Hi @Moose89, so glad you're still a contender for that scholarship. Did the AO give any indication that he/she would expedite? I've not heard of that before. Many have heard at this point so I'm wondering if it's what you suspect or the luck of the draw. Anyways, congrats!! I use the Clear Admit INSEAD interview guide as the basis for helping my clients get prepared. It's $20 and given that there are two interviews it's quite worth it.

MBAPrepCoach I'm not sure. I explained my situation to my AO and she advised that she would do whatever she could to help expedite, 3 days later I received an e-mail saying I've been invited to interview. So could be her effort or luck of the draw, but either way, I'm thankful.

Thanks for the tips - will get the guide at $20. Given our local currency's 12% depreciation against all major currencies over the past 3 weeks - every purchase is becoming more expensive, not to mention the cost of attending! 12% is a real knock to savings and fund-raising... :'(

Hey everyone! Congrats to those who have already received an interview invite! This is a great accomplishment. As someone who went through the process about 6 months ago, I would say, don't waste your money on any guide. The INSEAD interview is all about 3 things:

1. Making sure you are in person who you seem to be on your paper application
2. Confirming your FIT with the INSEAD culture
3. Getting information on any areas where the admissions committee may have doubts

You'll be paired with alumni who are either similar to you in personal background (both of mine were American) or who are in the role you specified as your post-MBA goal.

I've heard frequent reports of the interviews being simply a chat over coffee but just in case, the following is how I would prepare:

1. Read your application to ensure you remember what you wrote and stay consistent with this information when you are in the interview
2. Think of any weak areas in your application and come prepared with a rationale for why that should not block you from admittance
3. Come up with 2-3 examples that demonstrate your fit on each of the four application elements of INSEAD ( Ability to contribute, academic capacity, international motivation and leadership potential)
4. Do at minimum a LinkedIn search on your interviewer
5. Relax, the interview is meant to be more conversational than not

All the best of luck to everyone!

lpetroski delivering the gold nuggets of wisdom! Thanks as always.

Also agree that investing on a guide is probably not worth it for INSEAD interviews. This may not be the case for other schools.

Fun story: one of the students in the panel during my visit at Fonty talked about one of his interviews. His interviewer was actually lifting weight during the interview, which took place in a gym! lol

From all the reviews that I read, there is often a more casual interview with a recent grad to assess fit, and a more professional interview with an older grad to assess how likely you are to get a job.

Many congratulations!..Good luck with the interviews:)..and keep us updated on how they went!

Just curious, are there any more India applicants applying from Africa here on GmatClub..would love to hear if any of you have heard back regarding interviews yet?...

I am an Indian applicant from Singy... not heard anything yet.. get curious as R1 applicants started getting invited already..

The poor Indian applicants have historically been some of the last to hear. Hang in there! Another 10 days

Was anyone from south america invited for interview already?

No email invite for me yet. Ind in Europe.
It would be good have a few comments on the results from applicants either way - invite to interview or rejected- so that others can assess if rejections are being sent at the same time.

Hi Hinjax, you can always check ClearAdmit's livewire: https://www.clearadmit.com/livewire/?sc ... nd=round-1

So far it looks like only Asia and 1 person in the Middle East has received invites

Hi lpetroski, thanks. Yes I looked at the livewire page earlier and it seemed that it was still lagging based on the activity on this forum. I hoped that a little message here would provide a gentle nudge to applicants with a response from INSEAD to post here too. The GMATClub decision tracker seems to be somewhat inactive.

I've just received my interview notification. Brazilian applying for the R1.

Woohoo! Congrats!

Any Indians from India on this forum?..Have Indians from any other part of the world received an invite yet?!

Indian in Africa..have not heard anything yet! Going skydiving this weekend to calm my nerves...

Congrats to all you Round 1 invites ☆☆☆☆☆
