Calling all Applicants: INSEAD January 2021 Intake !

Hi

I am a female and my first interview was with a male alumni. The interview was friendly and relaxed but professional, he had read my whole application and had a list of around 15 questions. The interview lasted for 70 minutes. He asked:

-about all of my transitions in my resume
-why business from engineering?
-why insead? which campus?
-what is your day to day job?
-how do you differentiate your service from your competitor at your current company?
-how do you segment your customers?
-asked about my post mba goal
-what schools did you apply to and why?
-in a team setting what is your tendency? e.g. a leader, follower, etc
-if you dont get admitted what would you do this year?
-why do you want to leave your company given your current position? Why your manager would let you go?

At the end I asked him a few questions and when I was done he mentioned that he would recommend me to the Adcom but that would be only his feedback and doesn't guarantee my admission.

My second interview was with a female alumni, extremely casual, fun, and friendly. She only asked me one question and that was: tell me about yourself. While I was talking about my post mba goal and my extracurricular activities, we connected in one subject and the rest of the interview was about that subject. She wasn't even taking notes and it felt like a friendly chat. I truly enjoyed that conversation, I had a chance to ask all of my questions about insead, the culture and everything. This one took about 45 minutes.

The second interview was very eye opening bc I met a person who had the same goals and aspirations and mine and had achieved all of her goals after MBA.

Now I just have to wait and see what the outcome is. Fingers crossed and good luck to everyone else.
