Congrats and good luck for your interviews!

So, It is yet again another THURSDAY!!!! :) anxiety increasing by the day!!


robisrojis
Got my pre-selection for the interviews today, and the details off the interviewers as well. This is really fascinating, I'm really excited to do these interviews!

Good luck to all other participants!

So just to prepare myself for the worst case - if someone is dinged, do they also get the mail? Or its just a wait till the last day and then shrug off..?

SH is on vacation till 15th and hence my hopes are not yet down.. :)

Every applicant gets either an email or call (sometimes both). It really does not matter if one of the coordinators is on vacation - someone usually covers for them. :)

i haven't heard from JS yet..

do you know if Hong Kong is considered in a separate HK pool or China pool.

i also have dual citizenship in UK, so was thinking which nationality i should use



Me neither. Anyone else heard from JS?

Any Singaporean applicants for R3?

Do any of you happen to have access to MBA Connect? If so, could you please share the number of Singaporean admits for D14? Thanks a lot.

Hey Guys, Thanks for your advice. I will be giving the GMAT again. Regarding my GPA, I did undergrad from an Indian univ, got 72% (top 25% in class).

All the best to everyone!

Hey Guys,

Had been trolling these pages for sometime. Congratulations to those accepted & best wishes to those applied for R2.

Given the discussion on GMAT scores (specially given im an Indian applicant), needed your opinions on my situation.

First my profile, Indian/Male/31, Mumbai (grew up in Saudi Arabia), above average-ish Acads, total Work-ex 7yrs mainly in international credit research (3.5 yrs in Global rating agency, 2yrs+ in bulge bracket FI; 1 yr prop equity trading in Saudi).

My problem is my GMAT scores:
Attempt 1: 660, Q46 V35.
Attempt 2: 640, Q37 V41

My heart was really set on applying for R3 Jan'14 (until I saw my score) & i wont be able to give the GMAT again before the deadline. Would it be foolish to waste my one shot with Insead with low GMAT scores & in R3? Would the fact that i have already got 70%tile in Quants in my earlier attempt help me out. Or should i just try for a better/balanced score then apply? Not looking forward to delaying my application.

Appreciate your two cents on this. Thanks in advance.

My recommendation is to retake GMAT. Your business background implies that you should a have high GMAT score. You already had nice scores in Q and V, so prepare and do it in one shot to get above 700.

With this you'll only become on pair with the rest of the applicant pool. to stand out, you should ace your essays

His break down is nice too. If you can get 49++ on the Q, you should be okay on GMAT, what is your GPA
