Hi guys,
I am new on this forum - also a R2 applicant.
Last week I completed both interviews. I believe both of them went quite well. The usual questions on why MBA, why INSEAD, other schools, financing MBA, my hobbies, expectations of INSEAD. Both interviewers were informal and friendly - I even felt overdressed wearing a suite.
Besides, I want to share something that most of you might find helpful. An acquaintance of mine, a graduate of INSEAD, recently completed an interview with a candidate and shared with me how he was instructed to do the interviews. Basically, the interviewers are provided with a set of open questions - motivation for MBA, international experience, career progression and similar stuff. Then, it is up to them to decide how they ask those questions - because they will have to fill in the form. So, no bad/good cop scenarios and similar stuff. I am also surprised seeing in the forum interview reports that say no 3 whys! At the end of the form, the interviewers have to select one of the options: strongly recommend, recommend, neither, do not recommend.
Another thing that one of my interviewers told me - they are not allowed to give feedback to candidates.
Alright, good luck to all of you! I hope to meet many of you at INSEAD.
