Calling all Applicants: INSEAD January 2024 Intake : INSEAD - Page 17

Are the round-1,2 of scholarships independent of rounds of application?
I mean if you have applied application in R2, the scholarship also should be applied in R2?

Hey guys. I'm an R1 applicant to Insead and currently in the interview round.

Both my interviewers have been super unresponsive. I sent them emails but there was no response. So I whatsapped them and they replied that they would let me know when the interview happens but then went MIA again. Insead has told me the interviews should be done by 25th.

What should I do? I don't want to pester and annoy them as it may affect their decision. What's my best plan of action right now?

For context, I'm from India

No info on it

I know that they have a separate scholarship application page, but not sure when do we need to fill that. If someone could provide more context, it would be super helpful.

If you are shortlisted you will get a mail for scholarship from NG and you have to create a login and password (different dashboard) then you’ll enter financial details of you , then finally you’ll be given customised list of scholarships you can apply and that’s it

Okay, thanks a lot for clarifying!

I haven't but should I? Does it come off negatively?

I don't want them to contact my interviewers and for them to feel I'm being a snitch.

I think you should. Particularly since you are already approaching the deadline. Other interviewers can still be contacted at this point.
There is nothing snitchy about reporting someone who opted to perform a task then refuses to keep you posted. If anything it reflects bad on them.

Yes I agree. It is any day better than AO telling you later that we can’t do anything as you did not inform.

Sent the AO a mail. Let's see what happens now

did anyone got application fee waiver?
got code?

Good luck

akhil97, Don’t worry, they will assign other interviewers and extend the deadline for the interviews by a week if required. INSEAD is quite flexible and supportive in this aspect

Hey Caraxes,

Congratulations on achieving a score of 710 on your GMAT exam!
Admissions committees do not typically have strict cutoffs for GMAT scores, especially when the rest of the application is strong. While a high GMAT score is important, it is just one part of a larger picture that includes your essays, work experience, letters of recommendation, and overall fit with the program. Admissions committees will evaluate your entire application before making a decision.

However, it's also true that being from an overrepresented community can make the admissions process more competitive for you. Admissions committees strive to create diverse classes, so they may need to be more selective with applicants from overrepresented communities. This means that your entire application will be evaluated more critically, and you'll need to stand out in other ways beyond just your GMAT score.

In summary, while a high GMAT score is important, it's not the only factor in the admissions process. Admissions committees will evaluate your entire application, including your essays, work experience, letters of recommendation, and overall fit with the program. Being from an overrepresented community may make the process more competitive, but it's still possible to stand out with a strong application. In case you have any further questions regarding your profile or the program and would like to have a clear and better discussion about it with our top profile experts, feel free to hop on a call with us. Hence, feel free to schedule a call with us at your convenience.

For me I applied just before the deadline on March 7 and got the interview invitation on March 22. Some folks got it one or two weeks later. It depends a lot on who you AO is. Hope it helps!

so expect a 2-4 weeks window
