Ditto and s82107 congratulations I'm super excited for you! Can you share a little bit about your profile, if you took any specific proactive steps to get off the waitlist?

For those of you on the waitlist, take action! retake the GMAT or GRE if it is under the class profile average, step up your international work projects, get a promotion, take on a leadership position in the community.

But at the same time, do you apply to other schools. Your "loyalty" to INSEAD is not going to impact the outcome. It's not like a romantic relationship.

Prepare one solid update letter, don't bug them all the time. One maybe two update letters max and they have to be meaty! not desperate

Of course, make sure to communicate your interest every month. I've seen people get off the waitlist all the way up to the month before the program started, but that said I really want for you to empower yourself with other choices and not rely on anything like that.

I'm very much against the the INSEAD or nothing attitude, you will get a ton out of any top program you attend.

I'd sent update letter once a month, and visited Singapore campus and some alumni there.

I got admitted off the waitlist as well. Excited to start the program beginning Jan!
Is anyone aware of existing whatsapp groups where we can connect with admitted students?

Congrats to all who successfully made it off the waistlist! For those still on, have you heard anything from your AOs. Have waitlist rejections started to go out?

Congrats to all who made it out successfully. To those of you who are still in the wait-list, like me, what do you fancy our chances are at this point, realistically speaking? At what point do you think we should move on?
