Full Review of the Program:
INSEAD is a unique program. If you want what INSEAD has- amazing opportunities for travel and exploration, the most diverse student body by a long shot, and the ability to dive in and start projects/initiatives right from the beginning- then you likely won't be applying many other places. While their motto "The Business School for the World" may sound a bit corny, it's accurate. If you believe this whole globalization thing is here to stay, and want to best position yourself to thrive in a shrinking world, this is the way to go.
Advice to Prospective Students:
No matter where you're applying, do your homework, and choose the school based on the school, not the ranking. If you don't like working in groups and having your opinions challenged and your mind opened, this is not the place for you. On the other hand, if an MBA is about growing as a person as much as it is about advancing your career prospects, you have found the right place.
