INSEAD admits finance and campus life discussion

stringscn

hehe, all the efforts will be paid off sooner or later! 

I do believe that every applicant has his/her logics behind the schools he/she chooses, and compare the pros and cons of the schools from time to time.   But interestingly, the final decision is made on impluse, from time to time, or purely based on some subtle emotional feelings, such as the warmth/responsive/coolness of the alumni, the interaction with the schools, etc, esp. when there are comparable offers on hands.

I perfer INSEAD because it's an one-year program since I've been working for quite a while and get lots of on-the-job trainings; because it's in Europe, more business opportunities and intriguing culture, esp. after I work and travel extensively in the states for sometime.    INSEAD is a very competitive school for those people choosing to become a consultant, and not so good for those longing financial service -- but there's still chances, and no schools will ensure you 100% to land on your ideal jobs.

Dear lady, received your mail. I feel pretty lucky to meet with a couple of kind INSEAD admits. I wonder whether kindness and helpfulness are among the criteria of INSEAD admission

Now I have to invest more time on my proficiency of English and expression skills.I hope to articulate in the possible interview,which actually is my last chance in this application season.

Although working abroad for a long time, I didn't feel improving much in my oral English, since mostly I worked in non-English speaking countries and most of our clients didn't or speak poorly English.A big difference from your guys, from US, singapore or foreign invested companies in China.

But that doesn't justify an excuse, I am working hard now to make a change.

inseadsh

Sino, easy lah. I am sure you have big chance to be with us in INSEAD. You've been doing good.

Also,stingscn, you are 08 Jul intake as well? Which campus are you going? Fonty?

I am now reading tons of materials the school sent to the admits and preparing essays for scholarship... Really time-consuming, haha.

sinocheetah

stringcn should be Jul07 intake Did she defer entry?

It seems very few from Chinese Mainland apply Jan 08 round...

Feel a bit depressed along these days. Next week I will take a business trip to Viet Nam,and I hope this travel can make me revive.

inseadsh

Vietnam? time to see some tanned MM... Lucky you, haha.

sinocheetah

Hi!Man, Vietnese is not tanned that much, not worse than Guangxi girls They are of the same race of us Chinese. Viet Nam was ever one part of our empire till Song Dynasty. They are our close relatives, closer than Korean people.

Cheetah, that's wonderful!  We're waiting for your photos then.

Inseadsh, I'm heading for Fontainebleau this Aug , and I haven't begun a single page of the reading -- I plan to do all those reading in June and July.  

And what about the 3rd language?  Are you planning to take some lessons before school?       The course in Fonty is expensive, EUR 495 * 3 periods for the basic level, I'm definitely going to pick up some French in June when I'm back Shanghai.

inseadsh

Hey string, totally agree. Maybe we can go together.Haha.

Where are you getting the visa? from Sh or anywhere else? 

stringscn

I'm going to get VISA at Shanghai.   Still worried about all the processes, since I might not be able to be back China till Mid-June...

Anybody got paper mail?

I suppose we should receive some materials from INSEAD at some stage, right?
