Well you can drop her a note but she would have a standard response. If we don't hear anything by 4:30 pm CET tonight then I am assuming it would go like round 1 where Indians got updates by 19th when deadline was 21st.

Don't do it. It's not like they only haven't sent you a result then there is reason to mail. All Indian applicants haven't gotten an update as far as we know. They're doing their work and they are required to let us know only by the 13th of January. So I would suggest we all cross our fingers, hold our breaths and pray till then.

Hi All,

Just got my interview invite, I was really nervous since my IELTS score hadn’t arrived and the people from there were really inefficient sending them physically (better to do TOEFL)

Background:

Nationality: Colombian
GMAT: 710
Double Bachelors Economist and Business
Masters in Finance
7 years corporate finance experience in multinationals
AO is EM

Has anyone started looking at the essays for scholarships? Any tips on what to do, is there a place that gives tips or something?

Thanks 

FROM Insead Admissions Blog: Taking the road less traveled to the MBA

Whenever I introduce myself to my fellow classmates here, the most common response I hear is “you were made for INSEAD!” While I’d believed this myself when I was applying, it’s reassuring to hear it from the Admissions Committee when... Continue Reading →

Dear All,
May I ask whether interview invitations really go out as group emails (someone mentioned that in a previous post)? I am so full of positive anticipation, but just saw that people have already received their emails from Jennifer Meunier (my primary contact, too)? So now I am a little bit confused...does anyone know how many AOs there are?
If anyone has insights, please let me know - thanks a lot, really appreciated!

Hi, I think I am the one who mentioned group email.... :shock:

Actually I can not tell based on the one I received, the "group email" thing is my guess. Based on the posts on the forum, I think the invitation come out one by one. Any at this stage, no news may be good news...... So don't lose hope!!! There are still several days to the deadline...

GOOD LUCK WITH GUYS WHO ARE STILL WAITING ! ❤

I have no news about the admission process, but while everyone is waiting, found an interesting article about a Singapore Venture Fund: InseadAlum that has about $700K to invest into a variety of alum-based startups. Not huge but very helpful during the fragile startup phase. https://www.dealstreetasia.com/stories/i ... pus-62375/

It's gonna be like round 1. Round 1 Indian invites came on 19th, two days prior to deadline. So expect something by tomorrow if some quota is left. Also I read on poets and quants that last year there were around 50 Indians in France and Singapore combined. So there is still hope. Keep your fingers crossed and hope for the best.
