From Canada, haven't heard back yet, Valerie M is my admission contact. I submitted my application on Dec 5th for R2.

Here's my profile:

M/28/Canada
Engineering
6+ years in Technology sales and consulting (project management, practice and biz development)
720 GMAT
Post MBA - strategy consulting, emerging markets

This is a long shot, I don't expect a positive response, but I'm happy to be proven wrong :-)

Anybody from Canada hear back from Valerie yet?

Catakiosk,

Same here from Canada.
Do you have any international experience? (like you worked outside Canada if you were born in Canada etc..?)

Yes, born in India, did my undergrad in Canada, worked for an MNC for 3 years (travelled to US, Europe) and currently managing projects with international teams. Plus, my volunteer work brings me in touch with tons of immigrants. So yes, I think I have a solid international background. But as is the case with applicants with an IT and IT consulting background, we tend to be at a bit of a disadvantage for MBA programs. At least, that's what I've observed and have been told on a few occasions.

How about you?

Anyone know if the rejection emails (pre-interview) they send out have any details in them - i.e. why the application wasn't successful? I'm almost positive my application hasn't made the cut, but a friend of mine who has a thoroughly kickass academic and professional background hasn't heard back either...so maybe there is hope, yeah?? :-)

Oh man, I've barely worked today in anticipation of this email. Looks like I'll have to wait another day at least! One way or another I just want to know so that I can calibrate my other applications if INSEAD is a bust.

I majored in EE. GPA is my Achilles heel. It's complete crap thanks to an illness in my last two years of school. I've compensated for it through work experience and have probably submitted the best application I could at this point in my career. Rest is up to lady luck.

I can't volunteer my friend's details without his consent, but with his academic and professional background and international upbringing, he's a complete shoe-in for INSEAD. I'd be VERY surprised if they didn't even invite him for an interview.

Hi,

I am new to this forum. I have applied to INSEAD (round 2) and am currently awaiting an interview call.

Has anybody from Singapore heard back as yet?

Hi all,

I've been reading this forum for a while but this is my first post! Applied for Insead R2 and nervously awaiting a response this week. Seems like a quiet day today - anyone heard anything? Anyone know why some invites are sent earlier or later? Thanks!

The invitations were mostly sent out in the last 2 days before the deadline. (In Round-1)
Should we expect a similar trend for the R2?

I don't think they stop working at 5PM at INSEAD.
maybe they use the alphabetical order, or maybe they've started with the most complex cases ;-)

Hah! Based on what I read on the prior pages, you were accepted during R1, correct?
