Hi all,

I'm a 30 years old french guy
GMAT 680
Working as supply chain engineer in agribusiness with experience in FMCG and pharma industry
6 years of experience
Accepted at Said, HEC Paris and waiting for IMD

I have been waitlisted at INSEAD after having applied in R2, got my decision by email on Jan 10th.
I would like to send an additionnal essay focusing more on how I fit with the school, plus let them know that I got a promotion at work in the meantime to try to get off the waitlist.

Do you know when the deposits are due to be paid for R2 admits? In order to know when to send this update, as I guess some movements will happen then.
And as I have to answer to HEC beg. of March, I will need to take a decision then.

Thanks

Hi, thanks for your message.
No I didn't, but if we consider that it's exactly one month after they gave the admit decision, then it should be some time this week.

Are you in the same situation?

Hi guys,

When you are shortlisted, this happens after the interviews or you even don't do the interviews?

Hi mateusorsini94,

I guess you mean waitlisted, right? Applicants are placed on the waitlist after being interviewed.

Warm regards

I see. Do you think the COVID 19 will end up delaying waitlist movements? As we know the school dean also caught the virus. Such an unfortunate news.
