I have two questions. They are unrelated but both pertain to the admissions process:

1) INSEAD has a short essay question: "If you are currently not working, what are you doing and what do you plan to do until you start the MBA programme? (250 words maximum)." If I'm working full-time, I assume I can just put "N/A" or something like that, correct? It's a bit vague compared to the traditional American question which would state, in bold, "PLEASE DO NOT COMPLETE IF CURRENTLY EMPLOYED".

2) For Kellogg, I do not live in the Chicago-area so I requested an off-campus interview. Is it true that getting an interview here in California is a good sign or does EVERYONE who applies to Kellogg, completes the app, and requests the interview, obtains an interview?


Thanks,

1) Yep! N/A is about right.
2) It's a good sign. But everyone gets invited :)
