I don't think we should head over to that thread because now the next season has started. Time for a new thread. ISB 2007 - Calling?

Hi Every One

Me too aiming for ISB for 2007 . Havent really started preapring for GMAT , started a little on the quant section have to start verbal soon. But thats not what i am morried about. More worried about wether my profile is good enuf to get in. Basicallu anm a s/w engineer from Mum univ (2005 pass out ) . Till nov have around 10 months of work ex in am MNC. Am doing pretty well in my current job. Also displayed good leadership in college while graduating . Have good enuf acads. I am worried that i do not have enuf work ex amd that am from the engineering back ground. If i apply for 2007 bythe time the course begin will have arnd 20 months of work ex . Dont know how bad that is since ISB strongly recommend 2 yrs. What about you guys .. what are your profiles like ? And what study material are youll using ? Any one taken a GMAT date as yet ? If notw what date do you plan on taking it ?

Too many questins....... i know.. but thats me sorry

I had given CAT-05 and got 98.73 %le (had prep for 1.5 months). I got calls from IIMB and IIML. IIMB rejected me and am in WL in L - am not expecting to convert L , as the WL is quite high. Kindly NOTE that i had a awesome GD/PIs, guess the low cat score took the toll.

Target 2007 : ISB
Target 2008 : McKinsey, Gsaachs, BCG

svraman,

I think that u must be prepared to let ur 2 yrs jobex pedigre down the drain if u plan to move on to Consulting.Also, that chances of u getting picked could also be slim coz they might either look at a person with rel ex or a fresher. So, beware.............

HI BHAIRAV,

If you are completing 2 yrs work ex in 2007 then I would suggest you to apply in 2007 & not in 2006 .... the reason being that, if you are a reapplicant you have to justify "what are the improvements in your profile since the last time you applied" which I believe is little diffucult to do.... more over atleast 2 yrs work ex is required there are exceptions (freshers) but they are not more than 10 and they a Sachin Tendulkar's with 90% makrs through out....Hope you got that .....

Dude I am not discouraging you to apply but I telling you what I know ...... Best thing would be to speak ISB alumni.... the link is their on thier web... explore and let me know the outcome......

Hope to hear from you....

Working at Bangalore! More than 2.5 yrs of experience, will try to do something to get myself a Career shift there year through MBA

I have a friend who passed out of ISB this year, if anyone wants I can get some info from him ... if there are some specific questions. One small problem, he is right now on vacation, but should be available soon :

Can he give us the age/exp wise breakup in the current accepted batch or may be in his batch?

how many ppl are there with exp in 2-4 yrs bracket? and how many of them from IT?
