It is quite late but duty calls. New year new blogging activities. TO my biggest disappointment work, socializing and blogging don’t mix well together. Anew formula is requested. Any suggestions out there for the lonely blogger?
I have to say though that I am impressed after 6 months of graduating this blog is still considered to be on top of developments regarding INSEAD. It is my duty therefore to shed light on the global phenomenon called INSEAD.
Kudos once again to Necromonger for his illuminating post on INSEAD. http://onwardtomba.blogspot.com/2008/01/queries-that-land-on-my-blog-answers.html for more information refer there. You will get his point of view, although most of these questions have been asked non stop by applicants.
My friends from December Insead 2007 promotion graduated. Their graduation was more different than ours. INSEAD July 2007 class graduated 90% at Fonty, while theirs may be evenly split. Personally I recommend graduating at Fonty since that is the place where INSEAD started. No better place than to graduate at one’s birthplace.
December 2008 Class entered the fray and the July 2009 Insead MBA class admissions are under way, round 2 to be specific. There have been some delays regarding round 2 decisions though. In round 2 I had 3 people I know applying. One of them is already in and I am happy for that person since we started this whole process together and I knew in my heart the result. If you read this now do smile please. My second friend is awaiting confirmation after the 2 interviews. Anxiety is building up though for the 3rd person who hasn’t received interview confirmation.
As for December 2008 class they are having their first week of classes. I wonder how they are feeling. I guess the more promotions come after me the older I get. Time can never be stopped in any way so make peace with him.
Time for some insights: some months ago I wrote on this blog some of my predictions. I argued that the Global MBA market is increasing geometrically with the inclusion of masses of students from Asia and also from S. America. To an economics student this creates a discrepancy, supply can’t keep up with demand and the market gets inefficient. According to one of my sources in 2007 schools received a record number of applications
My second observation was the rise of INSEAD. INSEAD may not be known in the states but that’s not the point. INSEAD is top ranked when it comes to students who know what they want. INSEAD applicants mostly apply to only one MBA, INSEAD! In the case of Harvardites or Whartons the majority apply to the Holy Triad( H/ S / W). On top of that INSEAD galvanizes applicants over its brand. INSEAD is on the rise and that’s the result of long years of trying.
The Brutal facts will never go down!
