IMD 2013 - Calling All Applicants

I'm attending interview session in Singapore on 24 May. Is there anyone else attending the interview in Singapore? We can plan to meet.

Guys, when do you think will be the last day when a R2 applicant can still receive a call for the interview? Next Friday?

has anyone( wait listed in R1) heard from IMD?

Hi Ron,

I was also invited to Hong Kong for the assessment. See you then!

Hi Makstory7
It seems I cannot reply your PM due to some issue with gmatclub
Let's meet as you suggested.

Finally, I will be attending the session in Lausanne onb 22-May.
My schedule did not allow me to pick the ones in Hong Kong or Singapore.
Anyone else going for the interview on 22-May?

Hi Ramon,

Your profile is a bit typical. However, your work experience and academics are decent & impressive. You need to highlight your research as much as your PhD in Biophysics and work experience in front of the adcom. You would need to cleverly prepare yourself for question like, your rationale behind applying for a specific Buisness school, about you’re prolonged research activity, why it took such a long time to complete the research so on and so forth.

Generally, B Schools are apprehensive about considering research as a Work Experience. However your case is a bit different here, as your research duration is for a very long time and a part of it may be considered it as a work experience only if is presented/communicated in a proper way to the Admission Committee.

Apart from work experience and academics, IMD also focuses on your extracurricular activities and your professional achievements which you would need to highlight in front of the adcom either in your essays or case study.

Hi. I am attending 24th May Singapore, too. I am planning to arrive on 23rd evening for cocktail bar event. Don't you have a plan to join there? In addition, did you make hotel reservation? Now I am looking for cheaper hotels, because the Singapore Mandarin Oriental Hotel is very expensive. T.T

I'll be attending the session on 23 May. There are plenty of "cheaper" options in Singapore
Do you mind sharing your profile?

Hi guys,

Does anyone have any update on the last day to receive call for interview if applied for April 1 deadline? Is it May 12th or any further?

And IMD sends official letter of rejection in case of not being shortlisted. Has anyone (unfortunately) received such letter? In my view rejection is better than waiting..


Regards.
TJS.
