FROM Insead Admissions Blog: The three stages of pre-MBA bliss

During the first stage, there is just one overwhelming feeling – excitement! In the days and weeks following the acceptance call from my admissions officer, there was hardly anything else I could focus on. I spent a lot of time daydreaming, imagining all the cool and interesting people I would meet, fantasizing about the exciting trips I would take, and wondering which electives would best suit my interests. Having never been particularly active on Facebook, I suddenly found myself logging in every day to read the latest updates from the 14D group, and revel in the collective anticipation of the upcoming year.

In the second stage, panic crept in as the realization dawned on me that there were only three months left to finalize funding, dispose of most material possessions and organize last lunches/brunches/dinners with friends and colleagues. In addition, there were language and exemption exams to prepare for as well as the list of pre-readings looming over me. And not to forget the career tests to take, CV(s) to update, internships to research, and so on. I frantically went to work on all of these items at the same time, while also trying to cross things off my personal to do list, such as restaurants I had wanted to try, books I had wanted to read and places I had wanted to visit since coming to Geneva two years ago.

And now I have reached the third and final stage of the pre-MBA period in which tranquility reigns supreme. As I come to terms with the fact that I will not accomplish everything I had planned before the start of the program, stress is gradually replaced by calmness. While I am still excited, the initial euphoria has turned into deep underlying contentment. I spend the last weeks of December enjoying mundane activities such as coffee chats, movie nights and gym visits. Although I still try to squeeze in some MBA prep, most of my time is dedicated to the people I care about. I will have the entire next year to study, network and explore career opportunities. But right now is the time to say proper farewells to the ones that supported me throughout and to gather energy for the madness that lies ahead.

The first lesson then is learned: accept imperfection, savor the moment and focus on what’s most important (hint: it’s the people, not the books).

FROM Insead Admissions Blog: Singy vs Fonty

I moved from Singapore to Fontainebleau after the summer. Although both campuses are identical in academics and most events (i.e. national week, etc.) are replicated across both campuses, the student life is completely different.

To put it in a nutshell:

“In Singy, I know more people. In Fonty, I know people more”.
The Singapore campus, right in the middle of the city, is rife with gatherings. Most students stay at Dover Parkview or Heritage apartments, and both apartments are next to each other. Student gatherings usually take place in one of the apartments and campus parties are hosted in clubs with enough capacity for the whole promotion.

Fontainebleau, a quiet commune 40 minutes train ride away from Paris, is much more laid back compared to Singapore. Students live in shared houses or single apartments. The nearest place with enough capacity for the entire promotion is about 25 minutes drive away from the city center, making the core hang out group those who share the same housing for convenience of transportation.

Which one is better? This is the toughest question. One consensus among my colleagues, to which I agree, is that the are both equally awesome in different ways, and yes, they are very different.

FROM Insead Admissions Blog: 2013~The best year of my life… so far.

“The best year of your life”, has long been associated with INSEAD’s one year MBA program. Having experienced the year myself, calling it “the best year” is simply an understatement for a lack of a better word. Never have I been exposed to such diversity, where differences are celebrated and they blend perfectly to form a different kind of culture beyond religion, nationality, and other social nuances. This culture is filled with humility, respect, and at the same time, courage and tenacity to take on the world.

I’m now in the toughest period, P6 (out of 5 periods in the academic year), in which I woke up one morning in Jakarta, slowly realizing that I’m neither in my usual shared house Maison Royale in Fontainebleau, nor Dover Parkview in Singapore. I have no assignments due and nothing to read, however I’m nowhere near my usual friends nor my new found family to celebrate the free time. After 12 short months, 10 countries, with over 500 friends since my admission, I’m back in the real world.

This real world however, is different. Now I have friends to catch up with people almost everywhere I go, friends to ask any subject which may help me personally and professionally, as diverse as from interview tips, philanthropy, to hedge fund investing, and most importantly, a new family called alumni.

This will be my last post for this blog, at least as a student. It has been an honor and I hope my writings has been helpful. To end on a good note, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Dedicated to: INSEAD MBA Graduates, class of 13D

You'll need to use the (user specific) link that was provided to you via email to register. The only time that link directly takes you to "log in" instead of "register" is if that link has already been used to register. You might need to get in touch with the system admins ([email protected]) once the school reopens after the holidays.

Once you get a functioning link, you -
(1) set up your future insead email address
(2) the system then sends you an email to your non-insead email account with username (your insead email) and temporary password
(3) you then use this UN/PW to log in to: https://mbaconnect.insead.edu

good luck

I'm working on other applications whose deadlines are coming up next week. That has effectively kept me distracted from going crazy about the invite from INSEAD.
