2 Questions: 1 How many South African Students have been admitted? 2 Any advice on how best to prepare for the interviews?

Most of the people suggest not to prepare a lot which is true as its very conversational. Clear Admit is simply the best source. People have shared the experiences in detail and that will give you a very good idea. Just go through it and you ll be good to go. https://blog.clearadmit.com/category/int ... ol/insead/

Going to be tough for Indians. Its already 49, although people say they go a bit beyond 10%.

assuming class strength of 510 this year. 10% is 51. already it is 49 so remaining 2 seats will be for round 3 people. no wonder interview call for Indians in round 3 was comparatively less. unless INSEAD increases class strength or increases % of Indians in class, making it from waitlist looks impossible. can someone tell me totally how many people are there in MBA connect?

Just checked the numbers for 13D and 14J. In 13D there were 76 Indians and in 14J , 61 Indians. So you still have all the chances if you are a preferred candidate in the waitlist. I have no clue on other stats Do try your best by talking to previous waitlist students.

In case anyone is curious to go through this forum dont go beyond page 55, its all useless stuff.

thanks docks007. that's an encouraging piece of news. i assume the figures you have quoted includes Indians with dual nationalities. 137 Indians out of 1024 students is around 13%. i hope the figure stays the same this year too. I am unable to get contact details of students who were waitlisted last year. And the people whom i contacted aren't responding.
