Hi all question for the experts. Are INSEAD interviews typically done in English? Whilst I meet the 2nd language requirements, I'm not exactly comfortable interviewing in my second language and afraid that I would not be able to articulate myself as clearly or elegantly as I would in English

All the MBA interviews are done in English. I don't know of any schools that interviews in some other language :) Also, from the interview debriefs, I guess it is very clear that INSEAD interviews in English.

Curious what people think - Does it make sense to schedule both the interviews on the same day? Both my interviewers are in the same city and it is 2.5 hours away. On one hand, I am thinking it would be good to get them both done on the same day, but on the other hand, I am worried about mental fatigue.

Hi WaitlistMuch,

I understand making two trips would be inconvenient, but I recommend having both interviews in different days. Not only because of mental fatigue, but also because it is always good to have some time to analyse how the first interview went, so that, if needed, you can prepare better for the second one.

I hope this helps.

I agree with the above reply from Alex for the same reasons. I prefer having interviews on different days just because it gives some time to analyze the first interview. I agree the trip of 2.5 hrs might be somewhat inconvenient but I guess that's the tradeoff here. If I were you, I will choose to have interviews on successive days. Good luck.

That is a great point - I did not think of that! Thanks!

No I didn't. INSEAD was the only school I applied in favor of period and timing that program end. I probably apply for others, September 2020 intake :)

Interview went well and was fairly relaxed. Seems more like a conversation than an interview. Will post a debrief later.
