Hello All - R1 admittee here, very excited to join INSEAD. However, I am concerned about COVID-19 and want to guarantee a stronger chance of attending a "normal" in-person MBA program. Has anyone already tried to apply for deferral? Any tips or advice on how to successfully get a deferral?

I'd say someone is going to post here once he/she gets an update. So we'll know when to expect things.

I got the first email and later a follow up asking if I had already my GMAT grade, I explained that I was taking it yesterday and that it could take up to 7 business days, they said not to worry and provide them whenever I get them.

So I assume that they will continue working on the other parts of the application review. Think that they only had a week to organize everything, most of the applications would be still in the essay-reading stage.

Pablo

Hi,

Just had a thought - Do we have to reply anything to the initial acknowledgment email?

Hey, adiz1295 I do not think there is any need, I would suggest that best is to contact your AO only when needed (they should be quite busy so just FYI emails will mean extra useless work). Despite that, if you are missing something in your application, I think is better to ease their job by providing it before they have to request it from you.

That said I wanted to update you that I also received the email stating that my application is complete (despite not having provided yet the GMAT).
The interview notification deadline has been postponed a week to June 26th.

And another point even more IMPORTANT (I believe I already said that probably this was going to be the case), you SHOULD provide a GMAT/GRE before July 20th.

The tests are still a requirement, they claim the delay to the 26th due to the high volume of applications, so I guess this is going to be quite competitive and GMAT again is going to be a stronger differentiator.

Regards,
Pablo

Ahh, I didn't know that the interview and final decision dates are pushed.

Where have they mentioned that the extension is due to increased applicants? - I'd have assumed that its because of reduced capacity due to Work from home.

Thanks,

I would have the same thought with you too, as they have been mentioning partial activity measures and reduced working hours in the emails.

Hi,

Who is your AO?

They mention that they'd need a score before making a decision on the application. So 20th July is inferred based on that I guess.

Just received an email from my AO Estelle that my file is ready to be reviewed! It also says that the deadline for an interview decision has been moved to 26th of June and that I should submit my GRE/GMAT score no later than July 20.

Well, my AO email started the extension sentence stating that ...due to a high volume of applications,...

Regarding the GMAT my view is the same as before, and I believe it is quite reinforced by the email they sent (there is no link).

I cannot see any good reason for anyone to skip the GMAT(or GRE) really, even if your score is going to be lower because of the Online GMAT, bad luck, probably before July 20th you can retake at a test center.

If I was in the admissions committee I would be really wary of anyone without a GMAT or even providing it at last minute. Think of the other candidates who submitted their application in March with the GMAT, or think of your situation without the Covid without a GMAT on May 20th you wouldn't have been considered.

It is true that we have been disrupted by unforeseen circumstances but despite that, almost none has a solid excuse for not having taking it already. And those weak excuses would most likely weaken your application, they can reflect bad planning, attitude, low self-confidence, etc think that those are important points considered in our candidacies.

I would like to understand better why anyone still wants to delay it or try to get through without it, please share your opinions.

Pablo

I guess Estelle sent out the mail to all the applicants assigned to her. My AO is Estelle as well!
