Good to see that nobody from my country got in/applied in Round 1 so far lol. Apparently at home the US bias for MBAs is severe so INSEAD isn't really sought after. All the better for me.

Where is home?

Actually with Trump at the helm this year there has been a drop of Indian candidates applying to US schools. I'd imagine this would translate to a higher applicant pool to the Euro schools from countries such as India.

IR asked me for a copy of my scores a few days after submission because she was having problems retrieving it from GMAC. So they're looking at the scores now.

Fortunately, she said she managed to get the official scores a few days later.

Also, IR, no email yet.

It just means no news. I have friends and family who're INSEAD alumni. They received both interview and final decision emails on the last day. So I don't think it means much whether when we receive the email. Personally, my interview email, if I'm getting one, may be delayed by the fact that there are unlikely to be any alumni in my city.

So do they share the interview dates also within this email. Or do they just notify that you are shortlisted for the interview stage?

First they send you an email indicating you are shortlisted. A few hours after they send a second email for the name of the interviewers.

R1 applicants...Would you mind sharing your profiles. I will start with mine. Indian. 5+ work ex. GMAT 750. Has worked in 15 countries across 5 continents with the world's largest oil field services industry.
Also, I feel my video interview did not go well. I think, I fumbled a bit in 2 questions and was finding it difficult to focus on the camera and replying spontaneously. Do you think that can be a deal-breaker?

I have a 760. 6 years. Oil and gas. 29 years. Indian. Already a premier Indian MBA. My roles have been more in downstream and corporate. Sales marketing communication strategy that kind of stuff. Applied in round 2. Haven't heard back yet. 25 countries is so impressive. I have been in India throughout. God knows what shall happen. What did you mention as your post MBA career path. I gave some speil on leadership o&g positions and international. All the best.

And this here is why I am amazed at the intellectual appetite of my Indian friends. If you don't mind, what are you looking to get out of an INSEAD MBA, given you have a premier (I assume this means a 'first-class, competitive program') Indian MBA?

And here's my profile:

740. Nigerian. 4 years of work experience at P&G and 1 year of forced (legislated) volunteer experience. All 4 years in Purchasing, with 1 (relatively fast) promotion. Sub-Saharan Africa scope (8+ countries), but mostly based in Lagos with infrequent travel.

Fingers crossed mate. I think you have an impressive profile and hope things work out!

Sure! Both my (older) friends who graduated from INSEAD did not get their invites till the last day. As an aside they also didn't get their Admission Calls until the last day!

Keep hope alive.
