWHIvAdE9DZ2UwbDB4TlIxZkpnZnZITUpEemc#gid=0 , infact akki.oceanic also got an admit despite low score
Hello All,
Any idea when will the interview calls begin for R2 in ISB please.?
