Hi..do we have any statistics as to which intake is more competitive? Jan or Sept? Not sure if there is a significant difference in terms of number of application in these two intakes?

There is a slight difference in the number of applications. It's in one of the INSEAD videos on youtube (can't link).

I have 4 years of consulting experience at ZS Associates and I'm currently leading the business development at a socially inclined education startup in India. I have expanded the business into two new cities.
I have a gmat of 710, anyone know what my chances are. I'm an engineer and have been an active Toastmasters member for 2 years now.

Please let's not ask these kind of questions here. No one knows. Be confident and submit the best application you can. Good luck :)

Fortuna_Caroline: There is no difference in the level of competition Jan v Sept. In fact the school gets slightly more apps for Sept start but slightly lower yield (percentage accepting the offer) so the offer rate is the same.

Why does that imply the end of your journey, it's just mass marketing :)
