Hi,

Was wondering how admitted students were paying for the program.

I didn't see any loans that did not require a cosignor.

I did see IEFC and TERI but both required cosignors. Can admitted students help here?

I know ISB offers loans through Andhra and SBI at 9.5%

How would an Insead admit be able to negotiate something like this?

So how did all the round 2 interviews go? Anyone getting the second interview too?

I finished mine today. Pretty short Walk through CV, why Insead. And the wait resumes for 29th

So, how many of you have gotten replies from the School?

Regarding R3 and beyond: If you are accomplished and you have done well in your interviews, you have nothing to worry about. Your chances are no better or worse than the first round.

If you have not received any acknowledgment from the school, again, do not worry. They have a good process in place. If it has been too long and you still have not heard from the school, you can always write an email to the school.

INSEAD is good at picking the right students. They won't let go a good candidate just as you won't let go a good school.

Cheers!

Got done with 2 interviews. I applied during R2. Both interviews went well. I documented my INSEAD experience here: Applying to INSEAD

I intend on pinging the adcom to accelerate the decision on my admission. I hear they are flexible if they are interested in recruiting you..

[mbabuster]

Has anyone here who applioed to R3 got an interview invite yet ???
Also whats the time frame for an interview invite after submission of the application ?

[Partha_S]

INSEAD's really good with sticking to their deadlines. In my case, I heard from INSEAD 1 week before the deadline they had mentioned.

[bschoolaspirant]

Did any of the R2 candidates hear on the decision?

[Partha_S]

I applied in R2, I have not heard back. A few folks on the Business week forums have gotten admits. I have not heard of anyone getting dings. I suspect that the folks who have gotten admits have pressed INSEAD for it. If you're in a hurry and have competing offers, you could try notifying the adcom.
