Hi,


Can someone tell me how important the IR scores are for ISB this year? I got a 660, but my IR score is just 1 (dismal i know!!). I have 2.5 yrs experience, female entrepreneur/family business in the telecom domain based out of Bangalore. GPA 3.79 and decent extracurricular activities. I've applied in R2 and received verification on the 15th.

Any thoughts?

Thanks.

IR scores will not be considered this year as per ISB website
@MissWorld Thanks! Yes I did read it on the website, I also contacted them about it and received the same info.. I was just wondering if we had any idea of about the R1 applicants or if anyone had any insider info unlikely but I thought worth a try!

I just received the verification mail and waiting for the i/v call now.

Interview call aaja!!!

@watergal10 yeah, but experts here may give some inputs :)
@vjmannur Tera number aayega dost !!!
@watergal10 As you know IR has been introduced starting last June only. As a readon, most colleges including ISB still don't have any metric to gauge the apt score levels for IR. So don't worry too much about it.
@raghupro Thanks!

My productivity in office has gone so low since I took up applying to B-schools that I think mostly I will not require to resign from my company.. I will be kicked out before that!!!

There is a good probability that we might be asked to handle a guesstimate question, in the interview experience doc being shared on Pagalguy it has been mentioned that approximately 20% of the applicants attending the interview were asked with such questions. As far as I am concerned I feel that the key is the initial number and the number of factors you consider to scrutinise the situation further.

I am attaching a doc containing the primary population statics needed to handle most situations. Do check it out.

And another very useful link shared by @r2kins that will help us prepare for guesstimate/case study questions
