Any advice on how you got off the waitlist? Did you follow up with any email updates or materials to your coordinator/AdCom? I just got put on the waitlist as a R1 applicant for the January 2014 intake.

First of all, congrats on getting admitted!!! Wow, I bet you were holding your breath on that one. Is it one of your top schools, and have you accepted somewhere else already?

Hi everyone...

Just got off the waitlist as well but I have a dillemma.. Actually, I can not stop thinking about this!! I got accepted to ESADE two months ago and already paid a deposit non refundable and got a scholarship there.

What do you think I should do? It is some money difference between the two schools but INSEAD was always my first option and I have to get back to them on monday with my decision.

Do you think that the difference between the schools is worth this money? Everyone with an opinion regarding this please help me.

Hi Andre

I Would Definitely Go for Esade If I Were You... Schools Are very Much Similar In Reputation And Career Opportunities.. 23.000 Is A Huge Sum Of Money..especially In These uncertain Economic Times, Every Grain Of Asset Is important.. I Would definitely Take Esade At This Point..

Is anyone on the waitlist still waiting for the final decision.

Although I feel there are no hopes left at this stage, just wanted to understand whether there is no response because adcom are enjoying their vacation or whether they are waiting for something else to send the final mails?

Just realized - they might want to take their time after the holidays to determine who would be told that they were worth being on the waitlist but not good enough for the future, or those who would be asked to reapply..

I am in the same boat buddy. No news from them and every time I have written to them, the response has been Copybook style. "be rest assured that we will get back to you as soon as we have an update on your application" .

Well, this is weird.

Did anyone check with them very recently(within the last week)?

I know there is no chance now....but closure will definitely be appreciated.

Thanks nishniks and piyushpandey for responding..

I think they've just forgot to send out the final mails. Otherwise why on earth would they wait so long. What are your back up options. I am headed to Oxford.

Quite ironical I say. Operations at a management school !!!

But for some strange reason, I still want to believe in "No News is Good News" ... !!!

Hi Guys,

INSEAD just replied to my email stating

"First of all I would like to sincerely apologise for not yet being able to confirm your final status on the waitlist. Please understand that there are many applicants on the waitlist of very different quality. Be assured that we will get back to you very shortly with the committee’s final recommendations, once we have studied all waitlisted applications in detail."

I don't know what to think of this. I thought most of the admitted students would already be at their respective campuses...
Anyone else got a similar reply from them, or rather has anyone else not got a ding email from them as yet?

@MBAgg: no ding mails so far in my understanding. We are all in the same boat.

No ding email. Same response as above. My interaction with another waitlisted candidate (fafelu - he is a part of this forum as well) tells me that INSEAD is considering to offer seats in the class starting January 2014. So may be they have withheld our status to consider us for this option. Fingers crossed !!!
