Both interviews done! Any idea when INSEAD starts releasing decisions? I assume it's somewhat of a rolling basis leading up to the official date in early Nov?

Got Hungarian and Indian based in Amsterdam because I told my AO I’m currently in NL. I’m Filipino and my mailing address in the application is in the Philippines.

Hello applicants,

I am an INSEAD alum who graduated in July 2021 (Class of 21J). I got accepted in round 2 (730 GMAT - Tech background - woman - 4 years of experience), with a scholarship of EUR50k, and am starting work next year (January 2022) at McKinsey & Company as an Associate.

As I have some free time now, I would like to offer a consultancy service for prospective candidates who would like to get into INSEAD. Essentially, I will edit and critique your personal statement/essays and CV for INSEAD. Please reach out for rates - as I only do this short-term, plus I can't recommend my time at INSEAD enough - I will offer very competitive rates compared to other consultancy services.

Thanks!

I think in the week preceding the 12th, so from like the 8th onwards.

Hey, everyone! How are you?

My recommender received the e-mail from INSEAD and he said there are 5 questions to answer, but he doesn't know the min/max and average size for the answer. Do you know the recommended size for each question for recommenders? Thank you!

I think there intentionally isn't one, but if all other letters of recommendation for M7 etc are to go by the documents tend to be roughly 1000 words. So I would ballpark roughly 200 words for each.

Hi everyone,

Is there a specific template for the INSEAD CV? (The form does not have any template but I thought I should double-check)

No template. Limit it to one page (versus 2)

Hi all, has the Kira deadlines changed..? I’ve read previously that they need to be completed up to 48 hrs after the application deadline, but I see the new phrasing states: "Please complete your video interviews at your earliest convenience and by the deadline to which you are applying". As I am rushing a bit to finish it would be great to know what the reality is.

I submitted my application 4 days before the R1 deadline then received an email from my AO that I need to complete the video interview by EOD deadline day. I guess if you submit your app on deadline day you will be given additional days as you will only get access to the video portal after submission.

Hello all - I have just submitted my INSEAD Application for R2 (22 Oct). Prepping myself for the video interviews now.

Australian/New Zealand | 29M | GMAT 710 | Civil Engineer.

Good luck and excited to be on this journey with you all!

P.S. Is there a Whas app or similar group for R2 Applicants? Thinking of starting one if there isn't - please indicate interest by replying.

I’ve just submitted my application today and received the link for the video assessment. It doesn’t mention a specific deadline but to submit by the deadline of the round you’re applying to. I think you should consider this to be true and not risk it. As for the 48hrs thing, your referees can submit the LORs 48hrs after the round deadline. So just submit your application and complete video assessment before round deadline. You can take time for the LORs.
This is just my suggestion.

Hi everyone!

I have a question about the "Activities and Interests" section in the application portal. I am supposed to enter an end date for each activity, even though some activities might still be ongoing/present. Did you experience the same issue, and if so - how did you handle this?

Appreciate any input on this. Thanks in advance!

Hi all. I have completed my entire application, the deadline for my round is Nov2. I wanted to know how long does it usually take for the admissions committee to roll out interview invites and overall how long does the entire admission decision process take? Thanks!
