INSEAD Personal Essay 5 Tips

Please choose one of the following two essay topics:

a) Have you ever experienced culture shock? What did it mean to you? (250 words approx.)

or b) What would you say to a foreigner moving to your home country? (250 words approx.)

INSEAD has a strong international student mix and has a stronger international focus. Whichever question you choose, your outlook and maturity in cross-cultural interactions forms the core of this INSEAD application essay. Typically, "culture shock" makes for a better story while "home country" allows you greater freedom of subject matter.

Go for it!

INSEAD Optional Essay Tips

Is there anything that you have not mentioned in the above essays that you would like the Admissions Committee to know? (200 words approx.)

As usual an optional essay requires effort even if you don’t write it. The main question in any optional essay is to decide whether you need to write it at all. Attempt the INSEAD optional essay only if you feel that it will improve the factual and material strength of your application.

INSEAD Reapplicant Essay Tips

In case of reapplication, please use this page. Your essay should state any new aspects of professional, international, academic, or personal development since your last application. We would also like you to explain your motivation for re-applying to INSEAD. (400 words)

"We normally do not encourage applications from previously rejected candidates." Keep that direct quote from the INSEAD website in mind when writing your reapplication. INSEAD's position is blunt but clear. We rejected you last time; so what has changed?

Go for it!
