Are we allowed to apply again if we get rejected in one round during same year?

Jun 3, 2022

Arunaksh no, we either get selected /waitlisted or rejected only once per academic year. Can’t re-apply

Updated on: Jun 3, 2022

Don’t mean to sound harsh - what makes u think if u were rejected in r1 lets say and if u apply again u will get selected 🙄 btw. No u are not allowed to apply in the same application cycle

Again...u can however apply as a reapplicant in the next year

Hope this clarifies the doubt... however if u want you can apply twice, thrice in applications for IIM A PGPx (1yr mba ) program...given you have what they want and fit into their eligibility criteria

Hi Unnati1502 , you should aim for a GMAT score in the 720+ range, but the GMAT is only one of the many variables that determine the prospect. Your personal narrative, your professional growth story, your ability to manage stakeholders at work and a well rounded personality demonstrated through involvement in ECs and thoughtful initiatives will play a major role in your candidacy for ISB.

My GMAT is scheduled in November. Is it advisable to start working on application essays before GMAT official score? Thank you for your help.

Hi everyone, I applied in R1 last year and was rejected. I just received an email from ISB asking me to book a 10 minute feedback session (by filling a google form) in which they will be able to provide me feedback on my application. Wanted to understand what all questions I should ask to make the discussion fruitful? I am planning on applying again this year. Thanks so much!

Jun 9, 2022

Rajat, I also received this email today. I applied in R2. I am open to suggestions on how to approach.

I did filled the form but didnt heard back from the team yet. So i am not sure if they will give feedback. If you get the call - better to ask area where you where weak last year and any improvement spot. Rest depends on you.

Hi ApratimG , aim as high as you can on the GMAT but definitely upward of 700. A 720-730 would be ideal.

Your academics are good. Your background in rural water infrastructure, if portrayed in the right manner, would make for an interesting narrative. About notable achievements, think about how you have demonstrated a growth mindset throughout your career, for example, in taking up challenges, managing to transition to strategic roles, managing your stakeholders efficiently, and so on. Convey the impact of your work on the business and the community.

720-730 would be ideal. 710 can help you get the interview call but getting the final admit would be a little competitive.
