An excellent one year program power packed with learning, multi-tasking, networking, sleepless nights yet completely worth it, as you develop long term bonds with a diverse peer group that last a lifetime. The biggest takeaway would be to learn more about your strengths and weaknesses through out the year during the course of assignments, study group and professional club meetings, discussions with world class professors from the top b-schools of the world and networking with alumni over coffee/Skype/mock interviews or simply over a call. Not to forget the campus parties and opportunities to take up leadership positions in events that occur all through the year.
I would suggest future applicants to at least come with a broad idea about what they wish to take away in terms of their career goals during the course of the 1-year program as there will be tremendous opportunities to test one's strengths and weaknesses throughout the year. Having a concrete idea about one's post ISB goal and working towards that from Day 1 will give him/her a sense of purpose amidst the 51 week roller coaster ride which is a transformational experience in itself.
