Hello all,

I am considering reapplying in r3- can someone please post the current number of Israelis on MBAConnect + male/female breakdown.

Thanks,

i have a question to all those still considering an application in Round 3, why not in round 1 for Jan 2013? i mean its just a matter of 4 months..

Hello Everyone,

I will be applying for the Jan start and I am wondering about the "Bonus and Other Compensation" section and whether or not it is a good idea to put in current market value of vested options (in a privately held company) I have earned in the past 12 months; the value is in the low 6 figures (I got lucky at a tech company) where as my salary is in the mid 5 figures? or is it more appropriate to disregard the option value as it is not tangible at this point in time?

Thanks,
C

Agreed! That would be useful.. Can someone help?

Sanjuro,
It's a good question.. I'm on that boat where my preferred option would be Jan-13. I still haven't made up my mind yet whether I will apply to Sept12 R3 or Jan2013 R1.

My thinking is the following: the other programs I'm applying to start in Sept2012, so in a sense the "competition" is happening now. To turn down other offers now would mean putting all my faith into getting in INSEAD for Jan2013.

On the flip side, I am assuming that I have better chances to get in AND to get scholarship applying to R1 Jan2013 than R3 Sept2012.

Thoughts? Does anyone know if it's possible to apply to R3 Sept2012 (you might get lucky and they need to "fill their diversity quotas") but somehow tell them that you are flexible for either intake?

could someone please do this for Australian students too please?

Believe me, I know all about round 3- applied in r3 of the January 2012 intake and got dinged after hanging on the waitlist till classes started. My R3 experience was nightmarish- about 490 seats were offered before R3 even started.

September R3 may be appealing for two reasons:

1) The January intake has a higher yield (a higher percentage of the admitted applicants actually choose to attend). The reason for this lays in the fact that very few top MBA programs start around January. This means that in January the competition for every place is mush stronger.
2) The January intake offers an internship program, which makes it even more appealing, and thus, more competitive.


In other words, the September intake may offer the ones who do not conform with all the characteristics of a dream applicant (I will turn 35 in few months) a higher chance.

Heya,

Has anyone who submitted their scholarship application able to login to the INSEAD scholarship portal?

Hi,

I tried today and managed to login - though no updates in the status, it still only says "Application Received".
