Did anyone use a consultant for the interviews and what's your experience like?

Hello! I’m done with my 2nd interview. It’s also casual and conversational, even more than my 1st. Questions revolve around motivations and rationale behind my career and life choices. Also the usual why Insead, why MBA questions.

My AO confirmed yesterday that final decision will be given on the week of November 12 despite completing the interviews early. I guess the downside of receiving the interview invitation early is going through the excruciating final wait much longer. :D Good luck to everyone yet to do their interviews!

I received the scholarship email but I am unable to register in the portal as the websites says "we are not accepting registrations as yet". Is anyone else having this issue?

Hi ahmedmoharam,

AO means Admissions Officer. This is the person in the admissions team in charge of your file.

IR and DC are the initials of two admissions officers: Isabelle Ramos and Denise Chua respectively.

If your question is whether you can submit your application before the November 2nd deadline (Round 2 Aug 2022 Intake) then the answer is yes. You could even submit your application now and it wouldn't make a difference. You'd still be considered a Round 2 applicant.

I hope this helps.

Warm regards
Alex

Thank you for your kind reply.
I am not done with the GMAT yet; that’s why I can’t submit my application.

Hi all, wanted to know if after 9+ years of full time experience would it be okay if you are not in FTE while applying for the MBA? Or would that act as a deterrent for schools like INSEAD and LBS.

Any thoughts / leads in this area would be highly appreciated

I’m not in FTE since 2016. Got invited for interview. Though I am not yet admitted, it shows that INSEAD is okay with this as long as you’re able to show meaningful/impactful endeavors during those times you are not in FTE.
