I had my interview on 22 Dec - Blore.
2PM slot: 5/7 , 2 absent.
Topic: Common sense is the most uncommon thing in this world
Inv exp: It was very normal discussion type. They saw addnl info section many times and asked about my interests. Then question about my career progression and about my venture.
Overall it was a nice discussion. Let's see. Hoping for the best.
ATB to all of you.

Hi puys,

I am out too. I knew about this since my interview itself. Whole of my interview around 10-13 mins was very casual. Started with actor, movies, hobbies and discussion revolved around them only. Sincerely i don't have any hobbies. Although i keep interest in stock market and cricket. This only in free time.

Really, i am clueless how to handle this hobby question. This is even more important in IIM interviews. PLEASE SUGGEST. Going to attend IIM L interview in a week.
thanks.

Puys/Ex or Current Student of EPGP,
I will have 6 years and 9 months of experience by Mar 31, 2010. According to eligibility criteria, min experience is 7 years. Is it strictly no for any body with experience less than 7 years? Please clarify this whether I will get outright rejected just due to this.
Thanks

Need some advice from current/ex-students or re-applicants.
I need one help with my last year (2009 i.e CO 2011) application feedback. I am not able to understand it well. Feedback was: The committee has gone through your application and is of the following view:
Your overall interview rating was good.
Slightly below average GMAT. May want to improve on it if planning to apply again. A higher AWA will also be an advantage.
You basically lost out in view of the intensity of the competition.
Interview panel however made a special suggestion that we urge you to reapply.
Reapplication is strongly recommended.
I am planning to apply in R1 with same GMAT (690/5/6.5yrs/IT Male/Startup exp/No intl exp). Instead, I will put lots of thinking into the app. I am only worried about their advice on GMAT which I am not planning to follow. Is it absolutely necessary for me to take GMAT? Is it good for R2 interview reject candidate to apply in next year R1? If I go for R2 and I don't get a major jump in my GMAT score then again it'll not solve any purpose. Please give me some thoughtful advice.

Hi all,
I am too a re-applicant for CO2012.
I have been following this thread very religiously, and found it very useful. It's great that we all discuss our queries and get beautiful advices/feedback. I hope we all succeed this year.
Just sharing my feedback...and one of my concern related to it:
The committee has gone through your application and is of the following view:

Your overall interview rating was good.
Slightly below average GMAT. May want to improve on it if planning to apply again. A higher AWA will also be an advantage.
You basically lost out in view of the intensity of the competition.

We wish you all the best in your future endeavors.

Although feedback is really long and encouraging, I am little confused with 2nd point (Slightly ....GMAT).
As I follow pagalguy, i found that it is always good to work on their-ve feedback. Now (July, feedback came very late) I am not planning to retake GMAT atleast for R1 app.
What do you suggest?? Will GMAT (690/5AWA/6+yrs/IT/some entrepreneurial exp) again become a bottleneck??
Please advise.

I am a re-applicant. As the 1st essay is same as last year (2009), can I write similar essay. I applied in 2nd round last year and it's just around 6 months since then. So there are no big changes in the profile. Although i did sth to improve my few weaknesses. I believe 1st essay is to show our 3 best qualities, and in general it may remain same.

Please suggest on the content of 3 essays. Can they remain similar to previous app?
Also can I use same recos.
bye
