I am planning on applying for September 2012 in Round 3.

From other forums, I see that people who have registered to Insead MBA connect can view the number of admitted candidates and the nationality distribution. Considering the fact that, more than 4 weeks have passed since the admit notifications of Round 1, could someone please share the number of admitted candidates on MBA connect?

Thanks

219 admitted so far (not sure if they remove the individuals who did not pay for the deposits).

Do you know whether people with dual citizenship are counted twice?
Would it be possible to have detailed figures per nationality?

Thanks

I applied in R2 and was asked by INSEAD to rewrite my GMAT and apply for R3. Has anyone experienced this and had any success?

I assume you have a real chance if they specifically asked you to do so.

219 admits so far: each person is counted once. Which nationality are you interested in?

Whis: you cannot get a full list of admits by nationality, but one can restrict the search so as to see it one by one. As with "phdes", I can also give you the number of admits of the country you are interested in.

650 - the discrepancy between verbal and quant was highly skewed to verbal (panicked on the math section). So I'm guessing that's what I need to adjust.

I see. Sounds as if you have a good shot of being admitted.

Hey Ducksworth! I am interested in Chinese, French, and Taiwanese nationalities. Could you have a look?
Thanks!

I had my first interview today. It took place in the interviewer's office and lasted... 2h30!
But the talk was great so I didn't see time passing.

Finally, she gave me her business card, asked me to keep in touch, and wished me good luck for my next interview.

I am happy that halfway is :done

Also done with the first interview. The interviewer tried challenging my view during the interview, but later he told me it was the interview method. Finally, he said he enjoyed the talk and told me all his former interviewee got admitted. Not sure whether it's a good sign..My next interview will be on Feb 18 due to the other interviewer's vacation. Will this late date bring me any disadvantage?

Fonty: 130

I believe there are usually 300 in Fonty and 200 in Singy for a typical class. So still a looooong way to go!!!

I have scheduled both of my interviews for this Friday. For all those that have already interviewed, can you please post some of the more challenging questions you were asked or at least those questions beyond the normal ones that we see posted time and time again, aka Why INSEAD, Why Now? etc.... Thanks!!!
