Hi dare devil :)

If this 1 year MBA is same as their flagship MBA program then it will be worth joining even after 5 years of experience

If u are targeting Indian colleges then ISB is one of the top

Hey,
I have also applied for ISB YLP and have cleared stage 1. Going to give GMAT on 30th July. Anybody have any idea on the kind of basic profile they will be using to filter students in the selection process?

This is the inaugural intake through YLP, so there is no know how as such about the criteria they use to select students. I guess standard B School guidelines should hold, you should probably dig out some info about HBS 2+2 guidelines, may serve as a good pointer. I'm just going to be myself, because I know my strengths, weaknesses and I believe in being unique :).

No way man! This number of people apply for the PGP admissions, after getting some work experience. And ISB calls about 5/8th of its applicants for interviews.

Can you tell me what were the topics of the essays that you were asked to write on, and also what did the video had to elaborate on? I am going to appear for it in 2012....

Can you tell me what were the topics of the essays that you were asked to write on in 1st and 2nd level, and also what did the video had to elaborate on in 1st level? I am going to appear for it in 2012.

Anybody who has been selected for ISB YLP batch of 2017?
