Finally, I am going to share a meaningful piece of advice on application essays. This is something I noticed only now, after the scholarship results, but I realise that it helped me get admitted to INSEAD in the first place. So here goes &#8211; honesty is good. Use honesty in your essays. That&#8217;s it; lesson over.

Just finished the scholarship applications . Writing yet another set of essays was almost too painful to bear. The last time I wrote application essays was so long ago, I had completely forgotten how tough if it was to find something meaningful to say. Other than &#8220;I need the money, please please please&#8221;. Then of course you [...]]]></description>

Finally!! I got the call on the last possible day when I was already certain that the result would be a ding or a waitlist selection. So imagine my surprise when I heard the phone ring and saw a number beginning with +33 on the screen. What a great way to start the day.

Below is my report on the two interviews I had with INSEAD alumni. First off I must say I gave each a copy of the complete application, essays and all. Maybe this is not the usual practice, but then my profile is too boring without the stories told in the essays. Both interviewers had read the essays, or [...]]]></description>

Me and my interviewers seem to have agreed on the appointments, I have done my due diligence aka stalking and more or less know what to expect from them. This blog should go quiet, again, for a couple of weeks now, after that do expect interview reports, as detailed as possible without blowing my cover. [...]]]></description>

Yep, INSEAD wants to interview me. Good news, just when I was starting to worry.
Now, I think I know quite a few alumni in my region -  personally, not from doing business with them, and no, none are close friends. But it will be interesting to have someone interview me whom I have seen at a party [...]]]></description>

If I haven&#8217;t posted anything lately it&#8217;s not because I&#8217;m busy with other stuff. I am not, but then I am also not thinking much about my MBA plans. Basically, the plan goes like this: at some point INSEAD will have to give me either a ding or an admit. If they admit me, I will either find the money or [...]]]></description>

IMD sent me a ding letter today. It&#8217;s very nice and long, with a lot of BS about how competitive the admissions process is, etc. I realise my profile is much weaker than what this school wants and the ding is not much of a surprise, so I&#8217;m trying not to let this bring me down.

The INSEAD application is done, about a week before the deadline. It feels strange, I wrote the first drafts more than two months ago and the final versions are not very much different. I only had to re-write from scratch two essays and I tweaked the career goals one a couple of times, but that [...]]]></description>

I had this good essay draft for INSEAD about my career goals. Now, I still have it, but it&#8217;s no longer relevant. What the hell happened to finance? I had a chat with a current student in Fontainebleau and the news is all bad for banking internships. The rest of the financial sector does not look [...]]]></description>

Yes, I have submitted my IMD application in time for Round 1. Yes, with all the recommendations. To get three relatively senior and very busy people to work for me and make it before the deadline was the hardest part of the application process. This is not to say that cracking the GMAT or writing [...]]]></description>

Who knew that when they say 1230 characters they mean it? No, really &#8211; in the online application form you cannot physically type more than the specified number of characters, and it counts spaces and new lines. How do I explain my career progression, goals and fit in this space? Furthermore, if this strict attitude [...]]]></description>
