Since scholarships applications are now open, does anybody has understanding what are the chances of getting merit based scholarships if you are an employer's sponsored candidate? I understand that it's no way to get need based scholarship in this case, but what about merit based one?

Does anyone have a strategy for choosing which scholarships to apply for? Do you know if they post profiles of the students awarded somewhere?

And going along with MOSCOWGMAT's question, how does sponsorship play into all this?

I had my first interview around two weeks ago.
COO of KONE France. Finished his MBA 11 years ago.
Although we met in his cabinet, it was super casual. I dressed up like for a Queen's reception and felt myself like a fool as he was wearing jeans. I would barely call this an interview. It was like I'd been admitted already and we were talking as if it was at somebody's party.
So, in a nutshell:
1h total
- 15 min: he introduced himself (few questions from my side, few jokes etc)
- 15 min: "tell me about yourself, why mba, why insead?" (it felt like he HAD to ask them, not like he WANTED to)
- 30 min: "I'm at your disposal now, ask me whatever you want about the program, school life etc."

I had prepared some outstanding emotional answers to some possible questions, so was a bit upset that he didn't ask them :) I tried to squeeze few into the conversation, but not sure it's worth it at the end.

The next one is this Friday. With a younger guy. I expect it to be more academic.

It's so annoying that some scholarship questions duplicate our application essays!!! It seems to be a kind of a rule here: admission is need-blind, scholarships are application-blind. I don't get it... really...

I was under the impression that applications for scholarships are due together with the application. So I submitted my essays as "additional essays".

Applied in R2 by the way.

I'm afraid you'll have to do it once again for each scholarship you choose. They should be opened right after the interview invitation deadline.

Anybody will be at the in-house event this afternoon in Fonty ? One month of waiting without doing nothing...too long !!

Regarding the interviews : both of mine were very casual (one in a restaurant, the other one in a café), very informal (we even talked about tv shows !!). Know your application and your professional project, be consistent, I believe it is more about your character and if you are gonna "fit" at INSEAD. :)
