ISB 2008 - Interviews and Admits

[catstyle]

I would just like to answer the question in a different manner by saying that

My whole stregth lies in making the idea and hence the patent and I should be looking at selling that only. With some experiences connect the same to the patent benefits

Isn't that fine

can somebody answer me please?
my 2nd recommender(a traditional finicky lot) wants to know this as he insists that if it is a verification through e-mail or some web based stuffs then he would rather prefer not to be a part. Can u tell me if the ISB atleast does it telephonically if not personally?
some pg veterans...plz reply

Could someone tell me what my chances are? I'm planning to apply in R1 and I'm working on the essays

You've got a fair GMAT score, considering the avg of 730. I would have said "Good", but then you've passed out just a couple of years ago.

Work Ex : 2 yrs in an IT Major

This is what I am not sure of - you are at the borderline in terms of experience. If it is 2 yrs right now, then it'll be about 2.5 yrs when you join. Not sure on this front!

I'm planning to apply in R1 and I'm working on the essays

You should also check out the thread for this year's applications - ISB 2009 Aspirants.

Cheers

Thanks for the response, I guess all I should do is apply and take it as it comes

Can somebody please check my profile and tell my chances of getting call from ISB / Pgpx iima?

WE : 12 + years / non IT / PSU

Acad : B.tech / good college / c.g.p.a 8.02/10

Gmat : 670 / awa 5.5

Achivements/awards : very normal

I think i have done fairly good job in essays.

Lots of procrastination on the part of ISB, something which is not associated with them.
