Hey Guys

I submitted my application for R3 on the last day..and my referee submitted the recommendation 15 mins prior to the deadline on 1st August. Anyhow I have received the mail that my application is complete.

This is my first post on GC and insead and IMD are the only schools I have applied. I spent last three hours reading the 37 page thread. very interesting read.

contrary to what everyone advised me I did the unthinkable and as an Indian male applied in R3. I am just wondering if that just works in favour of ppl like me, instead of diminishing chances. What if everyone thought not to apply believing the ad com has already selected the chosen Indians. Going by the number of posts here ( which may be thoroughly wrong) it seems not many have applied Indians or otherwise R3.

I do think I have a competitive profile and should at least be given a chance at preselected interview. :lol:
Does anyone know for sure if the candidates essays or profile is shared with the I alumni taking the interview. I read conflicting findings here. Somebody shared that interview is just to see your fitment with Insead. In another post someone remarked that interview is there to check if you have not lied/inflated/exaggerated about your profile. Any pointers?

Any other Indian male hopeful on the forum applying in round 3

The alumni making the interviews don't have access to your essays but they do have access to your application form.



I sent the application form to both interviewers and the essays were included (the links to the essays were active and the pdf files could be downloaded). So, the alumni can read them if thy were interested in them. I am not sure my interviewers read mine as they seemed more interested in discussing my resume.

Hello Alexander1...to answer your question...
"we ask you to please provide each interviewer with a copy of your online PDF application that you can access from your application Dashboard on this link: ****** (please note that your essays are not included as they are not required)."
This is a part of the e-mail one receives, long with interviewers`details, when he or she is selected to interviews. Hope that answers your query.
What I did was, while establishing the contact with my interviewers, I e-mailed them the application...and requested them to inform me if they will be interested to read through my essays or my resume. None was interested :P (They are honest INSEAD Alumni...they know that the procedure asks them to go through application only!)

Most of us received ph. calls. Some people received emails or just saw it on their INSEAD login page.

Good luck to all of you guys waiting! :-)

Hi All!

Three more days to go!

I also received an email from admissions asking for more details about my work experience as my overall years of experience did not match the positions detailed out in the application (they did not give enough lines so I skipped some early roles). I sent them my up to date resume and never heard since. Let's hope that that's not a bad sign.

All the best guys!

Oh, one more thing. One of my interviewers requested essays which surprised me as a workmate of mine interviews for INSEAD and he mentioned that they are asked not to ask for essays. Well, I suppose everyone may have different preferences.
