Wiatlister of INSEAD need suggestion on reapplying

Question

I am waitlisted by INSEAD for 2010 Jan Intake and was just rejected two weeks ago.

I am considering reapplying but INSEAD's policy disencourage that action and email of school also discourage that.

Is anyone familiar with that? Have any cents on reapplicant for INSEAD?

Thanks

INSEAD does say they don't like reapp EXCEPT for Waitlisted. Being waitlist, you should be in a better position for acceptance next year.

Really? It sounds a good message for me!

I am designing the reapplication essay. Actually, I transfer from engineer to consulting area and had tons of stories to write.

However, where do you get insights on "they don't like reapply except for waitlist?"

Thanks

I ask that question because I got the following information with the ding letter:
"Please note that we do not generally encourage reapplications from waitlisted candidates to whom we were not able to offer a place on the programme. This is because the Admissions Committee has already made a very in-depth evaluation of your file. Reapplications are rarely successful unless there is a significant change in the candidate’s profile (at the applicant's own discretion), such as new personal/professional achievements. However, please bear in mind the competition at INSEAD is fierce. Even re-applicants that demonstrate significant changes will not necessarily be admitted."

Thus, I don't know school's attitude.......

It was in an interview, you can look it up online. I think it was also mentioned in the LA info session when they were talking about reapplicants.

At the info. session we were told that INSEAD discourages re-applications because people were re-applying with essentially the same profile. However, it considers those who have improved. So, if your profile has improved significantly, I think you should re-apply.
