I thought I would have to ask one of my friends with USD card to pay.
@ivyctor2010 does that mean that I can pay with my card in equivalent INR ?
@ivyctor2010 I have been getting 9 out of 10 or 17+ out of 20 during practice..should I rely on that? I read that OG is quite easier and actual exam is tougher.
@ivyctor2010 great, that works for me then..I can pay using my Visa debit card then..thank you so much.
@mustang28 &@Shoan I'm a reapplicant as well...

Hey friends, me too... Just got back to this thread after last year's adventure... It seems a little less active thread as compared to previous year.... I am sure we can all help each other out with little doubts here and there.... I will be happy to help on anything (except for profile evaluation queries)....
Regarding video essay this time, people seem to have info that business formals are must. Is it really the case? Has adcom mentioned it in any info session or in any forum? Would appreciate if someone can throw light to avoid any false info being circulated.
@fighterlives I've asked the adcom in an info session about the attire for video essay. They said casuals are fine...
@MBAEntrant said:A question to all the reapplicants...what are you doing about the 3 normal essays that we need to write? Whatever i try to write looks eerily similar to last year ones...
Well I sat and thoroughly read the previous essays, analysed what more I had to say and put it together. Honestly, after good efforts this times essays have more clarity. Maybe its reflecting my state of mind. Atleast I think so

True that.. I was an R2 waitlist last time.. and the PG forum sure turned crazy by the end! 
@racecrazed
work ex is very good.. but the low GMAT might prove to be a bummer.. considered retaking it?
@fighterlives I just got done with the video.. in my line of work 'formals' are what a corporate HR rep would probably call 'Friday Attire' 
So I'll go with it..especially since in the brief mailed by the ISB there is no mention of a dress code!

@ivyctor2010 said: @MissWorld Such accuracy is good, it implies that your basics are clear. But for a reality check you can try taking mocks.
yup.. you should take mocks.. helps put a perspective on things..
