INSEAD's MBA program only runs in Fonty and Singapore ... INSEAD's has some executive education programs in Abu Dhabi but as far as I know they don't offer MBA level courses in Abu Dhabi.

Thanks...i also researched about Abu Dhabi and that indeed is for Executive study but if students are interested they can take an optional course over there as well

I just had a conversation with INSEAD about this.
They cannot confirm your materials were received by calling them or emailing them. If you are submitting I think there is some link the app that allows you to check if they have all the materials, but I'm not sure if you can do this before you are ready to submit. Someone else can comment on that.
The best thing to do is have some evidence that you sent the material, and if anything should happen, and they don't get it, they will contact you and it should be straightfoward to let them know that it was lost in the mail. Hope this helps. Cheers, and good luck.

Hi everyone, I thought of sharing this before I leave the forum. I sampled 20 old interviews (https://www.clearadmit.com/wiki/index.ph ... dInterview - posts 14 to 27) and made a list with questions and their frequency. I present them here in an order that made sense to me!

1. Walk me through your resume. Describe major events. - 70%
2. Describe your company and/or position. - 15%
3. Why do you want to have an MBA? - 70%
4. Why did you choose INSEAD? - 75%
5. Why have an MBA now? - 45%
6. What other schools have you applied for and why not going there instead? - 30%
7. Describe your short and/or long term career objectives. - 60%
8. Can you not achieve your objectives without an MBA? - 15%
9. Discuss two projects/achievements/challenges at work. - 15%
10. What are your major extra-curricular activities?- 15%
11. State your strengths and/or weaknesses. - 15%
12. What other languages do you speak and what is your level of proficiency? - 15%
13. What is your capacity as a leader/manager? - 15%
14. Discuss your teamwork experience and/or multicultural teamwork experience. - 10%
15. Describe a time you failed. - 10%
16. Which campus do you want to study at? - 10%
17. What can you offer INSEAD? - 5%
18. How would your colleagues describe you? - 5%
19. What are the cultural differences between Europe and China? - 5%
20. When you’re in a gathering, what attracts your attention first? - 5%
21. What makes you extremely angry/ passionate? - 5%
22. What is your style of negotiation? - 5%
23. How do you deal with a person who’s determined not to listen to you even though he/she knows you are right? - 5%
24. How do you deal with a boss who is not as smart as you? - 5%

Moreover, the interview style is typically conversational and its purpose is primarily to assess cultural fit.

Good luck to everyone!

Hi all,
Count me in for R1 too!

I had a question w.r.t. the INSEAD MBA application form. Not quite sure if anyone had a similar situation.
How do you specify the salary if your role was a contract role (on a daily rate)? Do you convert it to annual salary? If yes, how (i.e. daily rate x 260 or by some other means)?
