According to my personal experience and to what I read in this year & last year post, the interview decision can happen any time between 2 & 6 weeks. However, the general rule is 4-5 weeks.
Hope it helps!!! Waiting is nervous, isn't it? :wink:

I was lucky enough to be accepted at both IMD and INSEAD. I chose IMD because I think it is a better fit for me.

My profile: 34 years old/ GMAT 640/ Canadian/ Entrepreneur with science background / fluent in 3 languages/ 12 years of international work experience.

Let me know if you have any questions.
