Received email from INSEAD that I was R2 waitlisted. Devastated but eager to get back on track.
Any tips from those who got off the R1 WL? Thanks
Sorry to hear that
wsh1223,
Insead123 and
ishanyadav22. Having been there I know how disappointing it feels. You likely won't hear back from INSEAD till around when R3 results are due out. Basically what I think happens is that in the next round they add all the remaining waitlisted applications to that same round for consideration. There might also be some movement come late Jan when first installments are due and people with multiple offers decide where to go.
I wrote to my AO to send through some career updates, but apparently it didn't matter because when I got the call I was told that by then they had already decided to accept me.
The worse part about being on the waitlist is not being able to plan. So it might be a good idea to accept your place on the waitlist but also have a backup plan. Other than that, don't lose hope because there is still a chance you get a place as evidenced by three of us on this forum
Good luck!
