Really? Then I can look for some temporary respite on the 4th of july here. Independence from worry? Atleast for a day? Oh I hope so!

Guys, looking at the previous year's stats..INSEAD generally start to send pre-select invite 2 weeks before deadline. So i am guessing we can start to see some action either from 4th / 5th July (this week) or next week starting 9th (Tuesday).

Fingers crossed!!

Good luck all! I think the R1 guys have taken their business to the Facebook group. Can't wait to join them!

Yes, and it's rocking! Right now we have about 60 members (including partners). I think it's still not representative of the total admitted number in R1. I think it's 150 or so. Of course, there are admitted applicant's who have never been to forum and may not know about the facebook group.

Anyways, we keep reading updates from you guys, so if any questions, I'm sure you will get our opinion.

Looks like you are having a busy time as the admin of the facebook group.. A headache I'm sure you're enjoying :)

Hi,
As the news for the R1 fade away is time for us, the ones in R2 to step up and carry on the flag. I just finished reading all the posts from this thread and I was thrilled to see how most of you got admitted. Congratz my future friends :).
But then I got a little bit nervous thinking to the long waiting summer until September 6th... when I hope most of us, including me :D, will join you.
Let's hear the R2 voices in the meanwhile :).
I am from Romania, 11 years of IT experience, programming/project managemnt/business unit management. I know I am a little bit old for INSEAD, but my will is strong.
Anyone from RO here?

Adrian

Welcome to the thread... Time for the R2 guys to take over this thread... now that most of the applicants from R1 are busy with facebook.

Welcome R2 guys on the forum, Adrian, Sherman, sunzhillin... and best luck all for the interview decisions...
btw .. Adrian I too forma a part of the higher experience group.. almost ten years, of which six is running my own company. And there have been multiple people with higher experiences admitted in R1.

Wow! lot of guys here with more WE applying for R2.
Any R2 applicants out there with less than 5 years WE??

Dude, i dont think it has got anything to do with the number of years of WE... its about the quality of the application typically essays and the accomplishments...

Lets see how it goes, few more days to go! ...if lucky 2 more days!!

Hi Guys,

Congratulations to all R1 admits. Have been living your INSEAD journey through this forum secretly ;) (and what a journey it has been!)
R2 applicant from India (and for a change I am not an NRI :)) working with an IB in a corporate strategy role. All the best to all fellow R2ers. Hoping for the best....

Hello and welcome!
Fellow non NRI here :)

Good question. It would seem that most people on this forum who have applied for R2 are of Indian origin - that just makes it all the more difficult for us

docks007
Any non-Indians in round 2 ? :twisted:
