Got an invite just now. Indian based in the UK.

got an invite to interview.. they seem to like cutting it really close

however no interview date or interviewer has been assigned. is this normal?

Yes, same for me, no interview date or interviewer, the email says they will select an Alumni interviewer and then send us details

Guys do you reply to this email with a thank you note? I am not sure!

Got an interview invite yesterday .
Based out of India.

Got invite!

what do you guys reckon is the conversion rate from invite to admit for insead? i heard on the grapevine that it is rather high (>75%) but just wanted to check if that is indeed the case

was thinking the same but seeing as they thanked us multiple times for our patience in their email i presume tey dont want to be disturbed...

Got an Interview too!! my co-ord is SH.

Hi,

I am a Sep'13 applicant. However, I may be able to submit my application only at the last moment of the deadline. I am still in my essay editing stage! Have heard that you should apply either in R1 or atleast 2 weeks before R2 deadline. Any suggestions/clarifications on the same?

Much thanks in advance.

As per my research, the proportion of admitted to applied is the same for R1 and R2. I haven't heard of applying 2 weeks before R2 deadline thing - I would not think it to be that way, as INSEAD doesn't have a rolling admission process, hence all applications before R2 should be treated in an similar manner (immaterial of the date of submission).

Having said that, my views are totally based on my research and hence please do not take my word for it.

Thanks for the instant response! Do you know if all the interview calls posted above are of R1 or R2 applicants? I guess that would pretty much give us an answer.
