@vicky214 do not worry much!! i have rarely heard of anyone having an extraordinary i/v. Majority of us have mediocre i/vs. I have seen ppl having v good i/vs but still dint get the admit and ppl having v bad i/vs but still getting admits.
I guess they r a lil random..and the i/v is just one part of the whole process. they evaluate ur app holistically..so nothing can be said before feb 15th.
stay positive.. and just pray hard that all of us sail thru. Thats all that we can do now! 😃 😃

Bhaaiyon, please tell me that how should i start ,i mean books ?, tests ? or any other stuff one can share.... What is the deadline for giving the exam...is it really under any protocol for different colleges across the world??? Please share any sample tests , books to be used for preparation especially verbal.... What scores are required to get into colleges?...Gmat paper consists of what all section and with what all pattern? Is it similar to CAT or something apart from it...difficulty level(sample tests can clear difficulty,plz provide anylink for some tests)...

Anyone had their interview on 20thJan Sunday at Hyderabad with Panel-2 ?
mine didnt start on a good note and the interview totally went offtrack and I could only answer a bit convincingly in the last 5-10 minutes... total interview last arnd 30-35minutes...
@sanju200888 : You can start with diagnostic test on MBA.com. Give it seriously and then based on result you can decide on the books.
Official Guide by GMAC is must in any case.
For verbal, if you are very weak, then go for Manhattan books (costly but effective)
If quant is your strong point, then OG should be sufficient or you can decide on Manhattan books (5 different books for different sectins of quant) based on your diagnostic test result.
@mank18 I just checked the ISB application portal and the i/v dates for Mohali shows 26 - 30 Jan. I remember that earlier it was till 1 Feb. So now that the wait time has reduced by 2 days, suddenly hopes started diminishing at a faster rate. Not sure why these dates change so frequently.
Technically, the interview is over in 30 minutes. But we remain in that interview room for many days after the interview. Ur brain keeps thinking ' I should have said that, I should have said this ..I didn't talk about my greatest strengths...' . You are stuck at that point. It's a state of limbo.. I wake up from my dreams now a days and use a totem to confirm that I am not still in the interview
I too feel the same.... there were so many things I could have talked about in the interview but it just didn't strike my mind at that moment... and now I just feel that I shouldn't have interviewed at all :(
@vjmannur Same here buddy. I feel like protagonist - Sunny Deol (from Ghayal) and screaming "Balwant Rai ke kutte (for ISB i/v call) - bahar nikal !!!! " Just trying to divert my mind from refreshing my mailbox every now and then.
@vbinani seriously dude!!! If i get an admit and then later remain a full time alumni, I shall insist on conducting all the i/v's i am supposed to conduct in the first 2-3 weeks itself so that guys like me at that time do not have to wait!!!
