Calling all INSEAD MBA Applicants: (Sept 2017 Intake) Class of 2018!!

Hi, could you please share what is the entrepreneurship quetions about ? I'm really nervous about this video thing .....

Wow! that's cool, if so, I hope to get the short list decision before Christmas.

Regarding the video interview:
I was nervous the first 20 seconds of the first question then somehow things got 'normal' and relaxed.
The questions were about "my vision" , INSEAD MBA , diversity and entrepreneurship.[/quote]

Can you please share what the vision and entrepreneurship questions were?

Well. no one is too old ever to learn ! Don't let that noise hinder ambitions.
Best of luck.

Done with the video interviews.

It wasn't that hard but I am not sure what they are looking for.

My prep was very formulaic. Answer what why when how for every question.

I also noted a few career high points that can apply across questions so I don't waste time thinking of examples.

the practice questions were very useful to correct expressions. I also practiced with a lot of Kellogg and yale questions.

In the actual video interview, I did 5 instead of 4. The video failed in the first one and I was asked to repeat.

Lack of international work experience

I faced a problem during the video interview. The 3rd question's recording was that of the 2nd question but the text on the bottom was different. Because of this, I got a bit distracted.
Please advise me if I should contact the Adcom and intimate them regarding this.

Yes of course you can contact your application contact first. Call him/her.

Sorry for my late reply guys : I have been in the desert and offline for the past several days...

My practice questions :
- name a company you admire
- what does success mean to you

My real questions :
- why insead
- how would you establish the foundations of your company
- management style
- how did you build your international experience

Enjoy !

Boys & Girls...

Just finished the video interviews.. Interesting experience.. Applying through R2 (obviously).. Hoping for the best!

Guys, there is a correlation between participation in this forum and admission to Insead. So participate like crazy

On a more serious note, thanks for your feedbacks and please keep'em flowing. I'll add them to the first page.

Now just relax while you wait and good luck!!!

Absolutely, it might not even matter but they should def know.

Amen to that.

My video interview went OK. I was wearing a suit (I didn't for one other school). INSEAD has my best impression.

Questions were based on leadership, international outlook, ethical dilemma and one that I can't remember.

The one thing that I tried to do in the videos is to highlight WHY INSEAD as that's something I couldn't touch upon a lot in the essays.

I will mention a goof up. In anxiety, I replaced the word 'global' with continental. I hope they don't think I was talking about food.

But I hope I gave them a reason to chuckle.

haha, I do think so as well )))) or maybe just people who take part in this forum tend to spend more time on their applications, don't know :D :D

did my interview as well. the questions were about vision, two qqs on diversity and one on a project that I liked most

honestly, the overall advise I can give - practice. First do the questions for Kellog and Yale, that are available on web. then do the qqs from this forum and the last thing - those at the website. There is a high probability that you will get one of the questions listed here.

Don't overdo it as well, should catch a moment when you are ready and not tired already.

I had a suit on, but only on top

is anyone going to the Insead MBA meet up sessions being organized? I am going to the one in Chicago today. this one seems to be organized by Maria Reis

So, Video Interviews were submitted yesterday and I honestly cannot remember any of the questions...

Now time to get myself a Christmas gift...ha ha (yes, those are my fingers on the PS4)

All the best to everyone and would the admitted students be kind enough to post the latest figures from the INSEAD MBAConnect site

Hey all

I got the following questions during my interview
1- practice
narrate one situation where non-verbal cues have helped resolving a conflict.

One situation where you felt extremely stressed and how you came out of it ?

2- actual
what is diversity according to you ?( i did well on this one )
Describe one situation where you faced ethical dilemma? how did you resolve ? what factors did you consider while resolving it ?( GOd knows how one is expected to answer all of that in one minute !!)( not sure how well did it go )
What according to you is required to start a successful business and than to run it ?( i spoke about successful entrepreneurship. )
One project which interested you the most and why ?( i already had an answer for this one)


All the best
