hunger games.

by the way, reading INSEAD MBA blog I understood hunger is no joke. students apply everywhere even to companies/industries outside of their initial interest

No, I am not. I will still have to rely on student loan and scholarship to study at INSEAD. It is Warren Buffet, would you work for him for free lol?

still there is no universal and widely accepted opinion on what's better - own entrepreneurial career or selling your skills and time to others

Yeah, notice that previous intakes reaches same number of posts when they R3 applicants were admitted..

We have beaten the record before R1 admittance... Does it mean this year is more competitive? :) or simply less patient?

I think it's just a mix (deviation vs normal) of applicants here who are ready to talk. Personally I posted >100 posts though I could limit myself only to 4: submitted application, invited to interview, interview report, final decision. If dinged, it would be very sad to leave the forum.

Nadya,
I am based in Moscow, applied for campus in Fonty, but after doing additional research I decided Singy is better for me to start. If admitted I will ask for switching to Singy, but I do not know if I will be allowed to.

well, my landlord does not look like a mafia rep at all. however, since he does not pay taxes from the rent, he can be regarded as a criminal by russian tax authorities. renting an apartment in moscow provides far better returns than bank deposits

after soviet union collapsed we had a big disproportion between heavy/weapons industries and consumer oriented industries. so, some of our forbes billionaires earned their 1st capitals by trading quite basic stuff.
