TOEFL came, saw and went in a jiffy..

So I wrote TOEFL yesterday. Had booked this slot about 14 days ago, thought had not started preparation until 1-2 days before the exam. And to make things difficult in the exam yesterday, I had NOT taken a single full length mock test before. Blame it on the ISB result date (20 Nov) and LBS … Continue reading

ISB refuses..

CAT-2002 then. CAT-2008 now. I have grown old, sigh..

So the day has come. 20th Nov. Final decision for R1 applicants of ISB. Last year they had announced results 2 days earlier than the declared deadline.

Haas R1 gone. TOEFL, here I come…

So Haas didn’t budge from its requirement of TOEFL for Indian candidates. And with that, I breathed easy. I was out of town on Diwali for family regroup and since was desperate to meet the R1 deadline, was sure of spoiling the festive mood. Wrote to Haas about waiving off TOEFL and here is what … Continue reading

Since, I was not running this blog at the time of interview, here is the experience I posted at PG: ” I was interviewed today in Mumbai. No stress questions, no leadership, no quant questions. They asked … Continue reading

ISB interview… done!

Done with my ISB interview yesterday in Mumbai. Went fine, but get a feeling that the interviews won’t impact the final decisions in most cases. It will be the diversity factor and the impression they formed from your application. Here is the interview exp in brief: Location: Mumbai, Panel 2, 9 am. At around 8.30 … Continue reading
