Admissions officer is Isabelle Ramos. (how does this matter?)

1) Does anyone have an idea of how long it usually takes between pre selection email to actual interview?
2) What are the conversion rates? (no of candidates interviewed to no of candidates accepted?)

regards,
Rahul

Hi Rahul- no idea about the lag between the mail and the interview, but I read somewhere- not sure- that the conversion rate is around 50%

Nerves going up some notches now... All the best to you :)

Hey,
Got an email this morning from the INSEAD admissions officer stating that i've been pre-selected for the interview.
Im now waiting for them to "match me up" with alumni who will interview me.

I work in Dubai. Anyone else from this region who's been pre selected?
best of luck for all the others!
regards,
Rahul


Hi Rahul.

Congrats on being shortlisted. Could you please share your profile.

My co-ord is Isabelle Ramos too and I have not received an invite. But I guess its a matter of waiting. I am from the region as well.

I am sorry to hear this. Best of luck with the rest of your applications! Who was your coordinator / location?

This shows that they are sending out decisions (in a random manner?) irrelative to whether these are positive or not.

Of course. If it's a ding it will say Final Decision if it's an interview invite it will say Interview Decision.

My first application failed me too (I think one of my two interviews did not go amazingly well) but I have learned a lot since then and hoping for the best this time round. The important thing is when you fail to learn something and just try harder.

Just got the mail from Stefanie Hanny saying that I have been preselected for interview. :-D

Don't think my F5 button could've taken another day of abuse.

Congratulations to those that have been selected and good luck to those still waiting for confirmation.

Got the interview call as well. Based in the Middle East.
I'm a reapplicant and therefore know the process well - we should receive details of our interviewers in a week. Once received, please contact them as soon as possible to schedule the interviews.

Not really. My coordinator is CT and I havent received any notification yet, however she has initiated the invitation process. Not sure about the pattern that is usually followed? We just need to stay hopeful and positive :)
