Hi,
Requesting a quick profile evaluation.
GMAT - 655 , 93%ile
BTech, ECE, VIT vellore- 8.0 CGPA
Exp - 1.5 years as Data analyst and 5years Product Manager in a startup, that scaled up tremendously.

Incase Any other information needed, please let me know.

Thanking you in advance.
Your undergrad grades and work-ex look good, but the GMAT is a bit on the lower side for INSEAD. Any scope to improve the score?

On the work-ex front, I’d like to understand your roles better e.g. progressions/ promotions, any international exposure, etc.

Also, any extracurriculars you’ve been involved in?

Feel free to reach out for a deeper discussion.

Regards,
Arvind (Founder, admitStreet)

Hey guys 👋

Curious to know when you wrote essays for INSEAD vs other schools, what difference did you actually feel? 🤔 For me, INSEAD felt like breaking myself into pieces across multiple short prompts, while other schools wanted one or two big stories with depth 🎭.

Did you also feel INSEAD is more about breadth & structure while others push for depth & narrative? Would love to hear how you guys experienced it 🔥

oops. It happened to my applicant who got INSEAD admit 10 days before she had to fly to the US for UNC. She eventually gave up INSEAD. I think you are at a good place already. Unless the post MBA visa situation is looking very risky, enjoy the Austin MBA program

Hey Guys,
I was a R1 applicant for Jan intake and I got waitlisted.
I have started my MBA at McCombs school of business at USA.
Now today they confirmed that I got accepted at INSEAD.
I already paid fees in US.
Will it be worth even considering INSEAD anymore?

It entirely depends what you are taking a MBA to begin with. Are you planning to work in Globally? US? That should be the determinate besides VISA/funding

I was accepted in R3 a few weeks ago, was initially planning to go to Harvard for a non-business masters. Flew back to Boston a day after I received the acceptance. I've still yet to pay the tuition so I'm just gonna give up Harvard no strings attached :) and do INSEAD in January instead. If you're really interested, you should check your degree's tuition refund schedule - mine was full refund before add/drop period, so you may still have time to make a decision... other considerations, like your rental situation, is also something to think about.

I’ve been working on my INSEAD essays and found them harder than expected to structure. I tried SmartDraft smartdraft[dot]metis[dot]club and the draft actually reflected my voice Has anyone else used it for any other schools?

I know that, but that's limited. So, I wanted to practice from other platforms
