Has any R2 applicant received email for interview?

I am a R2 applicant for the 2023 fall intake of INSEAD’s MIM programme and I had my alumni interview today. It was pretty straightforward. Lasted for 40 minutes. Some situations based questions were asked, but apart from that nothing out of the ordinary.

when did they notify you on getting selected for the alumni interview round?

10th november. I sent in my application and my KIRA video interview round by 31st october.

Hi! Does anyone know if INSEAD MiM has strict restrictions when it comes to GMAT score? My overall GMAT score is 710 but I only scored a 4 for IR, and on their website they say they recommend having an IR score higher than 5. Would this take away my chances of being shortlisted?

From my understanding, there is no hard cutoffs. They gauge the overall quality of the application and most importantly, they check if you are someone who’s compatible with their philosophy and vision. GMAT is only a filter, and I do not think it’ll take away your chances of being shortlisted.

I atteneded an event regarding MiM conducted by INSEAD. In that event they specifically said 2 things
1) INSEAD would never reject an application only for 1 reason. If at all the application is rejected, there would be multiple reasons.
2) If your GMAT/GRE is the only weak part of your application, the adcom will reach out to you and ask you to attempt GMAT again.

Hello! I had my interview today.
It was majorly what I had expected after talking to people. General questions like Why MiM? Why INSEAD? Long-term and Short-term goal, etc.,
One of the questions that was out of the blue was - ’Given your work experience in this particular sector, what are the innovations in this sector that you think will leave a long lasting impression on the economy?’
After these questions, which took about half an hour, he asked me whether I had any questions for him. I had done my research and we engaged in a conversation for another half an hour. This was the most important part of the interview according to me. Because everyone will prepare for the basic questions, it is the questions and discussion that you have other than these questions are what lets the interviewer know you as a person.

Based on my interview and talking to people I would suggest 3 things:
1) Make concise and point-wise answers to general questions and discuss your answers with someone whose opinion you trust.
2) You are going to be nervous, accept this and train yourself to remember the bullet points for your specific answers. Nervousness is going to make you rephrase the answers, which will only make you sound human and not too rehearsed, so remembering the exact point that you want to convey will help.
3) Take your time to answer when faced with a curve ball. There is no correct answer, just correct approach.
4) Research about your interviewer so that you have things to discuss. If you visit their LinkedIn profile, make sure to take a screenshot so don’t have to revisit the profile again and again.

Have fun.
