Question about INSEAD

When do the results for Round 2 July intake 2025 start rolling in?

December 23, 2024 11:05am ET
Question about USC / Marshall

So was the decision by deadline just not true? It's been over a week now and they originally said by the end of last week but I still haven't heard a decision. I am guessing a few other people still haven't heard back. Is there nothing we can do but wait?

Post MBA Career: Technology, Commercial Banking
GMAT: 665
Location: USA
Notes:

Strongly leaning towards going abroad as I’d like to get international experience and work in Europe for a few years post-grad (although eventually come back to the US). LBS likely stronger recruiting (targeting fintechs / payments like Mastercard) but very tempted by the Barcelona lifestyle and lower all-in cost of IESE.

GPA: 3.9
Notes:

Leaning Wharton b/c best brand and seems to be the best cultural fit, but unsure if it's smart to pass up $ from CBS or location of Sloan (would only like to recruit for jobs in Boston post-MBA). Brand is a long term play as consulting outcomes likely the same between options. Will not be taking out loans regardless of scholarship.

Notes:

Primary ST goal is gov consulting for McK/BCG in DC, but also considering general management/LDP and mostly location-agnostic post-MBA. LT goal is entrepreneurship or politics. Booth seems like the best cultural fit for me. I'm not sure Wharton would have better outcomes despite the higher price. Partner's job opportunities may be best in Chicago.
