Hi SgtPepper .. Did you decide where are you going?

Can anyone please let me know of the cut off time? I am not able to find this info online - it just reads as May 1 for R2.

Hi weightedaverage .. You will find all the details if you go to the first page of this post. R1 is gone in February. The upcoming round is R2, whose deadline is 1 May (the time is 23:59 CET).

Hi guys Can someone advise what the exercises at interview entail? How will they do this with lockdown? Posted from my mobile device

Hello mrcentauri .. IMD said that they will replicate all the activities from in-person to online. I think, they already did for some candidates of R1. Only the class and lunch with MBAs will not be there.
