Hello Aceman626!
1) Although I have not yet applied to INSEAD, my recommender submitted his rec to INSEAD and I have not received any confirmation from Adcom. But maybe you just ask adcom to be sure...
2) I know people who graduaded from INSEAD and IMD. They easily switched their careers to consulting, so I think it is possible! Those schools usually have a brilliant career service, at least IMD has. But a 10-month programme including holiday and recruitment is quite short and candidates do not have the chance to gain experience in a summer internship. That is the reason why I hesitate to apply to INSEAD (and I do not wish to work for consulting firm).
cheers,

Anyone in for INSEAD Jan 09 intake?
I have a few questions, any help will be appreciated.
1) When recs are submitted online, do we get an email notification? My recommender sent it in, but i didn't get anything indication. How do we verify that it has been sent in?
2) How's INSEAD for career switchers into top tier consulting McK, Bain, Bcg? I know those firms hire a lot from INSEAD, but how many of those are company sponsored, and how many already have relevent experience pre MBA? I would like to know how easy it is to do a complete career switch into the top consulting firms.
Thanks.
