hey guys - received an interview invite, but I'm a little confused by the AO's note regarding removing our motivation essays?
"If you don’t wish to share your Motivation Essays, you may remove just those pages."
Is there any reason that we wouldn't want to share our essays? Is it advisable to not share them? Just wondering how it affects the process and what the best thing to do is.

I’m not 100% sure what the reason is why they ask us to remove the essays if we wish, but I think it may have to do with the fact that the essays can get quite personal.
I didn’t remove mine. And personally, would suggest you not to either. I had my first interview already and my interviewer had definitely read my entire application. And that really allowed us to have a candid conversation.
Just my 2 cents.
Good luck!

Hi inseadhopeful123,
as WaitlistMuch has mentioned, the Motivation Essays are more personal, and therefore INSEAD doesn't want interviewers to have any biases before meeting the candidate.
INSEAD even asks interviewers to not read those essays. So even if you share them, they may opt to skip them.
Whether to share them or not is completely up to you. But if you do share them and the interviewer has gone through them in detail, you might expect an interview with more specific questions, and even some "I already read that in your application. Please, tell me about another story" kind of reactions.
I hope this helps.
Good luck!
