I applied for the January 2021 Intake, Round 3. I received an email from my AO that I was accepted for the January 2022 Intake instead of January 2021, and it was recommended I work an additional year to gain more experience. Has anyone else received a similar email? I'm glad I was accepted but this changes my timeline. Is there any possibility of attending in January of 2021? Thanks in advance.
It quite surprising that INSEAD offers intake different from the ones that you apply. I think it’s mainly because 21D is overcrowded now, with the deferrals from previous batches, not to mention there’s gonna be R4.

It really depends on your personal preference, but joining 22D may not be a bad thing. As of today Singapore immigration is still not issuing new student visa to INSEAD students, so it’ll be a mixture of online and offline class. French COVID cases are surging, so there’s a chance that classes go online. Campus exchange to US MBAs are being done online, which kinda loss it’s value. Other factors may also include economic downturn and recession upon graduation. These are the reasons many students are deferring from 21D to later batches.
Those are something you can consider, But after all it’s still your personal decision. Hope it helps.

Very rare to see such a decision, highly probable 21D is overcrowded .. but one year later also makes sense and is a good option to stay connected with 21D fellows and have more suggestions on courses/internship/networking etc. Finally congrats!!

tujnguyen and meme2019 I also got off the waitlist last week.

Did you receive an automated notification about the scholarship decision or did you mail them to check?

I reached out to the team but still waiting for a reply.

From my experience you may experience even some last minute deferrals later in the year... surely the school over-sizes slightly the batch expecting the same but I guess they may call more people from the WL even last minute.

About how long after your second interview did it take for them to deliver your acceptance?




This user wants to stay Private
Hi

I am a female and my first interview was with a male alumni. The interview was friendly and relaxed but professional, he had read my whole application and had a list of around 15 questions. The interview lasted for 70 minutes. He asked:

-about all of my transitions in my resume
-why business from engineering?
-why insead? which campus?
-what is your day to day job?
-how do you differentiate your service from your competitor at your current company?
-how do you segment your customers?
-asked about my post mba goal
-what schools did you apply to and why?
-in a team setting what is your tendency? e.g. a leader, follower, etc
-if you dont get admitted what would you do this year?
-why do you want to leave your company given your current position? Why your manager would let you go?

At the end I asked him a few questions and when I was done he mentioned that he would recommend me to the Adcom but that would be only his feedback and doesn't guarantee my admission.

My second interview was with a female alumni, extremely casual, fun, and friendly. She only asked me one question and that was: tell me about yourself. While I was talking about my post mba goal and my extracurricular activities, we connected in one subject and the rest of the interview was about that subject. She wasn't even taking notes and it felt like a friendly chat. I truly enjoyed that conversation, I had a chance to ask all of my questions about insead, the culture and everything. This one took about 45 minutes.

The second interview was very eye opening bc I met a person who had the same goals and aspirations and mine and had achieved all of her goals after MBA.

Now I just have to wait and see what the outcome is. Fingers crossed and good luck to everyone else.

Hi everybody!
I have the same situation: I applied for the January 2021 Intake, Round 3 and received an offer to join January 2022 Intake. If there is already such a chat or a group for applicants, please add me.
My work experience: 3 years of full-time and 1 year of part-time experience in a local investment boutique

Hey João,

Were you initially waitlisted from R4 before getting accepted? Or were you accepted directly from R4?

FYI I'm asking because I've been waitlisted after applying on R4.

Thanks!
