Hello All, I would like to apply at Insead for January 2016 Intake, someone else intend to apply for this period? Kinds regards, Vyal

Yes OveragedAspirant . That's confirmation, you should get a second mail stating your application file is complete and ready for review.

dodoshyne I haven't received that second email. I'm going to try writing in to my AO. thanks again!

OveragedAspirant both my mails came in the same day. If you submitted on Mar 6, past the March 4 deadline, would you be considered you for R1?

dodoshyne my bad, I checked my mail. I submitted it on 4 March instead of 6 March. If I haven't gotten my math all wrong, submission time was 0534 AM in France (I'm at GMT+8). I'm really anxious as INSEAD is my first choice and greatest hope.

OveragedAspirant Think you can contact the AO. Though quite possible they're overwhelmed considering the admission dates for R4 2015 & R1 2016 overlap.

Thanks dodoshyne . You've been most helpful. Hope we get to be classmates! :D

Looking forward to hearing about the interviews but for now, TGIF!

So damn worried about the interview!! Hope I get a call At least with an interview, you know they haven't blatantly rejected your application. I am so nervous after months and months of research, planning and hard work on those essays. To confirm - Do we have 1 interview or 2? I heard some folks only had 1 interview?

Hey All!! Really glad to join this wonderful forum and interact with fellow aspirants. Started studying and am planning to take GMAT in 3-4 weeks time.Getting around 700 on GMAT prep. Hopefully can push it to higher 700s by next month. Wanted to know your thoughts about when to apply, R3 or R4? Does it make a big difference between R3 or R4? Are there just too few seats left in R4. I have always heard that applying earlier is better but don't want to rush the application also. My brief profile would be Indian/Male/28/ Garduated with 3.4 GPA from a premier college/ 3 year Work-Ex in Oil & Gas + 3 year as entrepreneur having started my own firm. Any tips would be more than welcome. Cheers!!

Some more info about international exposure/motivations would help. I think general consensus is that if you are from a less competitive applicant pool, later rounds could even prove beneficial. If you're e.g. Indian, male, IT, R1 is preferable. The thing with INSEAD is that there's no one special, because they're all special, unlike US schools where you get the token international dude.
