Hey all, just to update I just received an email from my AO (Anne) for interview invite (I'm R2 applicant, submission on 18th April with Kira completed on 20th April).
BG: male, Chinese, 32, bachelor in engineering (China), Master in Management (France), excluding internship in total 6y+ full time experience - mostly corporate banking in an international bank across different roles all in France (large cap relationship manager, business manager, lending portfolio manager, credit approval manager), 1y in a financial data company as sales & account manager covering IB segment (private equity, investment banks, consulting firms, corp dev team of large corp) - during 2020 then back to the bank. GMAT 700 (first try in Mar2023, but I took GMAT back in 2013 as well - 660 (no big difference but Quant section at the time didn't have DS)), low GPA 73/100 (bachelor in China) and c. 13/20 (master in France). Recommendation including from one INSEAD GEMBA 2022 grad (a previous supervisor) now MD at the bank. I speak English, French and Chinese (native). Voilà, bonne chance à mes camarades R2 ! Now heading to the long weekend (note 8th May - Victory of WWII in France so if you don't receive anything today might need to wait till next Tuesday)

Another day goes by without hearing back from EL. Hopefully Tuesday. Looks like EL has been very busy.

Also, looks like some people only got an admit mail. No call. So calls don’t seem to be mandatory for all admits.

Can tell on Friday (especially ahead of a long weekend & weather like this - it's all sunny outside) if nothing is urgent I mostly stop working around 3pm .. most people don't even schedule meetings for Friday afternoon or send any emails because everything can wait till next week .. I'm not surprised some of my colleagues are already sitting in a bar/café or just on the bank of Seine with a glass of rosé and check work emails only once an hour .. (plus it's Friday no one is in the office, everyone is working from home) I think AOs take turns for May holidays so maybe your AO is out this week and will be back next week and someone else's AO is in this week and will be out next week. Let's not forget as I said May in France is magic as every week you work only 4 days .. June is half tough half relax and everyone will try to finalize stuffs on the hands before summer break (after French national day 14th July you'll see more than half of people are off for 3 - 4 weeks till the end of August - I remember I entered the bank as an intern in August, no one was there in the office, only interns and some associates to cover for Ds & MDs - most complex job at that time was to tell people from US/APAC office that someone is on holiday and will be back in a month ...)
