Hey all,
I'm in a massive dilemma as I've been waitlisted at my first choice school, INSEAD (Aug 2024 intake), while subsequently being offered seats at IMD and IE (Jan 2024 intake).
While I've accepted the waitlist offer at INSEAD, I do need to make a decision on the IMD and IE offers within the next week.
I'm an Indian female with lots of international experience (lived in 5 countries and attended international schools throughout). I've got 8 years of work experience in marketing, with the past 5 years in emerging tech startups across fintech, crypto, and blockchain.
Post-MBA, I'd like to work for a big tech company, preferably in product management. My long-term goal is to become an entrepreneur or a senior tech leader.
My logic in applying to these schools (and intakes) was to have the option to start sooner if I didn't get into INSEAD, however, the waitlist offer has definitely thrown a spanner in the works.
I'd appreciate it if anyone could share their perspective on whether it makes sense to wait it out for INSEAD or accept one of the two offers I have in hand!
Thank you in advance.

achloes - congrats on the offers, a good (yet difficult) dilemma to have.
Perhaps you have already, but did you inform INSEAD about your other offers (i.e. your current situation/ timelines), and request them for a decision soon?

admitStreet I did - unfortunately, I was made the waitlist offer after I shared the updates from IMD and IE!
The only potential drawback after IMD could be the relatively limited brand recognition in certain regions, but this becomes less critical after the first few years.
