Mad at having got no posts from the exp yet

hey guys in PG for the first time
a bit on my background...im a US returned guy.went abroad for ugrad
wanting to do an mba from india and stay on here a while..work marry have children etc...
now i gave my gmat and got a score of 760 and have a call from ximb for march 18th in delhi
i tried getting into IIMs with my gmat but they have a policy saying that u gotta apply from aborad and also submit gmat scores from aborad to study at iims..so iim's r out...
here are all the pies in which I have dipped my fingers so far
FMS (very tough - my dream place -they take 9 foreign studens only in a batch of 120 indians)
XIMB - got a call
XLRI - got no call
SIBM - have a call
IMT ghaziabad - process still happening
SP Jain - rejected - ambiguity about my 'foreign status'. hence rejected ...adcom says one thing when applying, then changes rules during the selection process, tried to rasie IIM kind of issue
MDI - rejected, same reason as SP jain
NMIMS - did not apply, found out too late about the NMAt
IIFT - positive will get through since high GMAT score with no gd/pi means they wanting to suck me in and take my dollars
ISB - bombed the interview, lost out my chance to come out earning 10 laks after my MBA, also a bit rusty on my concepts riight now, so not sure how i wuld have done in a 1 year program
now folks given the above scenario how wud u rate the diff places where i still have a shot in terms of ranking, quality of finance curriculum and finally finance placements.....
since this thread is about ximb, le the ximbers present their story on thek ind of experience i can hope to have....some info on thek inds of ocmpanies (finance and mktg) that come to recruit here would be much appreciated

well, I guess somebody mentioned 17th feb instead of 17th march as his/her GD/PI date. I have many frnds in cal and all of them have their GD/PI on or arnd 17th march. moreover, its hard to digest that XIMB's GD/PI starts from 17th feb and lasts till 21st march. So in all probability, GD/PI starting from 1st/2nd week of march....mine on 8th march.
Niraj

Welcome to PG !
Dude, u have got a great GMAT score !
If i were u I would have started packing my bags !
But with u, I see, the priorities are different.
U wanna do an MBA here , right ?
From those institutes u have quoted, go for IIFT if u have interest in foriegn trade.
Your choices would be limited.
But if u r interested in the regular MBA, XIMB is the best u have ( I really dont wanna say this, as it'll increase competition for me
).SIBM is also a good one.
But dude, I still cant digest the fact that u r chucking ivy league schools for IIFT, XIMB or SIBM.
Keep us posted of ur decision.

Niraj
I guess u r right Niraj.
Especially if u look into the fact that XIMB has asked ppl to contact them if candidates dont get the call letter b4 20th feb.
Then when is the first day of interview og XIMB ?
KingCat
so i was tihnking gmat all along and dremaing of places liek xlri ,iims ....on the flipside trying to come in as a foreign student has sort of raised the stakes for me even higher...becoz whereever I apply wit my gmat, theysay it has to be at par with a 99 plus CAT percentile (what od they expect - a frigging 800) ...anyway i have to stick with my orignial plan and now with tihngs moving as they are, i have ot decide from the choices i have left...
so I gather from ur post that
IIFT is not too good for anythign but foreign trade -- if i go purely by that and end up doing well in thier foreng trade course, what kind of positions can i expect to bag at placement time...i know zilch about foreign trade..and from reading thier press release, their finance placements didnt seem that HOt
SIBM is another big pososibiltiy -- heard thier alumni network is very strong, and with the HR of all top companies being from SIBM, they do come back in hordes to thier alma mater to recruit....IS THIS REALLY TRUE...SIBM isp utting me in thier foreign students program (which starts a month after the main indian batch)....so how can i expect to be a part of the placement process if my course still has am onth left when the others are being placed.....somehng about SIBM smells fishy,,as it is thier brochure says foregn students woud hav to fend for thier own summer plaements....no mention about final placements...
FMS -- Im hopeful of a call from here...if i do convert it, then naturally ill chuck everything
and go here,
XLRI - they told me they took only 5 foreign students for the interview stage and i wasnt one of them...all i can think is that the others landed perfect 800 gmat scores becasue there wasnt much else on the foreign students form to go by apart orm the gmat score..they didnt wanna know my past work ex or any other details..so it seems their shortlisting was done purely on the basis of the top 5 gmat scores i guess
IMT Ghaziabad - again im hopeful of getting in ....no gd/PI ..only gmat and hopefull ill be one of their top GMAT scorers atleast...but u never know !!!.....i knwo theyve had great placemetns this yr but IS THE SCHOOL REALLY COMING UP IN A BIG WAY....r those just rumors one hears or is there any truth to them..
SP Jain - first said i wasn't eligible, then when i said "fine, refund my application money since im not even eligible to apply"..they say "sorry but u werent shortlisted"...what nonsense..just wanted to keep the money I guess
MDI - something along similar lines as SP jain...thier prospectus said "nris resident within india six mothns prior to the CAT and in the country during the CAT will have to appear for it..wont be considered on the basis of gmat scores..
on that count they tried rejecting me...then i shouted "hello I am foreign , not NRI "...they said they would get back ...never did ....but what pisses me off is the fact that they made me buy the same form for INR 5000 which domestic students were getting for 1500 (no differecne in content whatsoever) and at the time of registration, they were so sweet n sugary about everything "yes please go ahead and apply and u r defnitnely eligible"...and when it came to selection time, they turned their back on me completely...might as well have not taken my moeny if they had no intention of cinsidering me becasue of thier CAT clause...
XIMB - i have a call on mar 18th and hope to convert it...heard they had great placements too this season ...
Then when is the first day of interview og XIMB ?
KingCat
If it aint 17th Feb , then 8th March is the forst one posted here I guess.
Why are they taking so damn long to conduct interviews!
When do we have results and when do we join!
Getting impatient with this lang drawn out affair!
