AN225,

how did your conversation with the alum go??
Also, give me some tips for interviews? They set me up with two guys, one similar, the other different.

--
pure IMHO of course:)
I read various sources, and everyone mentions that the way INSEAD set interviews is one will be rather pleasant and the second is tough. I thought my experience will be different, but I was mistaken

what I used for interview prep is Rhyme's webinar; this source https://www.clearadmit.com/wiki/index.ph ... dInterview and my goal essay. I think I spoke to myself : ) for 2-3 days before each interview - it's important not to overprepare (you'll sound like a bad robot

I had the same experience. First interview was very pleasant and easy, the second tough. I also used Rhymes guide and managed to get accepted.

Thank you!
90% sure I am matriculating. Have paid the first installment so that is a big step towards the program. I am on the Wharton wait list which complicates things a bit, but I am pretty sure that I will do INSEAD regardless of the Wharton decision.

For those R2 applicants who might be interested, I have done both of my interviews past two days:

First one was relatively informal, abt 1 hr long, we met in Starbucks. The interviewer was a very nice lady, graduated over 20 years ago and currently in insurance business. She asked me up front the standard questions of why doing an MBA now, why INSEAD, what I would like to do after INSEAD, what I would do if I don't get admitted. That was really the "interview" part, abt 15 mins max. Then we spent the rest 45 mins more or less chatting abt her career path and take-away.

Second one was more formal, went on for 1.5 hrs. The interviewer was also in investment banking, graudated 7 years ago. We met in a meeting room at his bank. We started by me walking through the key events in my life, how I went abroad and how I came back to Asia. I also got the standard why MBA, what I would like to do post MBA, whether I have a Plan B etc. But he also focused quite a bit on what my leadership experience and style is, what I think I can contribute to the class given that I have relatively short work experience, what makes me unique/interesting. He was quite sharp and often followed up my answer with a "what if", "then why not". Towards the end, he also shared quite a bit of his background, his INSEAD experiences etc.

Different interviews but enjoyed both. Hope this helps. Good luck everyone! :-D

Now I need to wait for over a month! :roll:

Thank you very much.

Thank you Brazas !

Does it mean that these 198 people have paid the fees last Friday, then accepting to come to Insead (= people choosing another school are not on the list anymore?)

I ask this because on the 18th there were 204 people on mbaconnect and now there are 198, then only 6 people got out of the list on the 20th ?
