Talk with IMD Student

After a few weeks of going back and forth trying to find some time, I finally was able to speak with one of the IMD current students. We started formally but the conversation turned out to be a friendly one. I did not have specific questions but wanted to find out more on what is on the site.
The year starts with establishing fundamental business skills for first six months along with start up project for an entrepreneur. Next comes the Discovery Expedition which is to explore small size industry and make recommendations. The student I spoke with said he enjoyed the discovery expedition a lot, they had spent time in South Africa and it was a fantastic experience. There are things I wanted to but did not ask about, left them for later as I had already taken half hour of his time. Things like scholarship, interview process etc. We briefly spoke about my profile and he thought it was good but I am very nervous. Firstly I want this school badly, secondly I know I have an average profile, thirdly I have never lived abroad and the biggest of all is that I'm an Indian and their are way too many Indians who have lived abroad applying for IMD. I do plan to contact some Indians at IMD and talk to them. May be I'll feel better.
Right now I'm nervous and have ISB deadline coming next. Why do schools take such a long time to respond whether we're through or not!!
