Any Indian applicant with INSEAD interview invite- R1 Jan'22 intake? [#permalink] New post   11 Apr 2021, 21:53
Hi INSEAD applicants,
I am an Indian female candidate planning to apply in R2 for Jan'22 intake. My admissions consultant said all of her Indian clients got rejected in R1, most likely because of deferrals. I am now wondering if I should apply in R2 or wait till next year.

Hey,
I applied for the R1 deadline, and got a reject too. More than deferals, I think the number of applicants has gone up and the class size is smaller. The combination of these two makes it more competitive. Having said that, a general trend I noticed was the high value placed on international work experience.

Personal opinion: R1 is the best time for Indians to apply to any school let alone INSEAD.

Hope this helps :)

I am an Indian that received an invite. Although, I am not exactly sure, how location is determined. Also not all invites/admits are reported so the stats are not accurate. Additionally the on paper profile is only part of the application. There are 8 essays and each recommender has to write 6/7 short essays about you. They don’t just want to see if you get high scores. Personally just scores wise , my profile isn’t half as good as 95% of the Indian applicants

Thanks everyone for your responses. Wish you all the best in your other applications.
I do have a year of international work experience - I hope that's enough :( I have decided to submit my application in this round. So fingers crossed!
