What are the chances of waitlist conversion? Realistically it actually converts or it just is a safekeeping for the school?

Congratulations to everyone selected! Any idea guys on how soon we can hear from INSEAD on R2 applications shortlist?

I heard about 1 week before the interview deadline date so maybe this gives some context

What are the chances of waitlist conversion? Realistically it actually converts or it just is a safekeeping for the school?

Hi Nanana123,

the short answer is that many people on the waitlist do convert.

INSEAD usually builds a large waitlist in R1 and R2, and waitlisted applicants usually start getting admit calls towards the end of R3 and R4. So, it could be a long ride. But I have also seen applicants being accepted only a week after being waitlisted. Unfortunately, in the case of INSEAD, the waitlist is like a black box; from the outside, decisions could look random.

For example, many applicants, to improve their chances of converting, retake the GMAT, attend as many INSEAD events as they can, get in touch with clubs... and nothing happens to them. While some other people do nothing and get the admit call. So, again, a black box.

But, when waitlisted, the rule of thumb is to contact your AO once a month or so, at least to show your continuous interest in INSEAD. You can also update her about any improvements in your profile, e.g. a promotion at work, new GMAT score...

In my experience, most of my clients (if not all) who were waitlisted and didn't accept offers from other schools eventually received the admit call. All it took was patience. I know it's easier said than done, though.

I hope this helps.

Warm regards
Alex

Shrirupa, Not yet.

Did you receive any communication after the initial email where it was confirmed that your application was received and that video assessment needs to be completed?

Hi Atul071994,

some invites might be sent this week but, given the Dec 8th notification deadline, most of them will probably be sent from next week onwards.

Thanks Alex. Silly question but do they send out emails for rejects as well?

Nope, that was the last email

Hi SV1507,

yes, rejections are also informed via email. And they tend to be sent closer to the notification date.

In case it helps, we have put together a flow diagram of the INSEAD MBA Application process so that it is easy to see the main milestones and their timing. It also states how each notification is made. Please, see below.

It can also be downloaded in PDF from our website. Here is the link.
