Are all application outcomes released via phone calls first? Or just the admitted ones?

Greetings, Everyone!

With the interview invites flying out for September season deadlines, we congratulate everyone who has received an invite, and we wish you all the best in your future endeavors!🎉

For anyone who hasn’t received an invitation yet, be patient; sometimes, it might take a little more time than usual! But don’t worry; it will come. Also, especially for anyone Waitlisted, we are very sorry to hear that. However, you must understand that the waitlist doesn’t mean all is lost; there is hope!

At Top B-schools like INSEAD, the WL applicants are considered alongside all other applicants in subsequent application rounds and sometimes even into the summer after round 3 decisions have gone out.

Also, I recommend you follow these tips; it will definitely help with your current situation.

    1. Change viewpoint – View being waitlisted as having potential as an INSEAD student, but there was something about your application, or due to a greater applicant pool, that made adcom unable to extend you a full acceptance offer.

    2. Taking Steps – Actively taking steps to improve your candidacy; that’s all the committee cares about, a fighter! Showcase how you embodied some of INSEAD’s core values in the time period will definitely improve your candidacy.

    3. Don’t bombard Adcom with needless emails or check-ins; limit your communication to specific events, actions, or materials.

The bottom line is that the admissions team won’t know your level of dedication to attending INSEAD unless you tell them. So, reach out and explain your commitment to getting accepted, and finally, stress on Why INSEAD; what is it about the school that makes you want to be a part of it so much?

You can click – How do you deal with being waitlisted?



Lastly, for anyone denied, WE ARE WITH YOU! It’s just a minor setback in your road to your dream, nothing that you can’t shake off; there are plenty of Schools you can target in Round 2! We will try our best to assist in your quest for your dream B-school.

At MBanndBeyond, we believe that “it’s never too early to start preparing, and it’s never too late to improve.”

Hence, with that said, we bring to you a detailed profile (one of its kind ) of one of our candidates who got an Interview to invite from INSEAD for everyone’s thorough inspection & Understanding! This would help draw comparisons for your own profile rebuilding & remodeling.

Candidate Profile

    Work Experience — 4 years of work ex, as Product strategy at De shaw, CEO office at Razorpay

    Undergraduate Information — LSR 2019, 8.6 --> Top 10%

    Target Schools — Insead R1 - the inclination of MBA to APAC.

    GMAT Score — 710

    Why MBA — Want to work in multi-functional roles

    Post MBA Goal — Management Consulting

    Critical Projects — Strategy projects from Singapore. Impact consulting - South APAC region

    ECAs — NGO started for women's empowerment

Well, yes, we did make some improvements, to be specific, on the aspects such as

    1. Why MBA? - made it more specific and highlighted why now is the right time for an MBA for you.
    2. Post-MBA goals - polished the short-term as well as long-term goals to present a strong profile to adcoms
    3. Clarity of global vision (very important) - real-world problem needs brainstorming heavily
    4. Impact on the profile both before and after MBA - this needs to be supported with real-world examples

These are some points you can all learn from and highlight as a part of your profile-building process!

Not only that, if your profile is strong, we can help you connect with the Consultant who worked with her and even the Candidate himself in case anyone wants to discuss different aspects of their profile with them! Hence, you can either get on a FREE profile evaluation call with us to help you with your profile. Click HERE to get additional benefits.

We wish you all the best with your Application Process! :)
