IMD 2014 - Calling All Applicants

I interviewed on March 19th, and I was thrilled to get a call from Lisa last Thursday with an invitation to join the 2014 class!

I know the people that interviewed on March 5th have also received the decision, and I reckon that the same applies for the group that had their assessment day on the 15th.

Good luck to all of you still in the process, the waits are brutal!

Cheers!

Congrats Rodrigo!!

Thanks!

The group that interviewed on the 15th also heard on Thursday. We have a number of admits too - it is decision time now.

Good luck to those in the upcoming rounds!

ydm, can you post the number of admits along with nationalities, in case you already received access to IMD intranet. Thanks.

I don't have access to it yet. Maybe they send that after one pays the deposit : )

hi all,
i attended the assessment on the 26th and it was a great experience. we were seven of us, and it helped to catch up a day before. the nationalities of each were lebanese, german (dual nationality, also french), 2 americans and 3 indians (!!). the people from india, including me were obviously nervous about the representation but IMD did clarify that it doesnt happen usually.
The day was interesting and started off with an impromptu case study followed by personal interviews. we later were each paired with a current student at IMD for lunch, where we could speak at length on any concerns, perspectives. The lunch at IMD is awesome, i realized and i now understand why its such a talking point at all forums.

Afternoon session was another case study with an IMD professor who moderated the discussion. unique and a good way of judging the suitability of the candidates to the program. it was a great experience and worth the time irrespective of the outcome.

we've had 3 dings in the team, and 1 offer. the other 3 (including me) are still waiting for the final result with bated breath!

on a IIel note, i think this forum needs a shakeup. Can people who have attended the interview speak about their experiences as well (ppl who attended, process, dings/offers)? im sure other prospective students can only benefit!

Congrats ydm and rodrigo! are you guys planning to accept?

Thanks! Yes, I will accept the offer, however I still haven't paid the deposit. They give you two weeks to accept or reject the offer and then an extra week to make the intial payment.

From what I was told we will only be given access to the portal around mid-May, so until then it will be hard to say exactly how many people have accepted the offer.

Cheers!

Well, I think there is not much to add to the activities of the assessment day themselves that hasn't already been mentioned. I would highlight the fact that there are a lot of group activities, so for our group it definitely helped to meet for dinner the night before. When we arrived the next day we already knew each other and were much more confortable working together. I know that it has been said before and that it will sound cliche, but just be yourself, and don't think of the other people interviewing with you as competition.

Cheers,

ydm, rodrigoj congrats on your acceptance and thanks for the response

Thanks vvv, after many hours of deliberation, I have also decided to accept IMD's offer.

I see you are also admitted to LBS. Can I ask Why you chose IMD over LBS?

Way to go mate...congrats

Hello All


I'm a bit late to join the party. Congrats to all who already made it to the 2014 program and good luck to all who intend to apply in further rounds. I applied for round 2 on April 1st, now anxiously waiting for that one phone call . About my background, I'm an Indian working in the US in IT/Operations/Strategy Consulting domain.

Guys,

A very basic question from my recommenders. How does recommender save a pdf copy of recommendation letter. Unlike online, we dont have a link of "pdf" whereby one can save it. Pls advise.

Thanks,
Neeraj

Anybody heard from IMD yet on R2 interviews?
