Hi thepriest01,

When you have a dream college, you should apply to it irrespective of expectations.

That said, INSEAD prefers someone coming in with strong entrepreneurial or international experience. So, when one has either of these, it helps.

Our suggestion would be that you focus on consolidating your strengths and putting your strongest application forward.

All the best!

@WA@wbt2764 - your undergrad grades, GMAT score and big-4 consulting experiences and promotions are strong angles.

I'd like to understand your professional arc better e.g. key projects/ achievements at work, nature of your international exposure, leadership experiences, etc. Given the depth of INSEAD's essays, it'd also be important to brainstorm and understand your traits and experiences (e.g. strengths/ weaknesses, stressful situation etc.) in order to craft a strong application.

Reg. R2 vs R3, broadly speaking - the earlier the better, as long as your application is strong by the deadline. In other words, applying in R3 with a stronger profile/ application is better than in R2 with a rushed-up application. You could also consider applying in R1 for the Jan intake.

Feel free to reach out here for a detailed discussion.

Regards,
Arvind

Does INSEAD require official score reports to be sent to them before the admission decision?

Or can I send them post admission?

They only require you to send the official score after you are admitted and decide to enroll.
