ISB Class of 2014 aspirants.

@LuckyThirteen Dude, that's a conspiracy theory. The message on my portal still is the same as before ..... "if shortlisted"....... So, what you are basically trying to say is you have been shortlisted and all those applicants whose portal doesn't contain the words "if shorlisted" have actually been shortlisted.

How does one tackle the word surrealism...has been asked in R1.

Just spoke to the lady at ISB. She was so calm and helpful. Can't thank her enough for putting me at ease.


I forwarded my Class 10 Marksheet and the ISB confirmation mail for receiving the GMAT official score report.

Hope it's fine now...fingers crossed!
@punters11
I would like to rephrase what you have said..
Note the edits :

"So, what you are basically trying to say is you have been 'unofficially confirmed as shortlisted for the interview ' and for all those applicants whose portal doesn't contain the words "if shortlisted" are still in the process of being shortlisted."

Yup, that is my theory. I cant think of any other explanation.

I invite everyone to check out the message that is displayed on log in and post your messages here.

Again, i dont want anyone to lose any sleep over this. The "if shortlisted" message
DOES NOT IMPLY that you are dinged ! I interpret this message to mean "you are still being considered".



@LuckyThirteen
Scratch my previous message - Your message was accurate the first time around.
I messed it up when i edited the message. It's close to midnight here..:-)


Here is what i wanted to say . Again, let me state that at this point, this is ALL CONJECTURE.

If you are already shortlisted, then when you log in to the isb site to check the application status, you will see the message " "Your application has been verified and found complete. Further update will be available approximately 5 to 7 days before the interview date for the interview location you have chosen."

If you are in the process of being shortlisted, when you log in to the isb site to check the application status, you will see the message" "Your application has been verified and found complete. Further update on short-listing will be available approximately 5 to 7 days before your interview, if shortlisted, for the interview location you have chosen"

@LuckyThirteen Conjecture is the most important word there
@y2tellu hey dude.. welcome aboard. I think @punters11 has already informed you about meeting point at neptune.. let us know if any queries. cheers..

Number of theories proposed is directly proportional to number of passing days! 😁

@raghupro
Agreed..But you gotta admit that my theory makes a little bit more sense :-)

@LuckyThirteen are u sure about this theory??? coz if they have already sort-listed you and not decided upon the date will they actually take the effort to change the status? I suppose the actual change in status will happen upon receiving and i/v call...

Finally recieved my verification mail πŸ˜ƒ

@LuckyThirteen : i appreciate your eye for detail but do not really understand how does it helps your cause.Even if the proposed theory is true, it only adds up to your anxiety that you have been short-listed but still in queue for i/v and cannot get any confirmation from ISB on the same before long-awaited i/v mail.Given the theory is true, it would only serve purpose to those who have doubts whether their app is worthy enough of an i/v call from ISB.

P.S.: yes, my app status still puts me in the 'if shot-listed' category.
@delatpg
Delta. i get your point.
I want folks to login in to see if they see the change in message. This is the only way to test my theory πŸ˜ƒ Again, this is a theory.

Status is same for me!
Looks like you have created quite a stir here with your comment :)
Anyway, ATB to you!

the status for me says 'further details on short-listing...........' if at all it means anything. frankly i dont think so.

@raghupro I so wish i did, but have not, i m on the waitlist.. So imagine how long my wait has been stretched to.. Patience is one virtue ISB has taught me even before deciding to take me on board!

got the verification mail finally (2hrs bak)...but not before India tasted victory...

@sahniprashant From what I can remember - Class X marksheet is required for women candidates applying for scholarships. So just chill buddy !!

Are the interview calls even on? I mean i used to see floods of interview invites.. Maybe the flood hasnt begun yet...

I just got a mail from ISB intimating me of an incomplete application. They asked me to justify a specific part of my career, which I did just now.


Now the wait is extended by an infinite period I guess
