here is my take:
1) scholarships
2) loan
3) take some cool free courses online (Udacity, Coursera)
4) quit job end of nov'13
5) get rid off not neded stuff in moscow
6) drinking party
7) exit language requirement, technically I am done, but need to double check with INSEAD
8) contact prospective recruiters to find out their plans on recruiting from singy. may be apply for pre-mba internship (if available)
9) active networking with admits, consider visiting INSEAD for orientation week.

how do the free courses help???
how does one apply for pre-mba internship..is there anythin called pre-mba internship???

I always wanted to try them but had no enough time because of work. Now as I will be gradually reducing my involvement (fingers crossed) I can take them. There are some pretty cool unconventional course in my area of interest. but no particular help for mba. of course, there many standard courses like corp finance, which may help if you are from different background. but I thought insead will be offering something before main program begins

there is no existing standard approach in eastern europe. I just know several people from my prospective employers so it is worth trying to contact them and ask if any opportunities exist.

my list...again in no definite order

-try for loans
-start working on the scholarships
-m leavin my job in oct..start widning that up
-start a facebook group/netwrk with as many admits as possible
-pray/bribe/kick somebody to make the rupee stronger:(
-brush up on my french
-get the third language requirement out of the way
-party..HARD!!!

Doesn't seem like rupee will be stronger in the near term. In fact worse is not over for the rupee yet. This fall is on the possibility of a winding down in US Monetary stimulus. FII have pulled a lot from Indian bonds already. Equity they are still restrained. If US goes ahead with its plan It will choke up capital inflows in emerging markets further triggering liquidation by FIIs

yeah its gonna hit 60 rupees to a dollar soon:(:(
mebbe ..jus mebbe..the US monetary stimulus will not be wound down just yet..Obama needs some good ratings:)

hopefully with a good monsoon and a bumper harvest,the Indian economy will get a much needed fillip

(fingere crossed) i would leave work early and travel. its a rare occasion to have the opportunity to take a break before a new chapter with no worries. If that means sacrificing some pay for more loans, its absolutely worth it.

All right you kiddies, I'm back. I was hoping for an answer by now. Instead I keep getting threatening emails from other MBA programs that want me to send deposit money to secure my place.

The calculus need to work out. Here is couple of line of code for you

If INSEAD = Accepted
Scholarship+ Loan + Savings = # of work days remain
Else

ChickenTikka, welcome back.

some posts ago we discussed if HEC is more generous with scholarships. this is important since prodigy finance does not work with HEC. what's your pov as admitted student?

i would spend time to settle things down. I bet in INSEAD there will be plenty of traveling opportunities. well, may be If I get scholarship, then I would travel to some remote country, for instance India

I'm far too well paid and far too dumb to qualify for any kind of scholarship. I'm paying full boat wherever I go.

What is prodigy finance?

If you visit India look me up. I'll be in Russia climbing Mt. Elbrus in a couple weeks. Maybe I'll venture down to the Ukraine to seek out some devchenki.
