hey joyful, nice to meet you here. I also just got into INSEAD jan 09 intake.  Would love to chat with you before school starts.  My msn is utofafrica123(A) hotmail.com">outofafrica123(A) hotmail.com

Congratulations! 

A few sharing on application -

I personally see real uniqueness and cultural fit with Insead. They target very specific applicants and set quantitive criteria at beginning.

1) ibt >105   2) gmat V/Q both > 70%  3) 2 entry language (for Chinese applicant, English+Chinese)

These're mandatory - Adcom will suggest you retake GT if they're interested in you but score is a only barrier.

Alumni interviews are casual and pleasant. My first interviewer is a swiss graduated early 90s and now work in China as a GM. We chat in a fun but transparent and deep way. He directly tells he'll recommend me. The other interviewer is from Singopore, younger and graduated 5y ago. No direct hint but feedback is positive.

After silent for ages, I didn't receive call but a mail 1 day before deadline for acceptance. Hope is always a good thing, maybe the best thing in the world.

A new journey starts in Fonty Jan09.
