here is a sneak peak into the SIBM life, written by a senior. It might just help you to decide to come to the Lavale hills :). All the best to all the converts :)

u have pretty decent extra curriculars
10th and 12th score is an area of concern but u cant go back and change ur ACADS now...so focus on improving ur grad %age and maximising ur entrance exam scores
Considering this year trends...SIBM-Pune will be next to impossible even after a 99 %ile score in SNAP
reasons
only 40 % weightage to SNAP
2 marks each fr 10th, 12th ... u will lose out on 3 IMPORTANT marks
since u are a FRESHER.... u will lose out on workex
u need to do exceptionally well in GD-PI ...but then the kind of PI -SIBM has....everybody does well
moreover...this yr calls were given at SNAP 98.2 ...so there wasnt much difference in score of 98.2 or 99...so EACH mark counts
ppl wid a percentile of 99.7+ and excellent GD/PI got REJECTED
So, I suggest you to not to be over optimistic about SIBM and concentrate on other instts which focus more on EXAM SCORES----like MDI ....get 99+ (CAT)and u are almost there
not to discourage you...but u can still have an outside chance wid a bradmanesque SNAP score --may be a perfect 100
