Rishi,
Thank you for your quick reply! It appears that there are 2 interviewers. Did the email mention with which interviewer should you schedule the interview first ?
Also, does finishing the interviews early provide an edge, given that school has only few days left to make a call on the applicant? Thanks

hi, no there's no specific order for the 2 interviews and they can be scheduled as per convenience...also, I'm not too sure whether scheduling the interviews early on will improve the chances. In fact I had asked the same question yesterday..-any comments will be welcome.

It seems they want the interviews done with 2 weeks before the decision date. I had my first interview for the September Round 3 on March 31st but could not get the second one scheduled before April 19th! (Decision date is April 30th for R3 btw)
If you have any doubts about your interview dates, just e-mail your admission coordinator, they are really helpful (mine is CT)
I guess going for your interviews early only means you will have to wait longer for the decision :wink:

You seem to have a lucky list. Looks like almost everybody has made it to the interview.

Lets hope this list has a lot of smiling faces once the results are announced as well.

why do I get more and more the feeling that ppl at insead are kind of premature and infantile...go with the flow kind of crowd who are too blessed with their ignorance...they seem more and more like the kind of ppl that give meaning to Larry Olsens speech before Yale graduates few years ago (or whatever his name was)

anyone else having second thoughts for insead??? I just saw my 2 interview-ers on facebook---honestly the guys who interviewed me at HEC were much much much more impressive than these 2 little insead suckilings...

I'm sure the list in itself was self-selecting. I'm assuming those who have a minor obsession with getting into b-school, and paying attention to this forum in particular, asked to be added to the list. The rest of the list was simply my compiling. I do wish everyone well and hope the best get in.

Are you so insecure that you would ask for the opinion of the future "premature and infantile" of INSEAD?

Ive got my interviewers . Both are in a very Senior Consulting role, one has been a partner with a leading consulting firm till late last year and is currently a Strategy Director to the Government. The other is a Sr Associate with another leading consulting firm , and has an excellent post MBA experience.

INSEAD has some really smart alumni here, and most are doing really well for themselves. This is quite reassuring. I have no qualms in having made the decision to apply to INSEAD.

dude...apparently I did not ask for the opinion of someone who is so blindfolded so as to apply to one school only...probably based on the useless rankings and general bla bla alone...so save your breath!

Wow, insecure and hypersensitive as well!

With all due respect my friend, I don't think anyone here really dislikes you. Perhaps the intended meaning of your post was simply misunderstood. I'll never claim to be as intelligent as you are, so I don't blame you if you completely disregard my words, but I recommend taking a different approach in the future, that is if you wish to be respected in the community.
