ISB Class of 2014 aspirants.

Puys, I had a query regarding admit ratios.


For every 4 applicants that ISB interviews, it admits 1. Is this true? If so, then the percentage of conversion is quite low even if we compare to US Top Tier schools
@punters11 767 admits from say approximately 6000 applicants. That makes a ratio of 1 out of 8. Pretty competitive scenario.

Btw all 6000 applicants are definitely not called for interviews...

ISB has provided a ratio of number of applicants to number to interviews held to number of students admitted....this ratio is 8:5:1...

Profile:

GMAT: 770 (99 percentile)
Acads:
Engineering - 72% (Mumbai Uni - considered high)
High School - 77% (state board - avg)
School - 85% (state - high)

Work ex: total 2.5 yrs but not focused
Accenture - 14 months
Asst. Prof - 12 months
NGO related work - 5 months

Needed some advice on my chances at ISB or other colleges that accept GMAT scores (international colleges as well - Harvard, Stanford, Wharton etc..)....

HELPPPP...!!!
@WakuDoki dude, I am an R2 applicant and my ISB interview was last week. I was asking specifically about the no. of interview shorlists vs the no. of Final admits.
@heman2727 with Mohali too in the picture, I don't think 8:5:1 is applicable any more.

Gmat -600

Graduation-73 percent
IT exp 21 months till march'13
Decent EC's, Strong Essays.
has any one recvd call for Healthcare sector(post MBA)?

@heman2727 By your theory, for 767 seats ISB would shortlist 767*5 = 3835 applicants. This year ISB has received about 4000 applicants (source: previous pages on this forum). So, basically everyone who applied would get shortlisted, which is not the case.

First of all, let me clear this is not my theory...I had read it in some previous post or some link (which I don't remember).....As you have done the maths, it is evident that this ratio is not correct....
@heman2727 :) wasn't trying to point any fingers towards you, I am just anxious for the results and Feb 15 seems like an eternity

Fellow aspirants,


I have observed very few IT applicants getting the i/v call, Is my observation correct?


@vk1986 Wrong observation. Enough number of IT guys are getting calls ;)

hello guys, can we please have a track of how many i/v calls have been given for round 2 till now?

Any calls for healthcare domain..? {HYD(Mum)}


@harshadsgsits

hi. I am from healthcare (pharma). No call yet.

My horoscope says I 'll "emerge" today .. I hope I get the much eluding i/v call to emerge

yeah raghu
acc to my observation guys having less experience and great score are getting calls

hey did they give you any answer to your query ?
i dont think 8:5:1 is correct fist of all 5:1 is too much for them it should be 3:1
