­Hey everyone, I was admitted to the MBA 25J intake and was hoping to start at the Fontainebleau campus. However, due to some personal issues, I delayed submitting my deposit. Now that I've decided to go, I've been informed that the Fontainebleau campus is full and I can only start at the Singapore campus.

My goal is to work in Europe after graduation, so I really want to spend as much time as possible at the Fontainebleau campus. Does anyone know if there’s any way to switch campuses? Has anyone been through a similar situation?

Since I've been in Asia for a long time and don’t speak any European languages, I feel like I really need to build more connections in Europe, both with classmates and alumni. Starting in Singapore feels like it might not help with that goal. I've heard that the first couple of periods are the best times to bond with classmates because they’re core periods and everyone is together every day. If I join midway, it might be difficult to build strong connections and friendships with the European students I guess. So, I'm really desperate to see if there's any way to switch to the Fontainebleau campus.

INSEAD's staff mentioned that the seats at Fontainebleau are full, but I’m wondering if there’s any flexibility or if it's truly impossible to switch to FBL. Any insights or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Hello, Criska61

Congratulations on your admission to the INSEAD MBA program!

Given your goal of working in Europe post-graduation, it's understandable that you want to maximize your time at the Fontainebleau campus. Here are a few steps to consider: Contact the INSEAD administration again to explain your situation and emphasize your strong preference for Fontainebleau. Ask if there’s a waitlist or any possibility of a spot opening up. INSEAD allows campus switches between periods, so starting in Singapore and switching to Fontainebleau later might be an option.

Contact current students and alumni through platforms like LinkedIn and INSEAD's alumni network for advice and insights. Participate in relevant clubs, virtual events, and networking opportunities to build connections with European classmates and alumni. Consider learning a European language to enhance your networking and job prospects in Europe. If you have a compelling reason, appealing to a faculty member who can advocate for you might help. Your proactive approach and flexibility will be key. Best of luck!
