Hi Round1 Folks!

I applied in Round 2. For those who received an interview, did you guys receive an interview notification on or before the Interview decision notification date? For Round 1, the interview notification date was 11 April 2012.

Thank you!

I have been waitlist for the 2013 Jan intake too. I am not sure when and how does the process for waitlisted candidates at Insead works. I haev written to the admissions committee for more details.

Does anyone has an idea
- How many candidates are waitlisted
- How does the waitlist move
- What is the review mechanism\ process to evaluate the profiles of waitlisted candidates
- When would the final decision on the waitlisted candidates given

Cheers
Insead aspirant!

I was waitlisted last year in the 2nd round, and I got my final decision about unavailability of places in mid December. Nobody knows how many candidates are waitlisted every year because the school doesn't disclose the admission figures. Waitlisted candidates can be offered a place any time before January, and probably the main criteria is maintaining the diversity of a class. You can withdraw yourself from the waitlist any time and apply for the next round/year. If you apply within 6 months of your previous application, you don't need to resubmit your application form, only an extra essay explaining your reasons for reapplication. After the 6-month-period elapces, an applicant is supposed to submit the full list of documents.

If you need any further info, feel free to contact me.

Are we expecting a notice on Admiral Scholarship within this week? According to insead's official scholarship info page, "Notification on the decision based on merit: successful candidates will receive the notification on the award approximately one week after admission. "
I wonder if it means this Friday?

Congratulations for those accepted. I applied for Round 2, I still have to wait long before knowing anything.
Can anyone check MBA Connect and please tell me the number of accepted candidates for South Europe (Portugal, Spain and Italy)?
Thank you!

Hi guys,

I'm a R1 admit, based in and starting in Singapore. I'd like to maintain some confidentiality over this for now and so would rather not join the facebook group just yet. All the same, it would be great to start meeting fellow admits to get to know each other. All the more if you are a rockclimber (even if you'd like an introduction to the sport) it would be great to have someone to climb with throughout the semester. PM me to get in touch.

All R2's and R3's, good luck and keep on working on your preparations!

Sorry guys have been away from GC forum over last few days and hence could not answer to posts :-( . Congrats to all R1 admits

For all appearing for R2 &/or R3, good luck and please don't hesitate to contact us R1 admits for any info. I received very positive support from INSEAD current students and alumni during my admission process and would like to pass it on if any1 is interested and has questions (I had many)

Cheers and Best of Luck
Deepak

Deepak and others from R1 ... I think an answer to Geography's question would be of immense help to us in R2. Thanks in advance for any insight! Here's Geography's question:

"Hi Round1 Folks!

I applied in Round 2. For those who received an interview, did you guys receive an interview notification on or before the Interview decision notification date? For Round 1, the interview notification date was 11 April 2012.

Thank you!"

Gloriana,

Interview decision notification date for R1 was 18th May 2012 and timing for receiving interview invite varies from person to person. I am based in Europe and hence I received my interview invite on 14th May which was 4 days before deadline while couple of my friends based in India received on the deadline day (same holds true for final decision).

Understand its a stressful time but its one of those points which does not have a logical flow/answer. Hope it helps

Deadlines for January 2013 Intake (Class of December 2013)

Deadline for complete application* Interview decision notification Final decision notification
1st Round 11 April 2012 18 May 2012 29 June 2012
2nd Round 20 June 2012 27 July 2012 7 September 2012
3rd Round 16 August 2012 14 September 2012 26 October 2012

That's very helpful. I suppose the hope was that, if you turned in a strong application very early on in the Round, you'd hear about interviews sooner than those who waited until the Round deadline.

Another question: Do you or anyone you know who has been admitted have concerns about INSEAD in light of the growing economic crisis there and the election of the Socialists---particularly, in terms of business opportunities and the business climate in France and elsewhere in Europe?

Based on input from current students alot of factors can cause delay in decision (interview or admit) as your profile readers are admission officers who may be travelling or unavailable because of private or work related reasons (btw I submitted my application on 11th April i.e. last day of deadline).

On your second question, Europe in general is not doing good (known fact) and job opportunities are scarce compared to Latin America, Asia and Africa (growing trio). Nonetheless, INSEAD is a top school and most of graduates fly out to different locations(Asia, UK, Europe & US) for jobs/career growth given its brand name (important criterion). I don't think socialist government will have noticeable impact on INSEAD candidates job prospects given Europe's already strict visa norms but if you can clear interviews, companies will always manage to get visa for you. I work for a top multinational and they manage to get my visa despite all odds in Belgium

In nutshell, if you have the right skillset and talent, INSEAD MBA can only open more doors for you across globe even in crisis ridden Europe ;-)

P.S. I am not an expert and also learning during the process, but above is my 2 cents based on my live European experience
