INSEAD is my one and only school applied to and I think I might give it another try should Plan A failed...
I just received a scholarship for a short term management programme in Hawaii though and that could be the Plan B.

Which other schools are you considering?

It's tough waiting around for a response that's beyond our control at this point.
So have you guys formulated a Plan B? or C?

My Plan B is to apply to other schools instead of just one. And this time it would be the fall intake -- a lot more schools to overcome the randomness of admissions.

What's your Plan B?

Congratz to those in R2 who've already heard about interviews.

Did any of you have GT as your coordinator? Do they always call or email or a combination of both? The waiting is killing me!!

Interview invite --> comes by email.
Admit notification --> usually phone call, followed by email. In very rare case, the other way around.

Marie is my admission co-ordinator as well. I am from the Indian pool of applicants and I dont expect any early invites (If at all!) for this pool. But I still refresh my mailbox every now and then!!!!

I am on the same boat as mon0818 and have only applied to INSEAD. I am definitely not interested in a 2 year course and I intend to have a focus ( read- job/ business) in Asia after graduation. Insead and IIM PGPX are the best choices for such a requirement. I have not applied to IIM PGPX this year and my plan B is really to continue on with what I am doing now instead of applying to other colleges.

keep my fingers crossed.

here is my profile:

Chinese applicant, 28, gmat700, T waived, 5 years in Commercial Banking in an EU country, I was previously a risk manager and analyst, and currently a corporate finance manager.

I only applied for INSEAD, if it doesn't go well, I would probably apply NYU at Oct, well, not decided yet.

Hi, and what about LATAM?
Brazil, Chile, Argentina,...?

Thank you very much!

2 weeks + till notice for R2's

My guess is that the only people who need to worry about numbers are the top 3: India, US, France.
Others only need to compete on the strength of their application.

Why? Because being from an uncommon country does not help you. Only coming from a common country has an impact -- hurts you -- because admission is capped for those countries at around 10-15%.

This is not like affirmative action. This is why the AdCom will tell you that they do not have quotas (minimum) but they have caps (maximum).

This is my understanding. Feel free to tell me if I'm wrong

Submission date of your application has no impact on when you receive your interview invite. I remember submitting my application an hour before the deadline, and got an interview invite email more than a week prioir to the interview deadline.

but does it mean that if you get interview invitation 2 weeks before deadline, you would have a better shot to be admitted?
