INSEAD -January 2014 Intake - Calling All Applicants

Did anyone recieved an interview invitation from Isabelle R.? I am based on south america.
Thanks!

My coordinator is IR as well, and I didn't receive the invitation yet. In which country are you located?

Its a French holiday today guys

Stay away from your inbox!

anyone else heard from Carol T ?

Are you guys already selected and waiting for interview to be scheduled ? Sorry, new to the forum

I got my interview invite yesterday, and waiting to schedule interview

Congrats...can you please share your profile?

Mine is pretty similar to Ulmandy except he is way more impressive than I am. I am glad to get invite early, but interview invite is not admitted decision, I just grateful i made it to the next stage

Profile
GMAT — 650 (One of my weak point on the application, but I hope my other point made up for it, i got a decent score in Quant, but verbal not so much)
GPA — B.S Electrical Engineering (3.76) M.S Electrical Engineering (3.58)
WE — 42 months in Engineering Consulting with focus on Power System
Int'l Experience — North America, South East Asia,
Vietnamese who have studied, worked, and lived in various part of the U.S by myself over the past 10 years


Essays
As similar to Ulmandy, I spent 2 months and have like 4 draft of the essays. I also stuck to words limit. All my essays are exactly at word limits, not a words more . I basically tell them how i got to be the person I am today, and where I want to go, and how INSEAD will help me achieve that goal. I did not hire consultant, I have my essays read by my college professors, an INSEAD student, and people that know me well and incorporate their feedbacks


Recommendation
I did not have an alumnus as third recommender.
Both recommendations know me well. First one is my former supervisor, second one is a co worker with more seniority.

School Selection
INSEAD is the only program I applied to.

Thanks for the detailed post and best of luck for the interviews. You really nailed the essays.

Good lucks to you too. I forget to mention i am 26, and was on my own since 16 also.

ducceus,

Do you see any pattern in the profiles of your interviewers (similar industry, function, desired career path) ?

I am still waiting for my interview to be schedule. Carol T said she will let me know the interviewer contacts ASAP. I am a little bit nervous since I am not so sure who else got interview invite already. I will keep you guys up to date.
