Am I allowed to apply for the INSEAD L'Oréal Scholarship before I get admitted?

No. You can typically apply for the INSEAD L'Oréal Scholarship only after you are admitted to the INSEAD MBA, and the separate MIM scholarship likewise requires admission to INSEAD's MIM. Each is awarded once, so secure your offer first and check the official page.
