Yeah, but this year might take longer since they would have received the last of the video essays on 28th Sep

I can’t believe it’s been more than a month since I started at INSEAD! Time is flying, work is piling up, and social events are getting more and more fun/frequent (parties, BBQ’s, trips across South East Asia, cocktails, company presentations,... Continue Reading →

Yes I saw that too. The first invite on Gmatclub last year happened 16 days after the deadline. But the girl did send her application a couple of days prior to the deadline which was sep 16th.

According to head of admissions, they start looking at apps as soon as they are submitted, the earlier you do so, the earlier they check you out. According to her, they also started looking at this year's applications prior to the submission of the videos.
So anytime between october 7th and 14th would make sense. Wait and see and goodluck to all!!

My questions were mostly focused on entrepreneurship and how I would establish the foundations of my company. I won't put the exact questions here since I think part of the point is that INSEAD wants to see how you can think on your feet :)

I found it really fun! It's a great way to demonstrate your way of thinking, personality and presence to a committee that would otherwise only be able to judge your potential based on your written application. If a picture is worth a 1000 words, think what a video can do for you :)

If you approach it with this attitude, you'll do great. Relax and enjoy!

FROM Insead Admissions Blog: Is your Significant Other thinking of attending INSEAD?
MBA programs, or B-schools, have negative connotations when it comes to maintaining personal relationships. However this is rarely the case, and most of the time it is quite the opposite. The potentials of personal and professional rewards as a Partner... Continue Reading →

Hello Guys,

None on my side. Still too early I'd say. Probably next week.
Are you applying from France, with AN as AO?

Hi everyone,

Are there any young applicants in the September 2017 class? I have less than a year of WE and I'm wondering if I should wait or go for it? I did full time summer work in two countries during my university years though.

I would wait.

Same, one of INSEAD's 4 requirements is "ability to contribute" - when the average years of work experience is 5-6 years, how do you expect to contribute to classes at the same level or beyond your peers with less than 1 year?

If you're really eager to keep studying buisiness try the MIM program at LBS.

Congrats man! Also interested to know when you submitted (and when you completed your video interviews) as I believe INSEAD reviews on a rolling basis - eager to extrapolate when I should hear the good, or bad news :-D

Like the others said, you should definately wait. Even better, you get more time to research the schools, to get the perfect GMAT, and to build yourself a strong profile before applying.
