I got an admit to the July 2009 INSEAD class starting at Fonty. I got notified via email unlike the 'typical' phone call. I didn't particularly enjoy INSEAD's phased admission notification process as the anxiety wore me and my wife out. I have to say, I nagged the living hell out of her.
So, I feel great. But daunted about having to make a payment/decision by March 21st. I have an ISB admit and am waiting for news from Stanford. I need to think through the pros & cons of ISB & INSEAD. That & funding options (I'm researching this topic pretty heavily) would be the topic of my next post.

Excellent news, congratulations!
@max: Thanks man, for the wishes.
congrats, so you applied for Singapore but were given Fonty?
Hi,
Was reading through your blog. I am admitted to ISB for Apr '08 and waiting to hear back from INSEAD for Jan'09 intake. Am supposed to hear back regarding the interview by 4/18, but am supposed to be at ISB by 4/12. Regarding this, even if I am pre-selected for an interview at INSEAD it takes a few to schedule and accomodate it, so most possibly I will have to take my interview in Hyderbad.
- Do you know if anyone has had any luck in trying to get INSEAD to send out the interviewing details earlier?
- Should I tell INSEAD that I will already be starting at ISB before I hear from them, or in your opinion would that count against me?
- I can also just say I'll be moving to Hyderabad for personal reasons, and ask them to find some alum's around there..
I know its a long post, but am just a bit nervous and trying to get more opinions.
Many Thanks,
@ crush: I applied to Fonty and got Fonty. I was contemplating switching to Singapore due to personal reasons but for the time being I've deferred it.
@samarth: I would suggest that you ping INSEAD to give you an early decision. It's a big mess committing yourself to 2 universities. I've heard that they are quite flexible. I dont think you're expected to give too much specifics other than that you've got a competing admit.
The good news is that INSEAD gets ahead of their proposed dates by a week or so.
Hi,
Had a question, how did you get admitted for July 09 course so early. I am aiming for 09 too, could you help pls.
Thanks
Did they tell you the exact dates for orientation and the first day of class? What date would an accepted student need to be in Fonty? Thanks.
