Impressive profile Vineet!

Your profile and extra-curriculars convert your death pill (if any) to 'amrut-ras'

All the best!

Hey Kunal -- its very difficult for anyone (besides probably AdCom themselves) to gauge chances. I am sure with all the information you've read on INSEAD you're aware of the importance they place on international exposure. That could potentially be the biggest shortcoming in your application, but you definitely have many other positive attributes that can offset that. Just depends on how judiciously you use them in your essays. You have the raw ingredients to go forth, so I would recommend you to apply and spend a lot of time on your essays.

Essentially convince AdCom m that not only will INSEAD be good for you, but you will better INSEAD with the qualities you bring to the table.

EDIT: Ahh just re-read -- IIM (Indian IT Male). ignore the question

Good luck!

Hi Friends,
I want to ask one question regarding the official transcript requmt of INSEAD. Does it need to be attested by the College authorities? If someone can explain in simple terms what the official transcript means and how to get that would be very helpfull, as most US B-School requires this.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Santanus

Official transcripts is the marksheet you got at the time you graduated. FOr the purpose of Insead i sent phtocopies of my BCOM and CA duly certified by notary public. Notary had charged me. That is perfectly acceptable to schools most of them that i have come across. INSEAD has accepted it as i Have received the mail of my application completion

Hey guys, I am an R2 applicant as well.... is there anyone who has graduated from DU here? Getting transcripts, I think, is going to be a pain... knowing my univ...
