A high GMAT score is important but just one part of the equation. INSEAD values a well rounded profile that highlights academic success, professional achievements, leadership, and personal qualities. INSEAD isn’t known for big scholarships, and the competition is tough. If you’re from a larger applicant pool, you’ll need an even stronger profile to get substantial financial aid.
Can you kindly look into the above message posted? It would clear out the air a lot

Hi All,

At MBA & Beyond, we are committed to maintain a positive and constructive environment in all our interactions. We do not engage in defamatory or baseless discussions. Our track record and credibility stand on their own, and we take pride in serving our clients with the utmost transparency and integrity.

It is simply not in our practice to collect substantial fees without delivering the promised services. We give 100% effort and dedication to every applicant we work with, ensuring that they receive the full value of our offerings.

We prefer to focus our energy on providing value to those who trust us with their MBA journey, rather than justifying ourselves to individuals who have created account 2 days ago solely to cast doubt on our reputation.

I suggest you review the INSEAD interview debriefs. I am using that as my source to prepare. :)

Hi everyone!

I had two very different interviews last year.

**First Interview:**
This one was with a 10D, an established entrepreneur. He started off with friendly greetings, which made me feel comfortable. He then asked straightforward questions about why I chose INSEAD and why I want to pursue an MBA, along with a few clarifications on my CV. After that, he opened the floor for questions and inquired about my preferred electives, my current job, my geographical background, and my post-INSEAD plans. He offered some advice on how to strategize my experience at INSEAD but hinted that I might be trying to take on too much, which made me feel uncertain about me getting in to INSEAD.

**Second Interview:**
The second interview was with a 20J and had a more casual vibe. We had to reschedule once due to her availability. The conversation started with basic questions but quickly became more organic, covering topics from events at INSEAD to packing tips. It was a fun and engaging experience!

If you need any advice, feel free to reach out - I’m just a DM away!

That is amazing, anything I should prepare for? I do have a decent understanding of the electives but should I like read & remember all the relevant electives?

Not necessary! My advice would be to just be authentic and reiterate why you decided to join INSEAD. Not everyone joins the school because of its electives and if that’s you, it’s best to be transparent about it.

Do research about your interviewers and try not to be too nervous - will help you keep the conversation very natural and organic.

Be clear with your goals and consider this more as a coffee chat than any formal interview. Also ask questions towards the end and refrain from asking stuff that you can easily obtain from a Google search.

No we do not get this along with the email. The scholarship decision will be communicated separately.

Also does the scholarship email/question come in as soon as you get your interview invite or is this later on?
