Hi,

I am planning to apply to ISB for the 2012 intake. However, ISB is not my first choice of B-School as it is a 1-year course and I am looking at a course of at least 18 months duration. My query is about the conversion rate for Round 2 applicants at ISB. I am apprehensive about applying in Round 1 because if I make it, I will have to deposit Rs.2 Lacs by November end, which is too early in the admission process of other B-Schools. Hence, my question is what number of applicants who apply in Round 2 actually make it into ISB? Is it taking a big risk to apply in Round 2?

Thanks,
Sawan

Hi Sawan,

I recently attended an ISB Infosession at Bangalore and they discussed this topic in detail. According to them, they allocate a specific percentage of offers to both R1 & R2. If I am not wrong, these percentages are almost similar for both R1 & R2.

As per them, there is no disadvantage in applying during R2.

Best regards,
Sandeep

Hi Sawan,

We have been helping ISB aspirants for 3 years now and we can say with confidence that chances in R2 are less than R1 everything else kept the same.
This is because:

More offers are given in R1 ( which is true for most of B schools including ISB)
ISB receives much higher number of appps in R2 . This is because more people take GMAT in Aug, Sep, Oct and hence they miss R1.

Hence acceptance rate for everyone is better in R1.

Hope this helps.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
