I think that in the mad rat race during college in India, all of the students want to crack the CAT and get through a business school without knowing exactly what they want to do post MBA. They are just lured by the fat salaries. After MBA, for sometime that charm of earning well remains for someti...

Any updates ? I have been accepted to the IIMC PGPX program :) I wasn't expecting that I'd get through as the interview was quite difficult. Couldn't make it through IIMA PGPX but I am happy and satisfied with what I have got now. IIMC executive MBA is the second best EMBA in India after IIMA one, ...

I wish to know whether visiting a campus helps a candidate favorably. I mean someone mentions in the essays that he has visited the campus of Harvard, wouldn't that impress the admission committee that this candidate is serious enough to get through Harvard ? Visiting a campus is not going to influ...

It will still take some time for the results to be out. How are things at your end?

Sorry guys for not being able to update you. Yes, I did have my interview around a week back. There were three interviewing panels with three panel members each.

Another 740 here. Congrats on the great score. Btw, did you actually manage to follow the schedule you have mentioned because most of the times I used to make schedules only to realize that I am not following it after a week. :-D But in the end ,everything turned out for the good, so no qualms :D

@rishi I read it somewhere that almost 70% of the students at INSEAD switch their campuses during their program. A lot of people start at Fonty,then go to Singapore for the next two terms and then return to Fonty for the last term. It is usually suggested that the choice of campus in the last term s...
