INSEAD January 2020 Intake: Waitlist Thread [#permalink] New post   Updated on: 08 Aug 2019, 22:20
I received today the waitlist email from INSEAD - I applied on R2. Anyone else in the same situation?
What interactions with adcom are you planning to do, if any?

Hello,

I'm starting this discussion for all waitlisted candidates for Jan'20 intake at INSEAD. Unlike previous intakes, I realized that there isn't a forum yet for the Jan'20 intake.

I'd encourage you to please share any updates, news, ideas, thoughts regarding the Waitlist so that all of us can benefit and keep track of the updates.

Good luck to everyone!

I’ve been waitlisted on 2nd round. Did any of you had additional interactions with adcom or are planning doing any moves?

Would recommend that you retake the GMAT to get at least a 680; the average GMAT is 715 and so strive to achieve parity there. Brazilians are not quite in the same pickle as Asians and Indians but they apply in large numbers. What is your TOEFL, if lower than 105 definitely retake. Check out my article on this topic

https://mbaessaycoaching.com/2019/02/06/waitlisted/

and think about where you land on each of the 4 INSEAD criteria: academics/GMAT, leadership, contribution, and international orientation. This will guide your actions and ideas for the update letter.

Hi,

Does anybody know when they will start announcing who got off the waitlist? (I was waitlisted in R2)

Thank you

No idea. Also, so far I have not heard that anyone has gotten off the waitlist for Jan'20 batch. I'm waitlisted since R1.

There is not enough data available from the last year. I see an applicant who got waitlisted in R1 got his decision on October 1st. I also see another applicant who got waitlisted in R3 got his/her decision in the first week of December.

Hello folk! I hope you don't mind me sharing, but I thought you guys might want to know.

I got admitted in R3 and the deadline for the first installment/ reservation fee is September 6. I'd suppose you might get updates after that?

I hope so. Judging from the activity in the forums, there has been no movement on the Waitlist this year. No one has posted any update of successfully getting off the Waitlist until now.

On a related note, are you guys keeping regular contact with you AO regarding the Waitlist status?

Nothing here. Actually, I haven't even heard whether anyone has made off the waitlist for Jan'20 intake thus far. Been on waitlist since R1.

No response here either. Today is the day for announcement of R4 admits. I guess if we don't hear by today, that's pretty much it.

Not so sure...

As I haven't heard about any movements on the waitlist so far, I am thinking that maybe INSEAD first wanted to finish with accepting from all rounds and only after to review the waitlist..

Just speculating..
