INSEAD -January 2014 Intake - Calling All Applicants

I submitted an application to get a quote, but they replied they still need proof of admit

yeah thats what the website sez...btw do u kno anybody who has successfully got a loan frm prodigy???

i m banking on prodigy along with personal n family savings...n yeah a scholarship wud b swell!!

not personally, but I know a few guys from my region, who got loans from prodigy

one of the reasons I applied in R1 is to have more time to settle funding

same here...btw does one need to show an inflated bank account or other proofs of savings are also ok wrt prodigy?

cyber,

for the loan part, what do you need to start ?

Hi - you'd have already spent a lot of time on the 3 Whys : Why MBA, Why INSEAD, Why now. The interview discussions will be focused on these questions. I wonder if there is any prep for the rest of the questions. Go through this forum for interview experiences and questions.

Once you hear about the interview invite, it will be your responsibility to schedule interviews at a mutually convenient time. You'll be given at least 3 weeks to finish your interviews. If you think you need to prepare more, you can schedule your interviews towards the end of 2 week or so (to make sure you have ample time to reschedule if an interviewer bails on you or 'pulls out' ).

on top of my mind: income breakdown, expenses breakdown, GMAT, employment history, future career goals, one referee from family, one referee from work

one referee from family o.O ???? like who ? and what involve ? How long this process will take ?

those are just fields I remember from the application. it did not start actually, because they asked for proof of admit. the website claims they can process application in 2 days

cyber,

We think the same. I hope we both get admit. I was going to start the loan application too, but I read somewhere they need proof of admit, so I stop lol

the prodigy loan also sez that they will assess ur financial capability by checking ur recent bank statements...
my question is...shud v liquidate our savings in other forms n convert them into bank deposits???

didn't think of this yet. but in any case we should not, I guess, inflate our actual savings more than we have in reality, because there is a risk prodigy will offer a loan for a lesser amount then we need

yeah..but at the same time if they realise that ur savings r insubstantial,they mite not give u a loan...as they say..''u do ur best and prodigy will do the rest''!!

good point, did not think of it before. still, I would not "rush into the hell ahead father" (our saying )

first I need to get admit, then I apply for scholarship and loan. Prodigy can cover up to full tuition amount, so your savings should equal at least your anticipated living expenses, I suppose

ok, 2 weeks left. some lucky will know decision still this week. anyone on this forum asked adcom for early decision?

11 more days to go!! good luck folks I am eagerly waiting to see some admit posts this week!

BTW, there is no group for in facebook for our batch (Jan 14 intake right) ?
