It was absolutely the consulting factor. However while Cambridge is still a distant third for me, more and more I find myself liking the idea of a more flexible program at LBS, in case it turns out that consulting isn't for me.

With less than 2 weeks to go before I have to make up my mind, I'm more confused than ever !

Just to let you know that we also have a “Admitted - which business school to choose” forum. See if you can find a similar comparison or else create a new topic and ask user “billionaire” who has a very good idea of European schools.

Awesome subirroy it was fun to get a real person narration of the process and see you on camera. I'm sure everyone will benefit from your valuable input.
Hope lots of people on this thread show up to your live chat today, Sunday 12/9 at 7:30 PM IST at
https://gmatclub.com/forum/mchat.php?fl=menu

Can I ask how you decided that INSEAD was your #1 pick over Cambridge and LBS? Was it the consulting factor?

Hi Everyone, Here's a video from subirroy on his INSEAD/LBS/Cambridge application experience. Look forward to seeing you in the chat with him on Sunday in GMATClub chat room.

Yes there is definitely still hope! Was speaking to a current student and he recalled that he only got the invite one or two days before the deadline. So please do stay optimistic!

Just a quick question to all round 1 applicants who have gone through the interview already:

Did you share your motivation essays with your interviewers or did you remove those pages from your PDF application form before sending? The AO mentioned that these essays can be removed if we do not want to share the Motivation Essays (which is different from previous batches who were directly told not to send them in).

Round 2 applicant scheduling interviews now - I kept my essays in since I wanted my interviewers to have a better sense of my profile. I figured there’s no harm if they read my essays.

Hi Hideto,

I'm in round 2 and sent everything to the interviewers. I believe it is better if they get a sense of who I am beforehand, on top of my professional background.

My first interview is tomorrow! ;)

Hi all, I've also received my invite yesterday and have finalized my interview schedules with the 2 alums. Similar to greenfield, I also included my motivational essays for them to get to know me better prior to the interview.

Good luck to everyone!
