Honestly, it’s very exhausting to wait in the dark and I want to move on.

Hi everyone,

I’m an INSEAD January intake (J-term) applicant from India, currently waitlisted after Round 1.

Since the time I submitted my application, my Admissions Officer has been largely non-responsive, except for communication related to scheduling the interview.

I’ve tried reaching out multiple times since then, including requesting a call, attempting to connect, and sharing additional updates, but haven’t received any responses.

After being waitlisted, I confirmed that I would like to remain on the waitlist, but did not receive any acknowledgment or confirmation that I’ve officially been placed on it. I’ve also continued to share updates post waitlist, but still haven’t received any response.

From speaking with a few other applicants, it seems like this might be happening more broadly this round.

I completely understand that the admissions team is busy, but given how critical this stage is, the lack of communication makes it unclear how to proceed.

Is anyone else facing something similar?

Would love to connect, please feel free to DM me.

Also, if any current students, alumni, or past waitlisted applicants have advice on how to navigate this phase, I’d really appreciate your insights.

Thanks in advance!

Is Vanderbilt full-ride worth it?

I’m sure all the waitlist folks have offers from other b schools as well. So for how long are you planning to wait for the INSEAD offer to convent.

Hey homies!

Give it to me straight. Which b school has the best dating scene and why?

Is an inter school dating scene possible anywhere?

Any interesting lore or tea you might wanna spill? Xd

Hey everyone,

Slightly random question, but how realistic is it to actually meet your life partner during an MBA?

Like, not just dating casually, but genuinely meeting someone you end up marrying and building a life with.

I know people joke about “ring by spring” in some programs, but I am curious how common this actually is across schools like M7 INSEAD and similar programs.

Also being completely honest, a small (but real) part of why I want to do an MBA is the kind of people you meet, and the possibility of finding a long term partner there.

Is that a reasonable expectation to have going in, or is it something that just happens occasionally and shouldn’t really factor into your thinking?

Would love to hear from people who have seen this happen, or went in with a similar mindset.

And also curious, how many of you are secretly thinking the same thing?

Thanks :)
