Excellent experience. Sadaf's insider perspective having been an INSEAD MBA 'participant' first and then interviewer was invaluable.
All my questions were quickly answered thanks to her in depth knowledge of all aspects of the MBA process and it almost felt like I had my own career coach!
Thank you!
