INSEAD Waitlist - September 2012 intake

No problem at all, happy to help- hope you found the chat transcript it is a really interesting read.

Thanks for the encouragement, I have come to the conclusion that I'll send INSEAD and update soon where I also mention that I now have financing in order through company scholarship. My GMAT score was 680 (q44, v38) in the quants section I fall below the INSEAD recommended 70-75th percentile, and am confident I can get greater score in GMAT quants (and overall) with not too much effort. But I am wondering whether its worth it and if it at all helps, not seen anyone from previous WL forums submitting a new GMAT score - but anyways it might help me in other school applications...

And yes, I have now moved abit out of the "INSEAD bubble" and also started looking at other schools I think that will also make the "wait" at INSEAD much much easier...

Very true!

It is a patience game. I just read through the WL forum for Sept 11 intake. and there was at least 6-7 admits (only on the forum) after January 28th. So it might happen anytime, but there will certainly be movement along the way.....

Hi guys,

I just read from someone on another forum, that a previous WL'er had asked his interviewers for feedback regarding his application and next steps when being on WL (who knows, one of the interviewers might also have been on a WL back in the days - in this case one of the interviewers had been).

What do you guys think?

hey inseadspirant2012
that's what I counted too, 6 or 7 waitlisted guys were accepted on the 28th of january, this is why I think it's a huge deadline for us; after that it was just one guy who was accepted from time to time; that's why I won't believe much after the end of Jan

Count me in

Does anybody know the distribution of nationalities among admitted student so far?

Admitted students can see that information. You can ask for help in the other topic.

Hi all,

Happy new year everyone. How are all of you doing?

I am eagerly awaiting the end of Jan and (hopefully) seeing some movement on the WL, also planned a school visit later this month.

Anyone been in contact with the school?

Not that it would help but some question is troubling my head, maybe someone here know a lit bit about it.
According to MBAconncect, there is only one admit who shares my nationality (I understood that INSEAD takes into consideration many different aspects of a profile, still this seems to me most important). Last your total admits in my nationality are 7.
According to the general information on forums and adcom transcripts waitlisted candidates are considered only after some accepted candidates deny INSEAD's offer.

My question is do we (waitlisteds in first round, have a chance to be compared with actual round 2 candidates)
What I mean is since the number of applicants from my nationality is not very high, It might include important variations among rounds in terms of admissability. And it might be the case that by INSEAD's criteria a waitlisted candidate in first round might be better (in terms of admissability) than a secound round applicant who would be offered a seat.

Or do our files are considered only after someone rejects the offer?

Hi brahms,

I am also in the same situation, no admit from my country (Norway) but then again several admits with a consulting background.

I think you bring up a very interesting question, my guess (and hope) would be - that waitlisted candidates are used for crafting the ideal class i.e. both situations where people deny offers, or good enough candidates are not in future rounds - waitlisted candidates can be offered a place.

The fact that waitlisted only get offers when others reject is only something ive read on forums, in the official response from INSEAD it said "depending on seat availability" which can also occur if there arent relevant/good enough candidates in future rounds....

Hi,

I am also in the waitlist. Wish all the best to those in the same boat. =)

Well. using forum and transcript information that I came by, I thought that to waitlisted candidates adcoms are saying you are good but there are too many of you and we need to chechk whether those better similars will accept. But if being waitlisted might mean you are less than OK but since there are too few of you we will wait and if no betters similars comes up we will let you in, then all will be clear for me.

Hi everyone,
I'm a round 2 applicant, and was just wondering if you all got interviews before being placed on the WL?
Or have some of you been directly listed there?
Good luck anyway to all of you.

Hi,

Placed on WL after interviews, I am 99% sure that is the case for all WL'ers....

Seems logical, just wanted to make sure.
Thanks a lot!

All fellow WL'ers,

Hope your doing well! So the deadline for the first deposit is the 20th of January, the school sometimes offers extensions - so we should be (hopefully) seeing some movement on the WL after the 20th of January.

Anyone else planning a school visit?

Hi all

I am a W/L candidate as well.

Anyone received an admit post 20 Jan?

Thanks!
