Just got admitted after being waitlisted since round 1.

Things is, when I was waitlisted, I thought that was pretty much reject so I accepted another job offer from a newly set up consulting team. Not as lucrative as the MBB consulting gig INSEAD MBA is known for, but not bad either. My new employer which went through hell to get my 2-year work permit was explcitly against me taking 1 year leave so I pretty much close off the MBA chapter. Not as if I will be admit right?

Also paid my student loan and unload my tuition fund to some big expenses/investments. What could go wrong right?

Yeah, now either I write an apology letter to INSEAD and pretty much give up my chance, or I burn bridge with my new employer and take up further loan.

I am dumb.

Explain the situation and ask if you can defer.

Sadly nothing yet. Sent an update email Oct 7 and a video Oct 21. Waiting for some folks to not pay the R4 deposit and leave me a spot 😭

I’m very anxious to find out if the class is full or not. Pray pray.

I was accepted of the wait list but decided to decline. There was too much other stuff going on in my life and I couldn't motivate the amount of debt. I would just have felt like I needed to do MBB to pay off my debt, even though I don't feel like I want to go into that kind of consulting... Maybe I was stupid and I don't know if it was the right choice.

Go for the executive MBA. That’ll be better suited and they’ll be very open to your background.

Yes January intake can be very competitive as most applicants who wish to switch industries apply for Jan intake because of the internship opportunity. On top of this several US oriented applicants want to keep INSEAD as backup post R2 R3 submissions.

Not recommended unless you have drastically improved on some aspect of your application.
