Do we still think INSEAD sends out most of the invites on the last day? Historically yes they've worked this way. Is this true this time as well? If yes, we should see invites flowing in tomorrow and of course day after

I expect mine should be in tomorrow. :) If not, likely it will be bad news, since Dings normally come out in the last day according to previous threads....

I just got a "INSEAD: Monthly Update from MBA Dean" email? Do we get enrolled into their newsletter automatically when we apply?

For a moment, I was happy that I got the interview invite..then realized that it was a newsletter.. :(

I received a similar "INSEAD: Monthly Update from MBA Dean" at 11:12 EST. Believe it might have been sent to all applicants.

the newsletter reads:

The Admissions Team would like to request that you inform your Admissions Coordinator as soon as possible if your personal circumstances have changed significantly since your acceptance. In the case of deferral requests, please bear in mind that deferrals are only granted on an exceptional basis, usually for serious medical conditions. A formal request for a deferral should be submitted in writing, clearly stating your reasons for the request.

Thats interesting. So some of us who received the newsletter have not even interviewed. But artificialimpatience has completed his interviews. Sine the email is sent out from the same email address to all of us, its not coordinator base, and I cant quite understand the rationale behind it going out to only a select group. Not sure if it means much though, given that its been sent to people without interview invites as well.

Just had both of my interviews today. First was with a PE director with 10 yrs MC experience with Bain (class of ~'02) in his office, second was with a Principal in MC specializing in the airline industry (class of ~'97) in a coffee shop.

First one was bizarre. Only way to describe it. He wasn't very enthusiastic about the program as I had expected an interviewer to be. I presume since he was sponsored by his company that he didn't have a whole lot of incentive to get every last drop out of the 10 months, but for someone not to absolutely gush about INSEAD is a first in my experience. Very cut and dry interview as opposed to a free-flowing discussion about CV and INSEAD. He had another engagement after 1 hour so cut the time short and kept looking at his watch at the end -- very off-putting. He hadn't really prepared, though had some basic questions written down...presumably the ones he was required to report back to the adcom on. He wasn't the "bad-cop" per se, but not a good cop either. By the same token, I didn't bomb the interview, but we certainly didn't click. He was kind enough to walk me out the door and crack a few jokes along the way, but it was really an odd interview.

However....the second interview was magic. Instead of straight-up asking the "why MBA / why INSEAD / why now?" questions, it was a very engaged discussion about the airline industry, leadership, and what INSEAD meant to him. The beginning of the "interview" was very much a case-study type question about a very relevant topic for my company and the airline industry in general. The interview also lasted ~1 hr, but it could have easily gone on for another two hours without break. The interviewer was exceptionally enthusiastic about INSEAD and said he would do it all over again at the drop of a hat if he had the chance. That really gave me a good feeling about the program and reinforced my decision to apply. Can't say the same about the first one.

I neither asked for feedback, nor was any proffered -- though I'm pretty sure I know where I stood where both interviewers. Time will tell how things work out, but I have my fingers firmly crossed!

Best of luck to all!
