Current INSEAD students taking questions

sinocheetah

Many thanks! Dalianmao We Chinese INSEAD MBA students had a gathering tonight. P3 guys revealed many secret sauces on how to survive the crueling P1-P2. We met many interesting guys as well.

A challenging week is coming. We'll start the engine from now on.

hi guys, I want to ask one question: what matters most in the application for Insead? thanks.

I have a master degree from a reputable uni in UK, and roughly 5 years experience mainly in real estate.

Did 3rd round application get leaner possibility to be admitted compared with those of 1st and 2nd round?

I suggest you apply as early as possible. The later, the slimer your chance to get scholarship.

INSEAD evaluates your application on a comprehensive basis.Basically ur int'l exposure, career exp.,academic records...matters the most.

Agree with sino. The last two rounds got less vacancies, especially the 4th round. Plus no scholarship opportunity for 4th round.

As to the question of what matters the most, indeed you have to present a well-balanced profile with the three areas mentioned above. While academic records can be directly reflected from your GMAT and GPA, essays can be a good place to integrate all your international exposures and career successes. Besides, essays is the best place (before the interview) to show your maturity and uniqueness. So, do put enough work in it!

Hi insider, I have some questions on interview, could u pls help me on that?

1. Do I need to send the whole application pdf file to the interviewer? I know that school just asks to send the first 7 pages. What is the advantage or disadvantage to send the whole application file?

2. If I just want to send out selected pdf file, how could I remove the rest page? Use some pdf edit tools? If it is, could you recommand any tools?

Thanks

INSEAD asks "Can we contact your current employer?". How if I select "No"? Will it affect my application?

Thank you.

1, you can if you like, the reason for sending "first 7 pages" is that you don't need to disclose your salaries if you feel privacy
