Anyone who applied in R2 got an interview invite? Last day of interview notifications is 20th May.

For Round 2, ClearAdmit shows two rejected applicants, and we've had one on this forum. Today's a national holiday in France so I think notifications will start pouring in tomorrow!

CORRECTION OMG WE COULD HEAR BACK TODAY AND I JUST DIED INSIDE

From a blog: INSEAD are somewhat notorious for not observing public holidays either in France or Singapore so you can imagine my surprise when I found out that we were going to have 2 full days off for Chinese New Year here on the Singapore campus (not in Fonty though).

No - you can't get that number anywhere buuuut admitted students can tell you how many admits there are (and their nationalities). Afaik, there are ~110 admits from Round 1

I am not sure if that only applies to students and some staff though. The admissions committee must want this long weekend - who doesn't :-D

babushka84 made me do some digging - haha

As per wikipedia "Public holidays in France": "In 2005, French prime minister Jean-Pierre Raffarin removed Whit Monday's status as a public holiday. The decision was eventually overruled by French courts in 2008[citation needed]. Employers are free to decide whether to make Whit Monday a day off or not"

It's still Sunday here in Calgary. - deep breath and release -

Grades are only a part of your application. I wouldn't read much into it.

Started on Jan 6 in 2015, Jan 7 this year. According to blogs I've read, most of them reached Fonty about a week earlier (unless taking the Business Foundations course). If I get in, I'll aim for a month in advance because I have a thing for spending the holiday season in Paris...
