I think we may get the results a bit closer to the deadline this cycle given the number of people who’ll be asking for deferrals from the Jan class. Lots of logistics to manage on their end.

Congrats! Well...see you there,I guess! Recently received the news, got admitted. Going for Fonti, Russian with 8 years of work exp (incl. 2 internationally in EU), 29yo,gmat710/ex-consulting, now in healthcare (commercial and sales development).

Also, anyone would be kind enough to point me in the direction of any specific Insead living expenses discussions or advise on the budget to allocate for a +/- year in Fonti (potentially including 1 campus exchange)? Appreciate your feedback everyone!

Best,
Tim

Thanks a lot! Was an email for me (as explained by covid and working from home). Totally fine with that, don't care about the form as long as the substance is there;)

Hi congrats

You can find the estimated living expenses by INSEAD here (https://www.insead.edu/master-programmes/mba/financing), under "living expenses". Their estimated living expenses for Fonty is between 24k (without car lease) and 28k (with car lease) euros.

For what it's worth... I'm holding on to the hope that they call people based on geography, and that explains the lag some of us are facing...

I wouldn't stress too much at this point, there's still a week to go. When you checked previous chats for the January intake for example, you can see that people received their acceptance calls/emails from 1 to 10 days before the deadline. Similarly I wouldn't think too much about why some people receive it earlier than others as there was no obvious trend/pattern in regards to geography/AO to explain it. I guess there are just so many variables that the only thing we can do is not overthink it, and wait.

Next week will be horrible, but what do you want? C'est la vie
