Why would they send out a few early invites? I'm curious to find out why they are special! :)

Anyone know if the % accepted with early interview invite > % "normal" invite? I scanned some of the previous GMC and BW threads and I think the only early invite candidate who didn't get accepted was charliechaplin

Yes. Normally, being called for interview earlier is a good sign. In my case, I was waitlisted probably because one of my interviews didn't go well. My interviewer was interviewing for the first time. I didn't realize that I needed to take control of the situation and set the direction if the interviewer wasn't driving the interview very well.

Anyway, all is well that ends well. I am in for Jan 2011.

Sorry my misunderstanding- I knew you were waitlisted didn't know that you got in- Congrats.

Does that make it 100% for early-invites (for our very limited, self-selected data set)?

I don't believe there is a correlation between the two. I am a R3 Jan 11 applicant who has been waitlisted. I received the interview invitation email almost 2 weeks before the deadline. One of my interviews didn't go very well, I wouldn't be surprised if that was the differentiating factor. I wish you the best for your interviews!

Poolpass,

Do you mind sharing why you felt the interview didn't go well? I've heard two different interview stories. One is the two interviewers do good cop/bad cop and the other is that the point of the interviews are to see your passion and fit for INSEAD (and if the interviewers could enjoy to work or be stuck in an airport with you).
