INSEAD - Dec '11 waitlist

Hi I posted the details for you on the INSEAD Batch of 2011.

2 Serbians in this batch so far.

Well if you have an admit and you have paid your fees you can theoretically differ upto the next two batches, so for e.g if you have been admitted you can then ask for a deferral for upto the next batch in the same timing.

Again, the decision is their discretion. I am unsure anyone would ask for a deferral once admitted and he has paid a portion of his fees unless there are really credible reasons.

In your case as you have not yet applied, it is better you wait till R2 , to make up your mind or apply for R1 for the next Jan intake. I agree with your thought process.

HankScorpio: Did you make it through the WL. Any news from your coordinator.

Hi All.....i am waitlisted in R2 jan. 2011 intake....my profile is indian/690/4 years/Business Research and Competitive intelligence industry/currently located in Eastern Europe....
another waiting round begins...

Let's remain positive; there is still some chances!
Wait and see.

No news, I've put aside my hopes for INSEAD D11 for now and am focusing on INSEAD J12, LBS, Said and Judge. I've also started my own consulting company and getting in for J12 would give it time to grow. Not sure which way I'll go if I get the accept for D11, but I'll cross that bridge when I get there. Cheers!

Hi @JZHANG2008 - Can you please let us know the latest count on mba connect.

Thanks a lot - KC

Hi, everyone. There are currently 395 registered accounts for class of 11D out of which 44 (F-13, M-21) are from India.

Hang in there guys!

It sounds like you've got amazing plans for yourself. Best of luck and really hope to see you at Fonty in Jan.

Thanks again

Thanks! I hope to have the opportunity to make that difficult decision to come to Fonty in Jan.

The count for R1 was 237. That means only 158 admit offers were made in R2. There are still 100+ seats available between R3 and the waitlists.

Hang in there guys and all the best.

Thanks a lot for the information.

Would you happen to know how many americans have been admitted so far?

Thanks again for your response!

JZHANG2008, if you don't mind, could you please post a M/F and campus breakdown of Koreans?

Thank you so much!!!

So how many total seats are there for Jan 2011 Intake? I was under the impression that it was 450, but by the calculation above, it seems more like 500?

If anyone knows the answer to this, I would be much obliged. Thanks

Hi, all. The current head count on mba connect is 397. There are 34 Americans, 17 M and 17 F. There are 6 Koreans, 3 M and 3 F. 5 of them are starting at Fonty. I am not sure about the size of the intake for the 11D class but 11J has 500 students.

I hope that answers everyone's questions. Hang in there.

Hello friends,

I am planning to apply to Insead in round 2 for Sept 2011 intake. I worked for 2 years at a MNC and after that I decided to volunteer for 1 year (July 2010 - July 2011) in the non-profit space. My plan is to get an MBA and return to my previous employer (MNC).

My question is regarding the Job essays at Insead
Q1: Please give a detailed description of your job, including nature of work, major responsibilities; and, where relevant, employees under your supervision, size of budget, number of clients/products and results achieved.

This typically asks about our current job. Given the fact that i have only spent 3 months in my current job (non-profit), would it be advisable for me to describe my current job or should i talk about my previous job (MNC) where I have done substantial work.

Q2. Please give us a full description of your career since graduating from university. If you were to remain with your present employer, what would be your next step in terms of position?

This question expects me to articulate what would be my next position at my current job (non-profit). I do not have plans to continue at this job, so should I describe some position that I might be eligible for if i would continue for 2 more years, or should I describe my next position at my previous employer (MNC).

I am confused, I am not sure of the best way to approach these questions. Any guidance from the members is greatly appreciated, thank you.

PS: I am not officially on a sabbatical, I have left my previous company with an understanding that I will rejoin them in 2-3 years.
