Thanks for the list, lpetroski!

This seems like a low number, though. It should go up in the coming days as more people register, right?

Btw, impressive that there are more Americans than Indians!

Fyi, quite a few dual nationals amongst the batch so far, so account for a fair bit of double counting (at least toward the Americans & Canadians tally)

There is no double counting on the list as I inputted the first nationality listed for each person. And yes, there should be more as more people get registered to MBAconnect but that's the most up-to-date list

R2 final date for interview decision approaching and I'm getting nervous.

Out of curiosity, how does one get a rejection? Are emails sent or does one deduce from a lack of emails till midnight of June 2nd?

FROM Fortuna Admissions Blog: New! INSEAD to weight the IR section of GMAT

Following the debut of the GMAT’s integrated reasoning (IR) section in 2012, it wasn’t entirely clear how much emphasis top schools placed upon its importance. This 12-question, 30-minute section is scored on a 1 to 8 scale, separately from the total GMAT score, which tops out at 800. Its key elements include table analysis, graphics interpretation, multi-source reasoning and two-part analysis, presenting a multifaceted challenge that mercilessly withholds partial credit, even for answers to multi-part questions.

Back in 2015, INSEAD was among the programs that said it wasn’t weighting IR scores in its evaluation criteria. But over the last five years, INSEAD and other programs have accumulated a strong body of data on IR scores from candidates and students, and how it correlates with academic performance. Now, INSEAD is placing greater emphasis upon IR score.

“For the selection process, we intend to include the IR section of the GMAT in our evaluation as of the September 2018 intake. It seems to be a good additional element to predict academic performance on the programme, says INSEAD Admissions Director Virginie Fougea. “We also suspect that the IR section could be a good indicator of the capacity for problem solving, critical thinking, judgment and decision making, skills that we definitely try to identify during the application process. The current average of IR scores is above 6, so we now recommend that applicants target a score close to 6 or above.”

Virginie puts INSEAD’s perspective into the context of its programmatic evolution and the introduction of the Personal Leadership Development Programme, or PLDP. “The major change is not on the admissions side, but rather on the Programme Management side with the curriculum review and the introduction, as of this August, of a Personal Leadership Development Programme,” says Virginie. “The PLDP is designed to provide students with a new standard of excellence in personal and interpersonal awareness, skills, and communication effectiveness. It introduces a set of tools and experiences throughout the MBA programme that will give them opportunities to enhance their short-term and long-term career success. In a sense, this is slightly influencing our selection process as we are even more looking at skills like emotional intelligence, creativity and cognitive flexibility.”

Congratulations for the invite!

It seems it's Asia's turn: another candidate in Korea reported an invite on clearadmit.

I guess I'll run out of nails to bite by Friday

I came here to ask that exact same question, I worked end to end with someone from India for round 2 and no word yet.

If any Indians on this thread got round two interview offers please do not keep it a secret put us out of our misery :-)

Mine's LL too and still waiting, submitted on 30th April so hoping to hear tomorrow. I called her up last month after submission to make sure all was in order. She said that invites will be sent on first come first serve basis.. but I've seen some people who submitted on the deadline who've already received invites.
