INSEAD Calling all Applicants(SEPT 2015 Intake)Class of 2016

I am based in India, and wondering if I will be able to sleep tonight.

The wait is excruciating.

I have a missed call from +33 Tuesday afternoon. They only call you if you're admitted, right? Or may they also call if they deny/waitlist you?

@Randyjohnson: lucky you! I believe you can start to celebrate

Thanks htetzz!

ok the wait will be excruciating

Also admitted. Got the call yday (not sure what time zone I'm in right now).

My AO is IR. Missed the +33 call but dialled back and she picked right up. Believe there are a lot more calls to come.

Good luck to everyone!

Where are you based bro?

British passport holder, based in Southern Europe, and right now in transit somewhere in the ME/Asia.

Given the recent news this is way overdue, but see below my first interview report for INSEAD.

I met with a senior politician alum who, understandably, had a busy schedule. The interview was quick - 30-35 minutes max. - and he hit me with a lot of questions in rapid succession.

There was nothing unexpected or any questions that I had not practiced from the many free resources out there. My favourites were Clear Admit and the threads at GMAT Club. You can also see more specific questions that were commonly asked in my second interview report here.

I was also able to get my interviewer to talk about himself for at least one-third of the interview; this is a good tactic for alum interviews given everyone likes talking about themselves, right!?

My responses felt calm and well-timed and injected with passion and references to INSEAD, resources, alums etc. After so much prep, they felt a bit rehearsed to my ears, but then I had so little time to say what I needed to it was so helpful to have practised giving precise and concise answers with my consultant, friends and other alums.

My interviewer ended the interview by springing up from his chair and saying thanks for coming (I think he saw the time somewhere). He wished me the best of luck and asked me to keep him informed how it went. We even managed to trade one last story on the walk to the door - every second counts!

On reflection, I wasn't absolutely sure how to read the interviewer's reactions. He seemed to question everything I said but I felt confident I had got my key messages across and ...most importantly ...was normal, likeable and energetic.

Has any1 got lucky today?

Hi Guys,

Does anyone knows when classes start for the September 2015 entry?

Is it more likely to be 24th or 31st of August?

Thanks
Matt

One of my interviews was very smooth, she was very nice. The other, the guy was confronting me alll the time. It was very unpleasant, at one time he asked me if I did get better grades at univerisity because I was dumb or lazy? I gave him a flaw , and he answered thats not a flaw, so find me a new one. And this was the tone for the whole interview, always completing my answers or contradicting them, so I guess a ding for me. at the most WL. Besides my AO is IR and I am based in Southern Europe so I think I would have got the call by now...

No news today... I am quite sad since Insead is my top choice...

Has anyone gotten a call from one of the other AOs?

Come on! You can still receive the call. I also had a good and a bad cop: my first interview was very conversational and the second one much more demanding . The school knows there will be differences between the interview reports and will be able to read through them.
And in any case, if you were interviewed, that is a sign that the school likes your profile. Again, you can still get into.

I assumed that Sep 2015 entry implies that classes start in September? Isn't that right?

Seems like there has been a bit of a lull. I'm based in Shanghai and was anxiously checking my phone all day...

Anyone based in Asia get a call yet?

Yesterday, the calls seem to have started post noon (Fontainbleau time). It just turned 12 PM over there, so perhaps the calls will start soon.
