Hi there,

Allow me to introduce myself as a laggard to this fantastic group. I guess better late than never! I felt like a zombie when I discovered this thread today.


Well...I aint bringing any breaking news to this thread....but for making this announcement that I am also an R3 applicant eagerly awating for the final results from INSEAD... I ve been having anxiety attacks as each friday approaches...whoever said thank god its friday!....

I hope all those who are still sitting on the fence and awating the final results can actually head to the TGIF pub nearby...!

Cheers

Hi guys,

1. All the best to R3 folks awaiting results. Hope all of you make it
2. Congratulations to all the R2 admits - am sure you guys are having a ball already!
3. Question: Have any of you been waitlisted from R1 or R2? If yes, have you been moved from a waitlist to an admit?

P.S. I am an R2 waitlisted candidate for Jan 2008.

Hi there!

I might be jumping the gun here, this question should ideally be addressed if and when I get the final admit...

Hi there,

i might be jumping the gun here by asking this question before the admit decision is in....but then it always good to be better informed...

Is any one planning to begin at the Singapore campus( I have opted for Singapore)?
From what i get to hear, the rental for flats in Dover/Heritage is S$4500/- per month!

I intend to bring my wife and 3yr old daughter along....With these exhorbitant rentals I am left with no other option but to seek a flatmate to share an apartment with.

Can any of you...especially with access to NV please pitch in with some info on this,

Navin

Any news for R3???

[m0657]

no news - everything crossable is crossed! There have beena number of accepts from other forums though - both from Fonty and Sing. It seems like they have been filtering in from last week.

[Jotake]

Fist of all congrautlations to Gopi for making it to Singapore! Well done mate...

As for me is concerned... I keep waiting, and getting more negative as we get close to Friday.

Anyways, congratulations to all those who've already made it and good luck to all those still waiting (including myself!!)

Cheers
