INSEAD admits finance and campus life discussion

Hi, all INSEAD admits,

May i call a topic here for us to discuss how to finance our study and how to get familiar with INSEAD campus life in F and S?

At the end, I dont think many people can pay cash without asking for loans here. Also, what about the scholarship? Do we have to apply？(My gut feelings says yes...)

Inputs please!

We need to apply for Scholarship. Might be easy for Chinese, but i'm holding other passport, sigh.

We can try to get loan from HSBC, but i was told that for Chinese it is (virtually, kind of) impossible.

Search the forum. i had a thread talking about this topic.

I can pay in full cash, but don't know whether it becomes a convincing factor for INSEAD admission.If I get in, I will be eligible to apply Alcatel Scholarship.

Just kidding

nnm, you're not Chinese? or you're Chinese with other country's passport?

You have any idea how to apply for scholarships and loans?

I am Chinese, holding other country's passport.

I myself still working on the money issue

May have to pay by savings and family support.

so far, i have no idea about financial aid yet, just running to catch up r2 of Jan. 08

BTW, what is Alcatel Scholarship? and its requirement?

Hmm. I just got a list of scholarships INSEAD has, but I dont think there are many chances for Chinese to get anything...

I have to sell my apartment then, sigh...

hahaha. nnm, you're funny.

So do we have to apply for scholarships? or they just allocate some types of Scholarship randomly?

Please advise, thanks.

Nothing random, mate.

You have to apply for anything you want.
