Got an email from Stefanie. There is no alumni available in my town. I will have to take an hour flight out of town for the interviews.

I was notified of my interview invite in the morning on January 6th and haven't received interviewer details yet. I've spoken to VM previously and she said basically just to sit tight, you should hear something usually a week after or a few days after that. Will keep you posted when I get interviewer details though!

Sounds about right, although Feb 8th is a bit too tight to get done with both the interviews.

FROM Insead Admissions Blog: The beginning before the beginning*

There is about one month left until it actually starts – the year that 14D round 1 admits have been anxiously anticipating since July. Except in many ways it feels as if it has already started. I used to have mixed feelings about the usefulness of Facebook in our lives but these days I am a convert. 14D is a fully established community, even though most of us haven’t actually met each other. This also raises some interesting questions – will we live up to the image of our online personas? Are we the people we project ourselves to be (willingly or unwillingly)? Luckily I have not felt disappointed yet. I loved my Romanian fellows, whom I have briefly interacted with: the contagious energy of the girl I skyped with (because she lives in Luxembourg) and the depth of thought that comes across from this incredibly young guy who lives in Bucharest.

During the interviews I have been warned that the sheer diversity of people at INSEAD can be overwhelming on occasion, even though exhilarating at the same time. It already is – it feels like hundreds of different cultures and personalities are flushed over you, albeit in the form of bits, bytes and pixels for the time being. I find myself wondering fairly often: how do I pronounce that name or why is that funny? The only option available at this point is to take it all in and revel in the experience.

And then of course there are the more difficult questions that come with this anticipation and electronic interaction: will some of these people that you seem to interact well with electronically be your intellectual mates – for better or worse? Will you find in that thematic Facebook group you joined, the partners to launch that fantastic business idea that you’ve been nurturing in your head for some time now? The much sought after “Ying” to your skill set’s “Yang”?

The good news is that answers are coming very soon. In just a few weeks roughly half of these smart, funny, intense people will cease to exist only in my laptop and will become real people, in the flesh. We will be sharing ideas and start working together on projects. We will have disagreements and perfectly harmonious interactions. But if reality turns out to be half as good as the electronic world, I think this will be indeed the great year that we have all been expecting.

Just thought I'd jump in here... Got an invite from VM on the 9th, UK applicant . Waiting for interview info in London. Any one waiting here? I am travelling for work for a week, should I let VM know? How does it work, do they give you details of the person and then you get in touch, or do they give you time and place?

They usually give you the interviewers' contact details and you are supposed to get in touch with them to schedule the interview as per mutual convenience.
I'm based in UK as well with VM coordinator and supposed to be traveling to Denmark for couple of weeks sometime soon.
I think I'll wait to hear and try to schedule the interviews first. If it doesn't work out then I'll get in touch with VM again.

Hope it helps !

Yeah, i got the email from VM too. She said they will arrange an interview in London. Strangely I travel to Copenhagen too every weekend.

FROM Insead Admissions Blog: First Impressions…

What a whirlwind couple of months these have been, leading up to the first day of the 14D class… A round-3 applicant, I got the admission phone call at the end of October, and it’s been a daze of activity since then. Having to wrap up all my outstanding tasks at work; doing numerous handovers and knowledge transfers; putting all my documents together and applying for the French visa; getting in touch with INSEAD alumni to learn everything I could about the place, the courses, the people; hunting online for a place to stay in Fontainebleau; saying goodbye to all my friends at work; traveling around and spending time with relatives and friends; and taking the first steps in my quest to learn French…

INSEAD’s reputation as a great melting pot of cultures precedes it of course, so I showed up on day one fully expecting to be part of a diverse class – diversity in culture, in ideas, in backgrounds. But nothing can prepare one for the actual experience of being amidst such a fascinating group of people. At the cocktail after the opening ceremony, I met and heard the life stories of people from (to just pick a few random countries!) Bulgaria, Canada, the UK, China, India, Cyprus, Israel… One moment you are speculating on the future of the oil and gas industry in the Middle East with a classmate from Lebanon, the next moment you jump into a discussion on the world Chess championships with a Norwegian, and without missing a beat you move into a conversation on ice hockey with a Canadian… And everyone has a very interesting life story to share.

At the opening ceremony Deputy Dean Prof. Peter Zemsky spoke about the model that INSEAD has pioneered; what happens when you put a bring a group of diverse, talented and ambitious participants together and throw them into an intense 10-month MBA program? Well, we are about to find out! But if first impressions are anything to go by, the year promises to be challenging, stimulating and transformative.

I emailed both my interview contacts last night. How much time should I give them before following up? And has anyone tried calling or should I stick with emails?

Thanks!
