Well, I guess there is 497 places if the January and September takeins are equal (given that there are 994 students), so there is still some (small) chance to be accepted.
Don't forget about the R3 applicants buddy. I think they are prioritized than us. Only if they are not enough to fill the vacancies (is that even possible?) then we will be considered.
I'm not sure who has prioritization (I'm a R3 applicant), but I would guess that INSEAD wants the best students possible. My guess is that you're in the grey-zone somehow (by diversity, qualifications or both), so if R3 applicants are not 'better' or someone with a similar profile dings INSEAD etc. you will get accepted.
I'm sure that you would get the ding e-mail if you're totally out of the loop.
I drew the conclusion on the prioritization by looking at R2. Theoretically they should put us and the R2 applicants together in the same pool, and accept whoever is better by all factors considered. But did INSEAD take anybody off waitlist before accepting R2 applicants? No, they released the results to R2 first, and only when those people rejected the offer, they turned to the waitlisters.
That's why I guess it'd be the same for R3. They'll accept R3 students first and only if the accepted reject then the waitlisters will be considered. Another scenario is, if there are not enough good R3 candidates to fill the vacancy then waitlisters will be considered. But how likely would that be.
