Decisions get rolled out in batches until the final decision notification date (i.e. not all at once) based on your AO and region.

You could ask for an early decision. Such requests get considered on a case-by-case basis.

Final admissions decisions are shared strictly on the official notification dates. Historically, INSEAD has been transparent and timely with its communications. A few fortunate applicants may receive their final decisions a day or two ahead of the official notification date.

In rare cases where external factors like competing offers or sponsorship deadlines exist, you can notify the admissions team. However, it’s important to manage expectations, as early decisions are rarely granted based on individual circumstances. Good luck everyone

Are we still writing old version of GMAT?
Only the GMAT Focus Edition is available now. But if you already hold a valid old GMAT score, you can still use it for applications, provided it falls within the 5-year validity window to the INSEAD MBA application deadline. Good luck

Hello, does INSEAD have any living expense scholarships for the candidates coming with company sponsorship?
Candidates who are fully sponsored by their employers, meaning both tuition and living expenses are covered, are generally not eligible for INSEAD scholarships. But for partially sponsored candidates or those fully self-funding their MBA, several scholarship opportunities remain accessible, provided you meet the eligibility criteria. For the latest details and scholarship deadlines, it’s always recommended to connect directly with the admissions team. Good luck!

by what time will the form close today ? can someone let me know in terms of IST ?
Replying now, as it might be helpful for others! The exact application form closure time for most MBA applications, including INSEAD, is typically aligned with the school’s local timezone, which might also vary based on the campus location. However, it is always recommended that you check the specific deadline and timings mentioned in your application portal or email communications to be sure. That said, it’s strongly advised not to wait until the last moment to submit your application. Many candidates face last-minute tech glitches/ system slowdowns when trying to submit close to the deadline. It’s always best to have everything ready and aim to submit at least a couple of days in advance. It's important as it allows time to resolve any unexpected hiccups without the stress of racing against the clock. Good luck

Not yet. Applications typically open 2 months before R1 deadline, so you can expect it to be live around mid July.

Hi, by when will the interview round invites/rejections start coming for round 3 candidates?
As they follow the rolling notification process within each round, some candidates may hear earlier, while others closer to the final decision date. Interview invites generally start rolling out approx. 2-3 weeks after the application deadline, with some variability depending on application volumes. Good luck everyone!
