Hey everyone,
I had applied to ISB PGP last year, and honestly my application was a complete mess from my essays to my score. I went into it knowing I probably wouldn’t get in. A big part of the reason I applied was due to pressure from my parents, and I was not in the right mental space at all (was also diagnosed with adhd and borderline depression eventually) . Looking back, I understand this was probably the worst way to approach an application, but at that time I wasn’t thinking clearly and just wanted to get it done.
The past year has been very different for me. I have taken time to reflect, worked on myself, and sought therapy. I am in a much better place now, both mentally and professionally, and I am planning to apply again with a completely fresh perspective.
My concern is whether the admissions committee would view my previous application negatively. This year’s application would be significantly stronger in terms of clarity, effort, and overall profile, but I am worried that last year’s rushed attempt might hurt my chances.
Would really appreciate honest inputs from anyone who has reapplied or has insight into how ISB views reapplicants.
Thanks!
