To all the applicants who did not get invited for interview, INSEAD has a strong criterion about international exposure, and orientation which includes cultural sensitivity, adaptability, ability to work in global teams. Their other criteria are self awareness, career intentionality and career progress. Many applicants don’t show relevant experience related to these, but chances for interview increase if you address them through your applications. If you did not get an interview invite and want to figure out what could have done wrong, send me your applications at contact@mbadecoder.com , and I will give you feedback (no hidden costs or solicitation). It can help you build stronger applications for other European MBA programs. Namita Garg http://www.mbadecoder.com
