Wow! that's cool, if so, I hope to get the short list decision before Christmas.

Regarding the video interview:
I was nervous the first 20 seconds of the first question then somehow things got 'normal' and relaxed.
The questions were about "my vision" , INSEAD MBA , diversity and entrepreneurship.


Hi, could you please share what is the entrepreneurship quetions about ? I'm really nervous about this video thing ..... :idea: :idea: :roll: :roll:

[quote="dkvs007"]..done with the video interview..they really have some innovative questions...just keep your basics right and improvise.....by the way any idea when will they start sending interview invites ??

In the admission website, it says from the 13th of Jan but I think it will starting coming 1-2 days before that.

They can even come earlier than that.
R1 deadline was on the 21st, the first invite came on the 7th.

Guys, feel free to write small debriefs of your video interviews so I can add them on the first page. It can always be useful to coming applicants.

Good luck! :-D

Submitted on Nov 30.
Yet to do video interviews.

GMAT-700

Indian based out of Chicago and a 30 year old woman.

5+ Healthcare sector with experience in Singapore, Denmark and Northern America.

Half wondered for a while if I am too old to go back to school.

All in and eager to see how it goes.

Well. no one is too old ever to learn ! Don't let that noise hinder ambitions.
Best of luck.

Done with the video interviews.

It wasn't that hard but I am not sure what they are looking for.

My prep was very formulaic. Answer what why when how for every question.

I also noted a few career high points that can apply across questions so I don't waste time thinking of examples.

the practice questions were very useful to correct expressions. I also practiced with a lot of Kellogg and yale questions.

In the actual video interview, I did 5 instead of 4. The video failed in the first one and I was asked to repeat.

I faced a problem during the video interview. The 3rd question's recording was that of the 2nd question but the text on the bottom was different. Because of this, I got a bit distracted.
Please advise me if I should contact the Adcom and intimate them regarding this.

..done with the video interview..they really have some innovative questions...just keep your basics right and improvise.....by the way any idea when will they start sending interview invites ??

Can you please tell what were the questions. Just want to have an idea what skillsets they are trying to evaluate please?
Also, considering 45 seconds to think and 1 minute to answer for each question and we have 4 questions...is it getting finished in less than 10 mins? Regarding format, is it same as in practice? I mean when I am done with my 1 question, do I have to click on spacebar to move to next question or do I not have any control once I start my first question?

May I request anyone else who has finished the interview to share those questions for the benefit of community?


Sorry for my late reply guys : I have been in the desert and offline for the past several days...

My practice questions :
- name a company you admire
- what does success mean to you

My real questions :
- why insead
- how would you establish the foundations of your company
- management style
- how did you build your international experience

Enjoy !

Amen to that.

My video interview went OK. I was wearing a suit (I didn't for one other school). INSEAD has my best impression.

Questions were based on leadership, international outlook, ethical dilemma and one that I can't remember.

The one thing that I tried to do in the videos is to highlight WHY INSEAD as that's something I couldn't touch upon a lot in the essays.

I will mention a goof up. In anxiety, I replaced the word 'global' with continental. I hope they don't think I was talking about food.

But I hope I gave them a reason to chuckle.

haha, I do think so as well ;))))) or maybe just people who take part in this forum tend to spend more time on their applications, don't know :D :D

did my interview as well. the questions were about vision, two qqs on diversity and one on a project that I liked most

honestly, the overall advise I can give - practice. First do the questions for Kellog and Yale, that are available on web. then do the qqs from this forum and the last thing - those at the website. There is a high probability that you will get one of the questions listed here.

Don't overdo it as well, should catch a moment when you are ready and not tired already.

I had a suit on, but only on top :)

Hey all

I got the following questions during my interview
1- practice
narrate one situation where non-verbal cues have helped resolving a conflict.

One situation where you felt extremely stressed and how you came out of it ?

2- actual
what is diversity according to you ?( i did well on this one )
Describe one situation where you faced ethical dilemma? how did you resolve ? what factors did you consider while resolving it ?( GOd knows how one is expected to answer all of that in one minute !!)( not sure how well did it go )
What according to you is required to start a successful business and than to run it ?( i spoke about successful entrepreneurship. )
One project which interested you the most and why ?( i already had an answer for this one)


All the best :-)
