Wow thanks a ton. I just love the spirit of this group to help each other. You guys rock 🎉

Any stats on the % of Indian applicants invited for interviews? (as a total of Indian candidates who applied in a particular round)

hey how was your interview? Any curveballs?

No standard questions only

When will the interview shortlists for R2 be announced?

Guys is it must to follow Insead resume format for the application?

No, in fact, personal opinion, don’t follow it. The resume format Insead provides is based on after-graduating from Insead, highlighting how you did in INSEAD. Whereas if you put education or college, which you did 5-10years ago, as the first thing in your MBA application CV, it makes little sense to me. According to me, Resumes should be in reverse chronological order, i.e. latest first. Your current role shouldn’t be at the bottom or in the middle of the resume. It should be highlighted. Completely personal opinion.

Instead, you can use the "formatting" aspect from INSEAD resume. Colours, Fonts spacing etc. Just my 2 cents

Yes I also though the same. Thanks a ton for confirming

I just want to build on what Ggandhi already said. You don't need to use INSEAD's CV template. In reality, the template is meant to be used by current students so that INSEAD can put together a CV Book that they share with companies.

This is the reason the template has Education first. Since, in resumes, you put Education first when you're currently studying. If you're not currently studying, then Experience comes first.

I hope this clarifies a bit.

Warm regards
Alex

Hi everyone, I received the link for Video Interview. Can I submit the videos after deadline as I am traveling for a couple of days?

Yes 48 hours after the deadline is the threshold

thanks appreciated!

also, on my previous question, does anyone have a rough figure estimate on the (interview call/no. of applications) % for Indian applicants?

from what i’ve seen, there are around 600 indian applications and 60 admitted in 1 cohort. i think they send interview invites to 120 people and select 60 odd probably. So 20% get invites, 10% get admitted

not too sure about the figures though

anyone have done video interview for insead? what questions should we prepare?

I did my video interview this morning, best piece of advice I can give is to practice using question banks similar to the one shared above. Think about your answer to each question and then practice delivering your response under the 1-minute time constraint. This is all you need to do to maximise your chances of presenting your best self.

Hey everyone! Was wondering if i could get a profile eval. I have already applied for R2 but just to satiate my anxiety, was wondering if i could get any advice on what my chances look like

Do let me know if i could ping anyone directly, thanks!

Hi, I have a score of 710 (Q49, V38, IR5) in GMAT. But am from an over represented community. I applied in round 2. Will the admissions committee go through the entire application (essays, experience, recommendations) or is there a cut off for GMAT before proceeding to next stages?
