Am I correct that MBA Connect reflects admitted students but not necessarily those enrolling? Or is it unlikely that someone would bother signing up for it if they probably were going elsewhere?
My obvious concern is that the yield this year might be higher than in the past due to the #1 ranking and certain people obsessing over that.
My 2 cents.
INSEAD gives all admitted students access to MBA Connect. So, these are the people who have been admitted and who have registered and logged into the system. I am sure many of the students there would not end up enrolling in the programme i.e, the yield would definitely be less than 100%. What role the FT ranking would play is anyone's guess. However, I doubt most will make their decisions based on that one factor. I read somewhere that the yield is around 75%. (in poets&quants, I think)
Also, even if someone is going elsewhere, they might register just to check the portal out. I signed up for the IESE portal when I was admitted there.
