Okay I've changed my mind, I'm applying Round 2 for Sept 12 or Round 1 for Jan 13. My initial reasoning for the Sept intake was that I'd have awesome grades (i.e. the Dean's List) to show recruiters during the full-time recruiting season because an internship isn't a total guarantee (the grades don't come out in time for internship recruitment and why would a consulting firm want a baker with nothing sexier than cupcakes and Nobel Laureate on her CV).

Hi

I have recently changed my job and have been with the new firm for less than a month. I m having difficulty in finishing the First job description essay, since there are no 'results achieved' and 'leadership examples' yet. How should I tackle this problem?

Thanks!!

Does anyone know if you can upload your supporting docs before submitting the entire app?

Looks like there are quite a few questions concerning this issue.
I actually contacted admission and the answer I got was: submit all supporting docs whenever you can, but they won't tell you whether they have received the docs or not UNTIL you have submitted your application.

I uploaded the supporting docs after submitting the main form. It was a simple and straightforward process.

You can either submit the files as jpeg or pdf.

Anybody having troubles submitting the application?
I have the GRE fields empty because I took the GMAT (so I don't need GRE scores, right?) but every time I click the Submit button Adobe tells me to go to view my incomplete fields. T_T Any advice?

If you are using Adobe X, you can click on "Highlight existing fields" to add a red box around the required fields and easily check the missing ones.

Thanks for the response. Yes, indeed the only fields that are still empty are the GRE fields. What should I do?

Have you clicked the button: Check your progress on page 3 of the form?

There you can see how many fields are still to be filled.

GRE is not mandatory. I left my GRE fields empty too.

Progress check says 68 out of 75.
Click on submission says:
Go to missing field:
gre.count
gre.date.0.day
gre.date.0.month
gre.date.0.year
gre.quant.0
gre.verbal.0

so that's 6 missing fields? that means there's one more sometwhere??

Or is it 7 missing fields excluding the GRE fields??

so...anybody with a successful submission can tell me...did you have to fill out the GRE fields? And if not, when you checked the number of questions answered on page 3, did it say 75/75 for required fields?

Still waiting for an answer from INSEAD tech support.
I'm glad this didn't take place on the night of the 28th.

I did not fill out the GRE field. When you click submit, there will be an auto popup that you may click on that will lead you the required fields that you did not fill out.

I didn't fill it out either.

Btw, just got the confirmation that my files are ok and my coordinator is Anne Nigl.
