Calling all Applicants: INSEAD August 2024 Intake

I just received an interview invite! AO EL

EL is Alain my AO and I got my interview invite September 29. I submitted my application September 04.

I don't remember all my questions but one was around what is culture according to you. Another one was around what you would do if you met the POTUS. There were two more, I don't remember them clearly but they were around team management and what does it mean to be in a team or something.

Don't stress too much about it and practice a little on the portal!

Dear INSEAD Aspirants,

The criteria INSEAD applies to its applicants are a perpetual subject of discussion and interest. INSEAD is unique in that it explicitly highlights global orientation as a key criterion for applicants. This has generated significant curiosity and questions about what makes a strong candidate for this prestigious Business school.

I have regularly engaged with INSEAD aspirants on this platform, and I provide candid feedback when profiles don't align with INSEAD's preferences. While I will continue to be honest in my response, I encourage applicants from the impact and sustainability sectors to step forward should they want to discuss their INSEAD prospects with me.

INSEAD has emphasized the importance of sustainability in its curriculum this year. Recalling my time at INSEAD, I can attest that as recently as five years ago, I do not specifically recall sustainability being at the forefront of even my most favorite courses taught at INSEAD.

INSEAD has possibly recognized this sentiment and has strongly advocated for taking action. This year, INSEAD has incorporated sustainability into all core courses of its MBA curriculum and aims to cultivate leaders who can champion solutions to significant global challenges while also fostering financial performance and advancement.

Recently, some very inspiring aspirants from the Indian impact and sustainability sector reached out to me for a profile evaluation. I strongly believe that their unique perspectives, despite limited international exposure, will be highly valued at INSEAD. Whether you have an atypical background or not, I would be delighted to have a conversation and offer assistance in any way I can.

I sent an email to inform her about interview dates. She's on sick leave until 16 October inclusive. I don't know how they'll handle this with the deadline TBH.

I also inquired about the application status. DC, my AO, is on medical leave and will be back tomorrow. Lets hope for the best. Only 2 days are remaining in interview decision deadline. Has anybody from India got interview invite for MBA AUG 2024 INTAKE ?.

Hi everyone, I received an email to apply for scholarships via the portal. However, I am noticing that the essay prompts have not been published. Is this the same case for you?

Same for me as well ^

.

Hi, I also received the scholarship mail. However Financing Officer mentioned that deadline is Oct 30th, while it’s stated to be Oct 24th on the portal. Did anyone receive the same information?

Yes, I see what you mean. I would assume this is a mistake as it says 24 October 2022 rather than 2023

ya thanks for pointing out. Now I notice that it’s July 2024 class. The portal may not be updated yet
