is this the the essay that we write in the GMAT exam or is it there a separate essay we have to write at the time of application to ISB?
Guys any idea when results will be out?
The waiting period is killing me and more so after the FT rankings
-------------
Called up the ISB office yesterday and they confirmed that results will be out on or before 15th Feb positively.
Best of luck to all candidates.

Just finished interviewing. Interview was on campus. Was kind of a historic moment today with ISB making it to the 20th rank on the FT rankings.
There was a huge party and I was invited too. After the dean's address I was summoned for my interview. (after writing that 100 word thingy)

"1) Can I pay the tuition fees in instalments?
Tuition fees can be paid in two instalments; however, the ISB allows a discount on fees paid one time in full. "

A short interview does not essentially mean a reject. Sometimes though the interviewer looks bored, he might actually be making a lot of mental notes. Dont lose heart. ATB.

Hi Guys,
I had my telephonic interview from the bay area yesterday. They gave me the same word "Ridiculous" and asked me to speak on it.
The rest of the questions were as follows:
1. You have portrayed yourself as a risk taker , what risks have you taken?
2. Do you always take risks ?...
