I have made a mistake in the application:<br /> The tab under I had to fill the details of my reviewer, I have filled the " Relation with Reviwer" as "Supervisor" instead of "Previous Supervisor".<br /> I realized this mistake after I had confirmed the details and after my recommendor had submitted the recommendation as well.</p> <p>Please suggest if this mistake would go against my application. Should I send an official mail to PGAdmissions informing / admitting the mistake I have made? Would that help in anyway?</p> <p>-Abhishek </p> http://www.takegmat.com/answer/topic/help-me-understand#post-155 Wed, 17 Sep 2008 15:38:40 +0000 Admission@ISB 155@http://www.takegmat.com/answer/ <p>Raghav,</p> <p>You do not exactly fall under the IT applicant category. A score of around 700 will do you good.</p> <p>Admissions Team </p> http://www.takegmat.com/answer/topic/help-me-understand#post-137 Fri, 12 Sep 2008 21:24:11 +0000 raghavv 137@http://www.takegmat.com/answer/ <p>Hima,</p> <p>Appreciate your response. Got your message that the overall profile is what makes true impact rather than any one criterion.</p> <p>I asked this question because I had seen your response to another question where you'd said: "Lately, the GMAT score of applicants from IT applicant pool has gone up tremendously. The average GMAT score in the this pool is 730, so it is entirely your call if you want to apply with your current GMAT score or not."</p> <p>So, if I do fall under the category of 'IT applicants' then I know that it would need a GMAT score close to 730 to beef up my profile. If I don't (say I fall under the 'consulting' category), I guess a lesser score would be sufficient.</p> <p>Could you please reflect?</p> <p>- thanks. </p> http://www.takegmat.com/answer/topic/help-me-understand#post-136 Fri, 12 Sep 2008 19:00:17 +0000 Admission@ISB 136@http://www.takegmat.com/answer/ <p>Raghav,</p> <p>Your chances of being a successful candidate depends on your entire profile. The industry that you belong to matters very little here. The key things taken into consideration are</p> <p>· Academic record</p> <p>· Work experience (quality &#38; depth of your work experience, industry insights)</p> <p>· GMAT score</p> <p>· Leadership potential </p> <p>· Communication skills</p> <p>· Career aspirations</p> <p>Quality in each and every component of your application is essential to be successful. We recruit students who are intrinsically bright and are decent performers in all the areas they are exposed to. </p> <p>Admissions Team </p> http://www.takegmat.com/answer/topic/help-me-understand#post-135 Thu, 11 Sep 2008 04:08:10 +0000 raghavv 135@http://www.takegmat.com/answer/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>I work as a retail domain consultant (business consulting) for the consulting arm of a leading IT services company. I have good international exposure and my current role warrants me to engage with senior executives (C-level/VP/Directors) in global retailer organizations. Would I fall under the category of "IT applicants" as per ISB's classification?</p> <p>Your answer would help me gauge my chances of making it to ISB in 2009.</p> <p>- thanks. </p> http://www.takegmat.com/answer/topic/2009-or-2010#post-121 Mon, 01 Sep 2008 18:52:29 +0000 Admission@ISB 121@http://www.takegmat.com/answer/ <p>Narinder PS,</p> <p>Ypur work exp can be from any organisation - MNC or Indian.

I think you will probably have to compete with less number of applicants in 2009 than 2011. Moreover, the average work experience of any MBA class in a global business school is 5-7 years. Only around 10% of the batch will have an experience of 8 plus years. </p> <p>Also the question is, when should you do your MBA? This is something you need to ask yourself because you alone know whether the right time to pursue a management programme is now or a couple of years later. This is because people normally opt for a management programme when they have identified certain skill gaps. Essentially, you have to assess if there are any gaps between what you are at present and what you aspire to be in the future and if an MBA can bridge effectively the gap between these two levels.</p> <p>Admissions Team </p> http://www.takegmat.com/answer/topic/best-time-to-take-gmat#post-87 Thu, 21 Aug 2008 18:25:23 +0000 laasya shetty 87@http://www.takegmat.com/answer/ <p>Dear Sir,<br /> I am taking GMAT on 18 October.I have two years of work ex andconsistent academic record.My query is what are my chances to get into 2009 ISB batch? </p> http://www.takegmat.com/answer/topic/now-or-later#post-72 Mon, 18 Aug 2008 23:45:32 +0000 mohan.suswaram 72@http://www.takegmat.com/answer/ <p>Hi,<br /> I am currently having 7 years of experience with a reputed IT firm.</p> <p>I want to pursue my MBA through ISB.However, due to some personal commitments I am having to postpone it to 2011 when I will be 10 years experienced.</p> <p>When weighed against my current 7 years of experience, do I stand a better chance of pursuing ISB in 2011 or in 2009?</p> <p>Kindly suggest.</p> <p>Thanks<br /> Harini Mohan </p> http://www.takegmat.com/answer/topic/reapplicant-at-isb#post-30 Tue, 05 Aug 2008 20:45:45 +0000 Admission@ISB 30@http://www.takegmat.com/answer/ <p>Lakshaya,</p> <p>You have a decent GMAT score. I will suggest that you work hard on your essays and evaluations. You must highlight your leadership skills and international experience in your essays. Also emphasize on additions to your profile in the last one year.</p> <p>Re-applicants and fresh applicants are treated at par. In fact, in the current batch we have around 80 re-applicants. </p> <p>Admissions Team </p> http://www.takegmat.com/answer/topic/reapplicant-at-isb#post-29 Tue, 05 Aug 2008 07:39:49 +0000 lakshaya 29@http://www.takegmat.com/answer/ <p>Hello Mam,<br /> I applied in ISB for class of 2009 and was shorlisted for interview but was not offered final admission.<br /> I will be reapplying this time. In the last year I have gained significant leadership and international experience and worked more on my business plan. I have also been working on improving my communication skills as suggested in the interview feedback.</p> <p>I would be highly obliged if you can kindly answer my following queries -<br /> - I want to know what else should I try to improve/add as a re applicant.<br /> - My GMAT score is 730/5.0 should I try to improve that too? Considering I am of IT background.<br /> - Is it true that first preference is given to fresh applicants?</p> <p>Thanks and Regards!<br /> Rahul </p>
