Submitted my application few hours ago!

29F/Fonty/Asian in US/700/3.8 GPA at Top 25 business undergrad/Okay EC

7 years WE: 2 years finance, 2 years global audit, 2.5 years in leveraged finance. Worked in France, Japan, and China... traveled to 32 countries. I'm hoping my international experience would offset my so-so GMAT and EC :/

Good luck every one!

wow that's a great profile I would be very surprised if you are not admitted. best of luck. Your gmat is 700 is about average and doesn't need offsetting.

thanks, but please don't jinx it! :oops: last year i was dinged from LBS (well essay was crap cuz i finished last min and a low gmat).. going to re-apply this year tho. will see.. INSEAD is my first choice.. keeping my fingers crossed.

you are right sorry :(. Essays are very important and if I was you I would get some help with proof reading etc. (not with writing them!), it might cost you but in the grand scheme of things it is a small expense. Also have your post grad goals and the reason for getting MBA well though out as schools expects that you know what you want before you join. good luck!

I have also not gotten a confirming email (aside from the 2 automatic onces confirming application has been uploaded and payment received). I'm not worried yet, as previous posts seem to indicate it can take a couple of weeks. But I am checking obsessively.

question.. does any one know how do they treat dual nationalities? Do they dump you into one (the first one in your app) when they apply the "<10% from each nationality" rule?

I also submitted a few hours before deadline on 12/1 and received a confirmation email on Friday at 4am (10am Paris time). I'd wait at least another week to follow up if I were you. Have you checked if your GMAT/transcripts etc. were delivered?

Ask your boss to give you a project with a mission impossible deadline - it will get you motivated.

I received the application upload receipt e-mail - and the upload of photograph and payment was successful. GMAT score has been delivered ages ago and i sent my transcript there almost over 1 month ago........I'll wait a bit longer to contact them....but it's nerve-wracking!

Finally had my 2nd interview for INSEAD, about one week later than the original deadline. Think it went well. It lasted a bit more than an hour and a half. The interviewer was nice and friendly, but a bit more structured and focused on asking the 'interview' questions he said he needed to ask. That said, was still going off track and switching to more casual topics and his experience. He asked me the usual questions on career goals, why an MBA and why INSEAD, as well as several situation questions, and strength and weaknesses... At the end, he was surprised of the time (longer than he'd thought) and said it was lovely talking to me. I said I'd keep him updated on the admissions decision and he said he hoped that it was a positive one. Hopefully, that means he'd be supportive in the feedback... Now eagerly awaiting answers from INSEAD (by the 17th) as well as LBS (15th) and Oxford (10th)

Few more days... Best of luck everyone!

Good luck! I applied 1st round, had interviews and waiting for answers now (incl Oxford R1)... Suppose it will be a tough choice if u get admission to Oxford, but if you really want to go to INSEAD would agree the gbp 5k Oxford Deposit would be smth worth loosing...
