I received a rejection from VF as well, even though interviews went well. Had the same issue. 720 GMAT, 5years WE but 2.3 GPA. I think they dont check your gpa before they invite your for an interview?

They check the GPAs. Could be a couple of things. INSEAD puts a huge emphasis on the essays, so maybe your essays were the issue. Also, if you're an Indian male, 720 gmat is low.

I'm not sure what the standard is for Pakistani males. 720 is a good score imo. I have a strong feeling that it's the essays.

They do, but the Admission Committee re-evaluates all info once interviews are completed.

An Aao or a few AO's decide whether to invite you to interview. Once the interviews are over, your profile is presented to the Admissions Committee, which comprises of facilty and alumni.

Dang, these recent dings from VF have me worried. INSEAD is my dream school. Profile:

American
GMAT 770
GPA 2.5/4 (engineering)
6 YoE Biotech R&D and Consulting
A couple significant international projects

Took some supplementary coursework at Cal last year which might help assuage GPA concerns.

Interviews went well

Going to have to do some serious exercise over the next couple days to keep anxiety in check lol. Still hoping for some good news.
