  Hi @Nikhil97,  I wouldn’t say mandatory but at least some degree of international exposure is needed to get accepted to INSEAD. Most students in the INSEAD class have international experience studying, working, or simply living outside their home countries. Some others may not have these types of experiences but have had international exposure at work through biz trips, working with international teams, clients... Even travels for leisure could also count as international exposure. Someone with none of the above usually has a hard time getting accepted to INSEAD, more so, coming from an over-represented nationality. Just to put an example, an Indian with extensive international experience and 710 GMAT score would probably be given preference over an Indian with zero international exposure and a 780 GMAT score (everything else being equal, of course). I hope this helps. Warm regards Alex  
I am someone from healthcare background and getting international experience is next to impossible in the field. Do u think they’ll consider the background while looking for international exposure? I have handled patients from Middle East and Eastern Europe but that’s it.
­Hi Jyotimishra,

plenty of applicants with healthcare backgrounds have extensive international experience. I don't know much about your specific background, so I don't know whether this is your case. But even medical doctors working at local hospitals can have plenty of international exposure, for example, attending international conferences, trainings... And as I said in my previous post, even international trips for leisure could count.

So, I don't think INSEAD is going to consider a background in healthcare incompatible with international exposure or experience.

Warm regards
Alex­

Hello hello - a quick question! I just appeared for my gmat focus yesterday but did not realise that they have stopped sharing the unofficial scores.

How do you propose I tackle this in my application now considering the deadline is tomorrow and I might not receive the scores by then?

­Hi Lawana911,

schools are well aware of what you mentioned and that, usually, it takes 3-5 days for your score report to show up on your mba.com account. 

For now, you could simply upload any document in your application (e.g. a screenshot of your mba.com account saying that your report is still not available) and inform INSEAD about the situation in the Optional Essay. This will be enough for INSEAD to start processing your application while they wait for your official score report to come.

I hope this helps.

Warm regards
Alex ­

Hi, hope everyone is well. Male- 30, Indian. Engineer, MBA from IIM Ranchi. Strong motivation for 2nd MBA is to build my networking and more global exposure

7 years of experience, and currently in consulting. Very good international exposure, and 710 score in gmat (v38, q49).

Any suggestions if I should apply or not?

And are the chances more if we apply in Round 1 than in Round 2?

you can check under lor tab.. However please look at this "We encourage you to click on the link above as early as possible to allow them enough time to complete the form. Please note that your referees will be able to submit their recommendations online at any time, even before you submit your application. While your referees do have up to 48 hours after the Round deadline you are applying for, we strongly encourage you to submit your application a few days before the deadline, to ensure a smooth completion of your application material."

­Hi Nikhil97,

for pure application purposes, uploading a screenshot onto your application will do for now. This is all INSEAD needs to start processing your application. But in parallel, you also need to send your official score report through GMAC. Even if it gets to the school in a few days.

I hope this helps.

Warm regards
Alex
