Hey! I applied to R3 too, pretty much on the last day June 18, (Jun 17 my time). I’m waiting on my interviews as well. I had a few calls from INSEAD marked as "Unknown Number" on my iPhone, on similar topics about asking about interest. This is just their admissions folks reaching out to people who had registered for an event or started an application. They of course wants to boost applicants for metrics as well as candidate choice, so its pretty normal I’ve had it from Wharton and Berkeley too.
I’ve heard from an Alum that the AO (mines VF) will reach you via email and send you contacts for Alums, and then set instructions there for the first approach.
Also applied R3 (June 14th). AO is also VF. btw, how was your Kira interview? I felt like I bombed mine. Had good stories/narrative to tell, but not enough time.
I like to think I did ok, but I had to practice a lot for it, there weren't enough practice questions on their platform. So by the 4th practice round, I started seeing duplicate questions and at that point, you know the results would be skewed if you kept going. It was more to get your head in the right mindset.
I wouldn't stress too much about it, I've heard it's not a grading metric, they just want to see you're a real person and that your story and character align with your application. As long as you spoke decent English, got some points across under the time pressure, and things lined up with your application, then you should be fine
