Admit at Oxford. Ding at INSEAD [#permalink] New post   12 Mar 2007, 11:08
Just received an email that I have been admitted at Oxford but denied after interview at INSEAD.

Mixed feelings but good to have an admit in hand.

BTW, I also applied at Cranfield, UK (as a safety school) and admitted with £10,000 ride.

hosam,
congrats on your INSEAD admit. This season is surely tough. I am going to Oxford for sure.

Dukes,
Thanks and good luck for INSEAD.

agsfaltex,
Thanks buddy.

gmatmba,
Thanks. It's not like grapes are sour but what I want to do in life needs a brand and I will get it after graduating from Oxford. What's your status?

jatt,
Thanks. Oxford is almost a clear winner.

Juaz,
Thanks. How r u doing?

gmat_crack,
I haven't heard from you or I missed you posts?

eazyb81,
Thanks dear. Its a great schools with a fantastic university.

trivikram,
Thanks dear.

rhyme,
Thanks. Your killer apps review was really helpful.

jaynayak,
Thanks and you are right. I am seriously going to prove that INSEAD has made a mistake.

BEST OF LUCK TO ALL OF YOU. KEEP IN TOUCH GUYS.

Moderators, If you like I would like to be an ambassador for Oxford. If you like then you may update my name in the ambassador's list.

I know it is the lingo but something makes me shudder when Oxford University is termed as "a good brand".

Congrats - Oxford is oxford. No matter what they do they set a high standard (even if starting a little behind the field). It's a nice place and you can get to London easily on the m40 bus.

GAURAVA,
Sorry to hear about INSEAD. Congrats on Oxford. I will see you at Oxford.

3underscore,
In no way I am undermining Oxford. I am of opinion: where ever I am, that is the best place.

swgotz,

Congrats. My preference was Templeton College. How about you?

aaudetat,

Thanks. Have you decided where you are going?
