Hi
Anyone applying for R2 INSEAD 2011 Jan intake? I am working on my essays and finding it very difficult to manage along with work.
I think the most difficult essay is the strength and weakness essay.
Anyway, I had a question? There is a section in the application which asks you to state a reason as to why Toefl is not required.
I am from India, but have been working in Singapore for the last 3 years and English has been the language used in high school, graduation and post grad, but education is still from India.
I have basically 2 questions:
1. Is the above a valid reason to ask for Toefl exemption?
2. Will INSEAD notify whether I need to take Toefl post the application submission?
I just wrote "Undergraduate course was taught in English" recommend you write the same and it should be sufficient..
Also, it will be backed up by your undergrad / post grad transcripts (when u send them by post)
Dont worry, you shouldnt have any problem with the TOEFL waiver.
All the best
PS just a tip for your essay - dont write what u think they want to read. go with what you really feel are your personal strength and weaknesses.. i believe that when u go with the actual facts, the essay turns out to be more convincing..
