Hi everyone,
I just heard the news that I am waitlisted as well. I am an R3 applicant.

Does anyone know the chances to be accepted when waitlisted? I guess it is harder to be accepted once waitlisted when you are an R3 applicant no?
I am not an active user of these forums but I really really want to go to INSEAD and would appreciate your insights.
Is there anything to do: contact my interviewers? Go to Fonty to demonstrate motivation?
THOSE WHO GOT ACCEPTED AFTER BEING WAITLISTED, What would you recommend to do?
i was R2 waitlist who accepted, so want to share what i know. here is what you can do
1/ send update email to AC, try to figure area that your career has significantly progressed since your application. take your time to draft, dont rush it through.
2/ told your interviewer you got waitlisted and try to get feedback from them. this is very imp as they may tell you (although indirectly) the weakness in your application/interview. try to address those areas by getting a new third recommendations to AC
Re: frenchuk
i am sure not everyone waitlisted, and i did see quite a few got dinged straight away.
also, my experience is, there is no specific time when AC will get back to you on the decision. i heard from them by phone in just two weeks (exactly 14 days)
good for you guys and hope to see you in campus.
