ISB 2017 Aspirants

Hey  IT guys,please help.I am not any admit but just an aspirant as of now but a while back I was checking my profile and it said 75 people are following me which really sounds absurd with due respect to all those genuinely following me.Even the admits don't command that following so I am posting my apprehensions .Kahin dushman desh ki saazish toh nahin.Smiley.

Got the reject mail last night...It stated that they don't provide individual feedback...Doesn't ISB provide individual feedback? 

IIM-B EPGP vs ISB? Please give your views.

The last status on my page says that short-listed for interview and accepted on this date and mentions panel/venue details.

Has any anyone got any further updates?

Just got my rejection mail...Wasn't shortlisted for interview also... Feeling really numb...Don't know whether to cry or just bang my head against the wall...

I know this is a very long post ... But I saw a number of aspirants talking about getting a rejection letter and I think what I wrote for myself at a time that i was really low might help you all.

Again sorry for the long post.

As imperfect n messed up as things may seem they are best the way they are.

The one wrong move you think you made ... The one bad day think you had.

The game you were to be at that u skipped,

The fame that was yours to take but u missed.

All will make sense somewhere down the line,

You will see how things just fall into place and everything will be just fine!

So don't get low, don't feel deflated if something seems out of place,

Go at it with all you have, don't ever let it show upon your face.

The way I see it you missed it because you had something better in store,

Be greedy, be hungry, don't ever settle for anything, always ask for more.

But don't you get upset when you don't get it, because that's the way it's supposed to be.

Don't act like your life is over or all is lost ... there are many more things you ought to be!

Twists n turns, straights n bends that's the journey we all have to take.

If it was all straight and simple we would not have any decisions to make.

Take control of your life, be honest n strong to yourself.

Do what you want to with all your heart or what good is that trophy on your shelf.

Make your own decisions, so when things go wrong you don't have anyone else to blame,

But think about it this way when you meet success, well it's still yours all the same.

Trust in yourself, go out there n do your best, that is what you are meant to do.

Things go wrong n mistakes are made but at least you learn something new.

As I said before, All will make sense somewhere down the line,

You will see how things fall into place and everything will be just fine!

whenever I am down, I re-visit the lines which I wrote once when in extreme pain and experienced a big failure. God bless all and stay strong.

There will be days...

There will be days when you cry and others manage to smile. But wait for the days when your heart cries and still manages to make others smile with you.

There will be days when you stretch your hands wide-open and are still not able to catch all the pain that your heart can heal. But wait for the days when your hands are grown up and they forget to catch your own pain, instead your heart feels what others are catching.

There will be days when your hands tremble, voice fumbles, your confidence takes a hit. 'Try again??' you ask yourself and the reply which comes out is 'never'. But wait for the days when you can hijack the fear, trust your-self, come up with something that no one else has and no-one else will, ever.

There will be days when you miss your loved-ones, when memories hurt, when life stands still. You curse your actions, you curse your fate. But wait for the days when you can hide your wounds, carry a big heart, be there, for the ones who count you in their loved-ones.

There will be days when you give up, let things go, can't catch up with others, give up. But wait for the days when you hit back, remain in the fight and don't let go because you never wanted what you gave up, and never gave up what you wanted.

jusst three only 

Ok, just a piece of advice for all the people who are down. I am in Tepper - Carnegie Mellon University. My flatmate, my two batchmates who stays in the apartment above us and I are rejects from Round 2 ISB but we are here and I think that was a blessing in disguise. So never give up, improve your score, improve your profile and try to look beyond ISB. There are tons of great schools that provide mind boggling opportunities.

There are people from IIML, IIMI who are doing their second MBA at Tepper so think about it and explore opportunities,

Pick yourself up and start fighting.

Again ISB provides a different value proposition and its one of the great school in Asia.

All the best to others.

Hi, i have a query.
ISB vs XLRI? Which one is better?

PS: I have  36 months work ex.

Sehar (early morning,subah) kareeb hai,taaron ka haal kya hoga,                              ab intezaar ke maaron ka haal kya hoga,                                                     tere 5 th ke update  ne ai ISB kabhi yeh socha hai,                               tere update ke maaron ka haal kya hoga                                                                                                            

ISB PGP vs SP Jain Global MBA ( tri city model)

I am a digital advertising professional with 58 months of work experience. I have worked in an ad network that focused on web desktop advertising for 2 years and for the last, almost 3 years, I have been with a mobile ad exchange. I currently head the delivery and key partner alliances for an affiliate marketing product ( performance driven advertising on the mobile medium)  within my company. I have worked in San Francisco for 6 months and for most of my 5 years of work, have dealt with International clients such as Groupon, British Airways, Tesco, King.com, Microsoft and the likes. What would be a better option for me? 

I may be counting my chickens before they hatch considering that ISB results are not yet out but I will need to act fast when they are out. Please advise. 

Everything will be okay in the end. If it's not okay, it's not the end - John Lennon. Thinking this but also, freaking out. 

Pehle GMAT mein score laane ki tension, phir essays likhne ki tension, phir essays ke deadline ki tension, phir interview calls aane ki tension, phir interview ki tension, and ab ye results ki tension.

ISB, for sure would have given me atleast 5 grey hair by now :/

Lot of nervous energy around!

I guess, I have managed to beat the nerves this far and I will give my recipe here.

1. @Work: The day after my interview, I took on a challenge at work that guzzled about 2000 man hours that far with no result. I have worked real hard and brought about a turn around now and this has really kept me busy. Very busy and content (feeling of greater self-worth, anyone?)

2. Job interviews: I have agreed to attend a couple of interviews for exciting positions and preparing my case separately for these positions has revealed a lot about my professional worth ( I had the luxury to act cocky! But hey, they are still talking)

3. Reading: I have started reading a bunch of books, snacking on pages every chance I got. I am reading More Than Money by Mark Albion (I greatly recommend this one) and Getting More by Stuart Diamond (not to mention others on data, analytics etc.)

4. Coursera: I have signed up for some exciting courses, specially Corporate Finance essentials (By Javier Estrada of IESE) and Financial Markets by Bob Shiller (Sterling Professor, Yale). And the added excitement of slowly becoming comfortable with the esoteric finance jargon. (Both are free of cost)

I can't believe how much I have managed to get done over the last one month and a majority of it could be attributed to this "nervous energy". So, Thank you, ISB!

I wish I had written this much earlier though! 😃

I think this whole thing is a blessing in disguise, in every way!

I would take this renewed confidence, any day!

Cheers!

thought of listening to some good music to relax..

first song...tera hi hoga jo tera nahi hai, ae dil bata kyu tujhko itna yaki hai :-P

Second song..shanivaar rati mujhe neend nahi aati :-P:-P

Third song...tum tak tum tak arzi meri, ab aage jo marzi teri :-P:-P:-P

Is it a coincidence, or am I linking ISB to every song :-p:-P:-P

We are missing a current ISB student, who can possibly get us some update.
