International experience is key at INSEAD. Congrats msk2222, and hard luck for the others

Nikhil, why are now all the messages that we write in the chat copied into the forum thread? This is really not cool data privacy wise...

msk2222, Very true. International experience means staying in a foreign country for a considerable time and work. NOTHING ELSE

How long does the AO take to send the interviewers contact information after sending the round 1 acceptance?

Received details few hours after the invitation mail

I received the notification yesterday but still havent received the contact information..

has anyone having trouble reaching out to their interviewers?

Your interviewers are likely busy, as they do have a career of their own. Please be patient and wait a few days before reaching back to your AO to ask for help

We are rolling out a new feature. We are working on fixing any issues that arise. This may be one of them that we need to fix.

I just received interview invitation just now. Oh my godddd. I gave up already.

I am from Southeast Asia.

Hey bud, don’t know your results and profile but could not stop myself commenting here. Just because one person having international exp across borders got selected, it does not mean that Insead is looking for your travels or work outside your home country. It’s much deeper than that.

Hi everybody,
I see many rejects today from INSEAD. And so, I thought to write to all of you here.

I can totally relate to how you all are feeling but let me reassure you that ’All is not lost’.
We all know what happened this year - the world was struck by a pandemic! We just did not have the right paraphernalia, and this holds true for applicants targeting Jan ’22 intake for INSEAD. There were massive deferrals that even the business schools weren’t prepared for.

In addition, we have noticed various reasons for which possibly applicants were rejected:

1. They rushed through such an intense MBA application in a short span of time.
2. They only focused on their professional laurels and missed bringing out their personality in their application.
3. They couldn’t identify the specific gaps in their profile that only and only an MBA from INSEAD can help them bridge.
4. Despite having clarity about their vision, they couldn’t tie it back to their current experience.
5. They did not know how to express themselves right within the word limit.

I believe if you work on the missing links, you can turn the stars in your favour. After all, ’When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.’
And we would love to be that part of the universe for you.
If you are keen on targeting US Schools in Round 1, you may want to attend this session. It will help you find your exact gaps and how you can work on them.

Because all is not lost! Make sure you all bring out the best version of yourself on paper!

Best,
