Heyya, is there any specific guidance to application process or group where we can navigate it all?

I am really struggling to map this process alone

You can always ask any particular doubts you feel, exactly what this community is for.

If you feel overwhelmed with the process in general, please know you are not alone. It’s a big task and we all are having our moments with it. Best we can do is break it down into smaller pieces and execute.

Take it easy champ, you got it!

Hey, don’t be discouraged by that response. The MBA application process genuinely feels overwhelming in the beginning because there are so many moving parts: exams, essays, recommendations, school research, networking, visas, finances, timelines, etc. Almost everyone starts out feeling lost.

The good news is: you do NOT need to figure out the entire process at once.

Take it one step at a time:

Understand your profile and goals
Build a balanced school list
Prepare application materials gradually
Submit in phases

That’s how most successful applicants navigate it too.

You’re already doing the right thing by reaching out early instead of struggling silently. Once you create a structured plan, the process becomes much more manageable.

Happy to help if you have specific questions about school selection, timelines, essays, GMAT/GRE, scholarships, or career goals

Thank you so much guys for the prompt response, I already did my gre got a 323 score, applied insead got rejected
I did write essays , connect with students
Researched a tiny bit on the school website

The next step I am looking for R1 application
And honestly even though I feel I did my best in my old essays...there is always always a scope of way of presenting better things. Now I don't know whether to reframe my essays is a better strategy...or get reviewed by whom?

I'm sorry about the rejection. I'm happy to help. If you want another pair of eyes to look at your essays. I think there is always room for improvement in how you portray your story. Please feel free to send them my way. Is Insead the only school you applied to?
Yaa it was my first application, I didn't apply to others as I felt R3 would be a bad choice
So yes
