Insead/Ambassadors

Question

Hello guys,

i was trying to collect some information regarding the Insead MBA program, however I find it extremely difficult to find a person to connect with. For instance US schools have a very convenient way to connect with current students and acquire information, and I have done so with a zoom call for all the US universities that I was interested in , but how about Insead, how can someone connect with a current student and ask some questions? (I tried linkedin but it is wayyyyy time consuming with a lot of ghosting etc. , and the deadlines are approaching) . Can anybody shed some light?

Try connecting with existing/past students through LinkedIn, it will help you to gain more information and connection.

If you have real questions: google, ask this forum, ask admissions, go to admissions events. If you just want a list of names to mention in the interview process to show your networking skill: try LinkedIn anyways but don’t despair. I Had the same experience with LinkedIn. In my interview process nobody asked me if I connected with previous students.

Thank you guys for your suggestions really appreciated,

avirathsharma , I actually tried even through friends who are working with them currently, 0 response, it might be that I had been unlucky, or that I'm not pushy (?) It just feels weird, I had amazing conversations with people from Ross, Tuck, Haas etc. with whom I still interract, but Insead is another story, maybe the mentality between US and Europe school is different , I was wondering whether they have the same attitude among them as alumni.

mbaandsuch , so my questions are 100% regarding career aspects, expectations, industry related , location wise etc. Nothing to do with name mentioning etc. as a matter of fact I have been googling, and looking into various industry specific forums so much that it made things worse, as I think i have reached a point of overthinking. So that is the reason I need someone who has been there recently or is there currently because would be tremendously helpful in order to clarify some aspects regarding Insead . Just to give you an example , I was trying to find out whether post mba consultancy in Singapore is feasible for only- english speaking applicants . The information that I found is so contradicting that you end up not having a precise answer, so my questions are really specific regarding employment etc. I have reached a point in which I am not sure on whether I should apply, as my understanding of the program prior doing a really deep research is different from what it is now, so that is why I'm searching for answers.

* I am avoiding a little bit asking adcom such questions , as they might present an over optimistic view, they are the school's official representatives so I don't know how sincere their insight would be.

Understood. For specific questions it might also be hard to find the right student to know the answers. This forum or Reddit /mba might yield the best result, since you reach several people at once. Hope this helps!
