Hey guys quick question: do we places our responses to the Job Essays, in the provided boxes of the downloadable Job Description PDF or separately?[/quote]
Have any of you been able to upload your essays?
When saved on my comp, the PDF says "you cannot save data on this form". Any one successfully completed this yet?[/quote]

I am facing the same problem. When I enter the essays into the pdf, it does not save them. Any luck, anybody else?[/quote]

I'm able to upload my essays but the word counter below each essay box doesn't work - don't know if I should be worried about that or not?[/quote]

Thanks for your reply. One quick question- since you can't save the pdf for the essays, when you type in and then close the file, and re-open, is all your content already in there?
I seem to be able to enter the info, and then when I close the pdf file and re-open, it opens as a blank pdf again. Beginning to freak me out a bit now!

Download the PDF from the INSEAD iApply form, fill it in, save the PDF, and then upload it back to the iApply platform. Once it's uploaded try and open the file and see if your words are there. Make sure that you enter the essays in the PDF itself, and not save the PDF as a word file while downloading

For the word counter to work make a left click on the X number you have, i.e. X out of 350 words maximum.

One more question - where on the app/in the essays can I mention that I have a Singapore PR? I want it to get noticed because it makes it a lot easier to get a job in Singapore. Any suggestions, anyone?

In the first page of you application you can select the starting campus preference.
I'm not 100% but I think you cannot spend the whole MBA at the Singapore campus. Roughly 500 start the program per intake: 300 in France and 200 in Asia. 80% spends time in both campuses (400), therefore 200 from France and the 200 from Asia must have switched campus in a given intake. I believe you can bid to make the campus switch for P3-P5 or for P4-P5 periods. The summer internship happens between P3 and P4 for the January intake. When you talk about your short and long term career goals besides mentioning, job function, industry, etc, you can say where you see yourself working post-mba.
Cheers,

I am able to edit the PDFs and save them. I'm using Adobe Reader XI version 11.0.06. You can download it here https://get.adobe.com/reader/?promoid=JZEFU
Check system requirements though...

The same, I was working on Mac using the Preview application, but it wouldn't save properly or update the word count.

The best option, as PlastMan mentioned, is to download Adobe Reader 11 (free) whether its Mac or Windows. And use it to for a final PDF copy of essays to be uploaded to the application.

For some reason, I still can't seem to save a copy, even after downloading the version you guys mentioned (apparently the downloaded pdf should have an "extended" functionality, which mine doesn't seem to exhibit). Have written to INSEAD now, let's see what they say.

Boblives84, try this thing, once you have downloaded Adobe Reader 11, download the fresh(empty) pdf essay templates off INSEAD Application again, and open them with Adobe Reader 11, now copy and paste your essay text from old versions to new ones and save it, the word count should now be updated properly as well.

It worked for me, the reason was that existing essay pdfs functionality gets written off once tried to save it with some other software such as Preview for mac.

Hope it helps.

Hi Brobeedle, the same for me. I see the following message "Thank you for your interest in INSEAD Programmes. In order to apply, please complete the form below. We look forward to receiving your application!" and nothing else... :( Have no idea what's happened

Thanks Ziceg. After spending close to 5 hours yesterday with the IT support team at INSEAD, I finally have this resolved. Imagine the conversation between an Indian and a French national talking about all things IT :)
And yes, the iApply was down last night, and is now up again! Time to submit! All the best to everyone.

I believe they've said that a CV is not required, since the information they want is contained within the application.

Not sure if this is what you are referring to, but I experienced a situation where I kept getting looped back to the login page. I was able to get through by using incognito/private browsing mode.
