INSEAD Application, Interview & MBA Guidance

A 1:1 guidance session for candidates considering or applying to INSEAD’s MBA, based on my own experience as an INSEAD MBA alumna.

We can discuss the INSEAD application process, profile positioning, application strategy, essays, alumni interviews and overall fit — as well as the less obvious question: is INSEAD actually the right MBA for you?

Depending on where you are in the process, we can cover:

• Application strategy & profile positioning - how to present your career, leadership and personal experiences in a way that is authentic and differentiated
• Application & essays - how to approach the different components and build a strong narrative
• Pre-interview preparation — what to expect from INSEAD alumni interviews and how to prepare for the types of questions and conversations you may encounter
• Career goals & INSEAD fit — articulating why INSEAD makes sense for your career and personal goals
• Pros & cons of INSEAD — an honest discussion of the programme, including its one-year format, international environment, career opportunities, network, and potential limitations
• Life at INSEAD — what the experience is actually like beyond the brochure
• Should you apply/ Should you go? — an honest assessment of your situation, timing and motivations before you invest significant time and money.

This is particularly useful if you're seriously considering INSEAD, preparing an application, have been shortlisted for interview, or simply want an insider's perspective before making the decision to apply.

Note: this is independent guidance based on my experience as an INSEAD alumna.
