IMD 2013 - Calling All Applicants

i agree...it is pretty alarming to see that large number. i'm wondering if r2 will be different than the trend we're seeing with r1.

as far as the assessment day goes, what vd9 and menonvik wrote are correct - the assessment day summaries from last year's forum are pretty much spot on. the areas where i thought was surprising, though, were the individual interviews and group exercises. you can expect questions that directly pertain to your application and others that are not but something you should be able to easily answer, of course assuming you know enough about yourself, your goals, imd, etc. the challenge for me was finding a way where i could connect with my interviewer. this was important b/c i knew the answers and therefore could rattle it off. i wanted my answers, however, to resonate with the interviewer instead of just providing a quick and flippant response. part of that was to ensure that i found a way to move past the interviewer/ee relationship and into a more free-flowing information exchange. i think this dimension of interviewing is an art and something that i believe all imd applicants possess (yes, b/c we're top talent!). wrt the group exercises, it can sometimes be hard to remember that you're being individually assessed b/c it is pretty easy to get in the mode of answering the problem. i believe we were able to work well together in the group exercises because there was a conscious decision to work together and demonstrate our ability to effectively work in a group environment.

Anyone hear back from adcom on R2 admissions (Apr 1 deadline)?

Nop, none here. But I seem to remember reading they sent interview invites between 3 and 6 weeks after the deadline.

Hi guys, I applied on 1st April as well. Anybody got a call from IMD? I was reading through last years blog and found that people got calls on 15th April for the same deadline. Now that has made me edgy. Do post if anyone of you does get a call. thanks

Hi there,

I applied Round 1, I made the assessment day the 3rd of April, and I am currently waitlisted (as many others).

I am one of the Frenchies (btw : hi Viktor !)

I really hope to be offered a place, but for the moment I don't think I can do anything more than waiting...

The rate of waitlisted applicants seems to be higher than the previous years, don't you think ?

It's funny, but I've noticed that admissions in IMD have become a lot about nationalities. I think it's inevitable that it has become so because of the 90 select people that they want to accept.

Well, I am wondering if somebody has the latest stats of Nationalities accepted, dinged, put on hold, in play for IMD. Personally I'd be keen to know if any Pakistanis have applied or gotten accepted?

Hi, guys!
One question for those who is applying in the second round.
Has anyone got any feedback from the Admissions Office?

I haven't

None applied in the 1st round. So, if your profile is good, be prepared for an assessment day.

hi everyone, any updates from
1. those who have been wait-listed, and
2. those who have applied in 2nd round and have started becoming impatient:)

I've applied for April 1 Round.

Hi all,
I received the call from IMD: I'm invited to the interview, probably on the 11th :D :D
That made my day!

PS : I am an applicant of the April 1st round
