Those who submitted their application R4 (March 10th deadline) - have any of y'all received an interview invite? Thanks.

Hi @WA@ced6160, You should deliberate on what you can do to improve your profile. Besides, your focus should be on communicating the same to the Ad Com. Additionally, focus on being in regular touch with the Ad Com while reiterating that you are doing your homework and have the highest intent to join the program. All the best! Experts' Global

Hi @WA@gxc3067, As you may already know, INSEAD is a consulting stronghold. You can get IB roles or general finance roles even after INSEAD but such roles are a much smaller component of overall jobs and not completely straightforward to crack. If you have some pre-MBA experience in the said field, it would be helpful. Of course, opinions and experiences on this front will be diverse but this is, very broadly, our view. All the best!
