congrats!!
This is really funny. I dunno whether to celebrate or to go quietly mad.
For the record, I have been offered admit for class of 06, but i have to get a GMAT score of 680...before March 10th!!
Am i going to be the only guy aiming for 700 with a prep of something like five days..or since i am working (20 hours give or take a few).
My profile: for those interested
BE polymer/5.5 yrs WE/99.2%ile in CAT.
cheers.
poik,
First of all, congrats on the admit to the class of 2006 at the ISB. Welcome on board. OK, over to the issue vexing you at the moment:
This is my recipe for a 700+ for you in 5 days:
1. go on leave immediately (if you have not already done that)
2. rush to the nearest store and get these 2 books:
a. Kaplan 800
b. OG.
3. work thru. sections of the K-800 one at a time...this definitely is possible. I think no one section on this book should take more than 6 hours. The densest ones are those on CR, RC and SC in that order and the second half of DS.
4. you should be done with K-800 in 2 days flat.
5. rummage thru. the SC and CR sections - completely - on the OG and the last 50 each in PS and DS (caution: this is very dense): serve as per time constraints.
I think you have the stuff to do this. Assuming you do this, I guess you should safely sail thru. the target score.
Happy GMATing.
vin.
PS: Take at least one PP on the afternoon before your test.!
Congrats PG, Simba and everyone who made it to ISB.
Class of 2006 at ISB is sure ALL SET TO ROCK...
Keep us posted though. Many like me want to rock the 2007 class 
Hey all! I just became a member of this site. Congratulations to all those who got into ISB. I chanced upon this site a day before my ISB interview and needless to say the number of interviews posted here went a long way to soothe my nerves. I have been waitlisted for ISB and wanted to know if anyone has any idea as to what are the chances of getting the final call. How many are waitlisted?
Gmat: 660
PS: Hope this message reaches the right forum!
guys..tell me frankly. I have been admitted to the class of 2006 in ISB. HOwever, I still cant get over the fact that the course costs a god-forsaken 14.5 lakhs...!! do the salaries at the end of the year actually to repay this kind of a loan in one lifetime.
If you look at it ISB always shares its average salary..never the median. So it could easily be that the 20-30 odd people with 7+ work ex get jobs as functional heads with 15+ salaries and skew the average towards their side. sorry for being so pessimistic..but somehow this does bother me.
does anyone know an ex-ISBite who can share his personal experiences?

Well, your worst fears could be true. never trust a book by its cover.
I would suggest - join isbpgp yahoogroups. wealth of info there.
Plus, yes, the higher (or say average, average+) salaries are skewed towards ppl with higher work ex. With just 1 year WE, you might not be in the most favourable position during placements. IIMs/Other good B Schools of the country may make more sense for you at the moment.
& again, i would reiterate .. if you think that cost justification is a make or break criteria, think hard.

Thanks amit for the frank response. Yah..it was me who had been offered an admission last year too...but then personal reasons didnt allow me to join. Do you know of anyone who might be in the same position as mine so that I can have a genuine discussion with the guy. In any case, it would be wonderful if you can send across the address for the yahoogroup of ISB. i will look out for it in any case as well. Thanks again...
