Hey guys can anyone provide some guidance with regards to which round would be more better to apply in, between round 3 for September' 2013 intake or round 1 for Jan' 2014 intake?
The only consideration being success probability
(I understand and an aware about the differences in terms of option of internship being there in Jan and not there in Sep rounds)
I attended an information session at INSEAD singapore recently. This question was asked and response was "there is absolutely no differnece in round 1 or round 3 at INSEAD unlike US colleges". You've exactly same chance of success in any round at INSEAD.
I disagree a bit with this point of view.
Overall there is no difference. That is, the acceptance rate is the same across rounds. I agree with this and Insead is being 100% honest about it.
But this does not mean, that every candidate has the same chances in every round. In R3, Insead will make sure that a number of candidates are accepted so that the acceptance rate is constant, but those accepted will be chosen according to how they will complement those admitted in R1 and R2.
