Although I belong to the IT services department, my job role involves a lot of business interaction as well. Any thoughts on my chances of an admit into ISB? Is retaking and improving on my GMAT a must at this point? Hi All,

I have a 660 on my GMAT, with good acads and work-ex (10+ yrs mostly international in US). Although I belong to the IT services department, my job role involves a lot of business interaction as well.

Any thoughts on my chances of an admit into ISB? Is retaking and improving on my GMAT a must at this point?

From your name, I can make out that the first condition applies to you, third does not. Much will depend on whether u r from IT.. :-)In case, u feel u have some scope of improvement, by all means retake the test.. That said, honestly speaking, there're not many of us who can say that they're proud of their work.. So if you've really very compelling stories from work and beyond, may be you can get thru.. BTW, I'm almost sure of one thing.. They're gonna read u essay even if your score is <600.. Gud luck!! @Swetha:

I'm apping in R2 for sure.. 2 lakhs may not matter in long term; but it means a lot to me, if I need to take this amount of my meagre savings :(( This purely is a personal decision and has to be taken considering your own financial situation.. If you think you can manage to take out 2 Lakhs, go ahead and app in R1!! Hey Pranay

After speaking with a few people who have passed out from ISB and a few who are with ISB this year, I was told to apply in R1 as you have a better chance in R1 as compared to that in R2. So, 2 lakhs shouldn't matter than much once you get a good admit in some college abroad. Let me know your thoughts on this. -Pranay Hi,
