errr...don't know what the protocol is because it's the first time I'm doing this. :) I had to reply to let her know that I won't be around for a few days. If you don't have nothing to say, probably it's better to wait because I'm sure she's really busy at the moment.

They are highly discouraged, but some ask for it anyways.. From all the admits I have spoken, 1 interviewer will be nice, 1 interview will be aggressive...

H! My greetings to all admitted!

I read in this stream that one guy was specifically asked to share his essays directly with his interviewer. Did anybody else receive the same request? If not, did your interviewers show somehow that they had seen your essays?

Thanks one541!

Can somebody check in MBAconnect how many people are admitted from Kazakhstan at moment, and how many were admitted in the previous intake?

None so far! I am eagerly waiting for someone from Kazakhstan. I have business operations in Almaty!

Did that happen in the previous rounds as well?

I don't mind the wait as long as the response is positive. With my fingers crossed......

No Kazakstanis at the moment in MBAConnect.

FROM Insead Admissions Blog: Parlez-vous français?
Had I known six years ago that I would attend INSEAD and slave away to pass an A2 level language exam, I would have refrained from throwing away my college notes. Learning French is no easy business, and I uncontrollably joined the whiners club, complaining about the difficulty of gender agreement rules. However, as the study hours progressed beyond 50, I started to see a different picture, and I started to appreciate this experience. Below are, what to me, the three main benefits of learning another language.

 

1. It grows your brain.

Developing your brain is like going to the gym; the more you work out, the more toned you become. Even for a mediocre learner like me, learning French has improved my memory and thinking speed. Cognitive flexibility is a great thing, for a small price of being outside your comfort zone.

 

2. It gives you more insight into another culture.

There is so much culture in a language, and the depth it embodies is what I find most intriguing. Simple things such as differentiating between ‘bon’ and ‘bien’ to me is as satisfying as admiring the Eiffel Tower. As a bonus, I like films, and being able to understand a few lines from Amélie is definitely a better experience than multitasking with the subtitles.

 

3. It makes you appreciate your own culture.

I am born a Chinese and in the decade that I lived in English-speaking countries, I think in English most of the time except when counting numbers. I always suspected the math proficiency found in many Chinese has more to do with the language than the math. After going through the French numbers I see a trend emerging, because to count from 1 to 100, more new words are introduced in French (and English) than in Chinese. Each culture has its peculiarities, and I continue to develop new appreciation of my own heritage.

 

In summary I would encourage anyone to explore another language beyond the beginner level. It’s an epiphany-guaranteed experience, so why not?

Hi all,
Sorry for strange question, what are the actual classes start/end dates for the class from letter below:
your application has been processed for the Class of December 2015 Round 3, starting in January 2015, and I am very pleased to let you know that you have been selected for interview.
I was pretty much sure the actual study year for this intake is 2016, now getting confused.
