INSEAD January 2015 Intake (Class of December 2015)

Congrats FreshLimeSoda! All the best for your interviews! Your profile is very impressive

All: Does this mean that all those who had to hear from SH have already heard? Or can we expect to hear in batches? Just wanted to gauge what the chances were and whether it's over......

It's not over until the AO says it's over

Has anyone from India heard from SH? Congrats Freshlimesoda! You have an impressive profile.

Nothing so far. I am anxiously refreshing my mail and this forum to check for new posts. Hardly attentive at work today .

Hey, u guys got till Friday to hear, so don't give up. I got my pre-selection email and my final admission confirmation call on the last day of the respective deadlines; everyone else had already heard back. Hang in there and don't give up till the last minute. Good luck to everyone

Those selected for the interviews, congratulations!! Most of us who got shortlisted for the interview in R1 ultimately got in, so seems like the interview is more of a verification round (ie to check if you are the person you claim to be in your essays) rather than another round with an independent review. So be confident during your interviews, run through your essays/ CV if you need to and kill it! Cya'll at Singa/ Fonty!

Cheers

Thanks for your encouraging message INSEADapplicant !

Could anyone check how many Vietnamese are there in R1 on MBAConnect ?

So, in Paris all the AOs would be busy wrapping up for the day, probably chatting among themselves, stuff like - "oh, I had 50 pre-selections to send today, didn't feel like sending more than 10, ended up sending only 5."

Yeah...Judging by the number of pre-selections sent out today on this forum compared to yesterday, I guess it was a pretty relaxed day for the AOs!

Just a thought (marked as 'low-priority')-

These b-schools need to streamline this process. Don't they know that candidates tend to get glued to the forums and waste their time in anticipation. No doubt there are demigods also who can channel their thoughts properly and stay productive throughout the day. Doesn't anyone think that, there should be a 2-3 hour window, let's say on one particular day during which the emails can be sent for decisions like pre-selections and selections. I fail to understand the complexities involved in this.

Received my preselection email earlier today by VM! feels fantastic. Luckily with other applications I had to wait for the deadline day pm to get a reply so was not expecting this one!

It appears that interviews must be finished by 25th July. If I am away for a few days before hand should I let them know or discuss with the interviewer(s)?

any advice would be appreciated.

Congrats to the people who got intw calls! Anybody else who has CT as their AO and still waiting to hear from her?

Anyone heard from Jasmine yet?

And, not sure if I'm permitted to ask this, but are there any other forums where people are posting about pre-selection?

Hi majic,

No news from Jasmine on my end.

Hope we hear from her soon!

If JS confirmed that INSEAD received all my documents and application was under review, does it mean that pre-selection email should also come from her?

Hi INSEAD15D - the answer to your question is Yes.

Thank you, majic! Has anybody heard from JS? When did she revert for R1 applicants?

Insead15d, im a round 1 admit and JS is my AO, JS usually sends the responses out a bit later than others, and I got the admit notification from her on deadline day as well. So hang in there guys!
