Any information regarding funding/ financial assistance? I will not be able to bear the entire cost of the program.... :roll:

How much are the minimum living expenses at Singapore for 1 person (for a period of 10 months)? As per my estimates INSEAD is almost as expensive (if not more) as a full time 2 year MBA at M7 school in the US!

Ciao! Interesting math you have. INSEAD's tuition is EUR 56k, that is roughly USD 85k, mas o menos. That is 1.3 years in the US school. Living expenses... what do you compare? Sing vs Darden? Or Fonty vs NY??? It's like apple to cola comparison.

On a practical note, in Sing you don't need to lease a car, and students can share apartments together and I SUPPOSE food/services are cheaper than in France/USA.

Regarding loans, it's written on their page that is currently 7.5% EUR rate, max EUR 40.000 per head. Regarding scholarships - the lucky merit guys will find emails next week, other are encouraged to apply from Jan 18 to Feb 16th for various (but small) scholarships.

I received an email from INSEAD 1-2 weeks ago regarding applying for financial aids and stuff. Haven't had time to read through it in detail. But from what you wrote it seems like everyone is considered for the the merit scholarships without having to go through any additional application? And we'll hear next week?

there are like 30 INSEAD scholarships all with different qualifications. seems like most (if not all) require you to apply. check out INSEAD's MBA connect portal for a full list.

however, i believe the "main" scholarship which everybody is qualified for and is based on need and merit is the INSEAD Admiral Scholarship and does not require candidates to apply.

from MBA connect:

Quote:

For merit awards, the decision is based on the quality of admission applications. For need-based awards, please submit an application to Need-based scholarships and send in the required supporting documentation.
Notification on the decision based on merit: successful candidates will receive the notification on the award approximately one week after admission. If you do not receive an e-mail on the award within that time frame please consider that you have not been selected for the Admiral scholarship.

Congrats to those admitted,

I applied in R2 and just a few days ago, I got an e-mail from VM saying that my app went complete.
How long does it usually take for them to decide to give out an interview?

Is there anyone else whose coordinator is VM?

Also, can you see # of Canadians admitted in R1? Let me know please.

Thanks.

The interview decision deadline in R1 was November 4th, and I got the pre-selection email on October 18th and I was the first to report on this forum. So, you can expect a decision starting 15 days earlier than the official deadline.

So far there are 9 canadians among the admitted students, 7 starting in Fonty and 2 in Singapore.

Guys,
Some recent statistics from INSEAD disturbs me (below applies to virtually any top school except the Indian ones, which demonstrate close t0 100% employment).

The employment placement is not spectacular: 82%
https://rankings.ft.com/businessschoolra ... kings-2011
combine that with the fact that 15% of students receive corporate sponsorship (https://mba.insead.edu/financing/) and thus shall be excluded from the employment statistics, and you'll get the real number - 79%.
The effectivness of the career service (as judged by alumni) is very bad - 44th place in the top-100 list.

Then, recall that already modest 2012 GDP forecasts for ALL major economies were further revised down by IMF, WB, and major banks. Meaning, there will be even less jobs and it is very likely that each forth non-corporate student won't find a job after graduation.

Now, any ideas on the plan B?

I guess we all know that we are planning to make a heavy investment in an uncertain economic environment. Those admitted wil probably be in the job market 12-15 months from now. Nobody knows - including the likes of IMF & WB - wether the world economy will get better or worse during that time. Even in an emerging market and a high-growth country like India, front-page headlines in national dailies are screaming 'Slowdown' everyday.

I think each one of us will have to take a call based on our individual circumstances. I thought of all this well before applying. For me at least this is the only feasible time to be going in for an MBA so I decided to go ahead nevertheless.

The only plan B that I have is to work extra hard if I find a place in the schools of my choice. Having come thus far, I think that is a feasible plan B for you as well!

To the admits (especially career switchers): Are you planning on finding/completing a pre-MBA internship before September through the alumni network? Do you get access to the network only after you've paid the first installment of fees?

Americans: 32

Indian: 25

Singapore: 3

Bear in mind that some candidates have double nationality, so they might be counted twice.

Hi everyone,

Just received an email saying that INSEAD has granted me an admissions scholarship =). Very excited! It seems that they will be sending out more letters today to recently admitted students for R1.

Good luck everyone!
