ISB Class of 2014 aspirants.

@crackster You seem to be really counting down the days 2 at a time. Guess you are really busy with work now-a-days

And, u strike me as someone who loves to go against the crowd, a non-conformist, especially with that last comment. Good for you, this must have helped you in your applications
@z-potm You are not anonymous, you are using an alias. Btw, any good news from US shores ?
@punters11 no yaar :(
ISB seems to be the only hope now

Hi, I have been a silent follower of this thread for quite some time and really love the way you guys contribute and add value to it...Kudos!!!


Well I decided to post for the first time in the fag end(Its always better late than never, isnt it). I really enjoyed this thread and am amazed with the level of maturity and i should add ..wit and humour you guys bring in.

My profile:

R2 Applicant

GMAT: 620 (2009)
Work Exp:14 yrs ( quite an oldy)
Industries Worked so far : Hospitality, Petroleum, Tourism, Education, Renewables and Infrastructure(Last Job)
Qualification : Hotel Mgmt with Masters in Tourism Mgmt
Hobbies : Cycling, Cooking and Photography
References : Very Good
End Result : about to be dinged..without an I/V invite...how sad
Plan B : Improve GMAT Score and apply for NUS
Plan C : If Plan B fails, back to life...prepare my son for Stanford and the likes. By the way he is 3yrs old!!

All the best..

@Veteran123
Hey don't address yourself like that (oldy n stuff), there is no age to do an MBA, Keep your hopes alive, if not ISB then definitely some place better. Who knows you got a Golden Goose waiting for you somewhere :). I'm sure your son wouldn't like to read this post when he grows up. I know of a guy who had GMAT score of 610 and was called for i/v, he had 10 years of experience. So no ways you should think like tht abt yourself.

And my friend these are not words of kindness or sympathy or whatever, but I think there must be something in store for u :)

don't think so..... sunday mite be a holiday for the admissions offc... ppl still got hope till mid of next week to get the interview call

This is really irritating!! If they have already scanned a candidate's application and found him/her unsuitable, at least they could have sent out rejection e-mails!! Surely even they cannot hold everyone to be a possible candidate till the very last minute!!

@Veteran123 Hi Mam .. I am a R1 admit and I don't have high GMAT πŸ˜ƒ .. ( sounds like my name is khan :p) .. My GMAT is 610 with 8 yrs of experience in Ibanking and M&A.; Yes it's true that with a low GMAT the odds are against us but one needs to be confidents about ones profile. I see you have a strong profile but not sure what ISB is thinking . If I were you and with strong essays I will be still hopeful . All the Best
@Kode_A fake news is fun for some and heart attack for the likes of me :(
@engineer.22 Brace yourself Engineer. There is lot more to come :)

I will join you starting tomorrow But if you keep your PG's-Rajnikant jokes for GunnerforLife... He will be RunnerforLife from PG!! Come on... give me a salute or something for being rajnikant of PG!
Correction!! give HIM a salute or something for being rajnikant of PG

Hey people include me in some conversation.........

Even if i dont get a call.. I wont feel dejected..

@reecha just FYI u CAN EDIT your posts :)
@harshadsgsits Gunners are Arsenal FC players.

Gooners are Arsenal Fans.

but usually we call ourselves gunners too.

Gunnerforlife bole toh Arsenal Fan for ever,.....

My Fav team too...

We bought a new Left back: Nacho guy from Malaga. Fellow is Spanish.
Now that Gibbs is injured for 4 - 6 weeks and Santos is crap with defense... hope this Nacho guy ll help
(ya ya EPL nerd.. whtever)

@tripamb : Lets hope the best for all of us..

@sudhir3127 I agree with you.. a low GMAT score can be a hindrance..Shall wait for a couple of days.

@freesurfer Rightly said.. dont know what stops ISB from sending reject letters right away instead of keeping everyone waiting for 2 & 1/2 months

@Kode_A kithhee?? i can only see reply, like, share and quote! on my defense i can also say it was just the immediate reflexive action that I did that.. :P
@Kode_A thanks Kode_A.. actually I am not a soccer fan.. 😞 thats why was not aware.. anyways thanks for the info :)
