ALso would like to know current ESADE Ranking in research in Business Ethics n CSR is possible!

Hey everyone,

I got admitted to the Sept 2011 batch for masters in management sciences.
I couldn't find anyone around here in the same course so thought I'll just join the MBA people.
Asking the admits : Which campus are you people joining. I will be at Sant Cugat - Barcelona. Will be great to be in touch with fellow batchmates!

Tanz from India.

If any ESADE students are looking to rent an apartment for the coming school year, I'm renting my 3 bedroom apartment in the center of Barcelona fully furnished. Check it out here:

has anyone appied for the september 2012 intake?

I'm applying to Msc Marketing Management with CEMS for the September 2012 intake! I've sent all my documents and I tracked the package online and it said that it had been delivered. I also sent my GMAT score in June, but when I put in my login and password, it says that all the documents are still pending.

That's odd. I would suggest you send the admission committee a e-mail. They should address your concerns. I haven't completed my application yet but will try and let you know if I face anything similar once I'm done.

vgr, I've sent them an e-mail but haven't received a reply yet and I've been checking my status but it hasn't changed--all the documents are still pending. I'm getting pretty worried as I was hoping to apply in round 1 and the deadline was on October 31. Interviews are supposed to be conducted in the middle of November with the final decision coming at the end of November

If it has been over a week, then you should try calling the admin office. I looked around ontheir website and found this:

hi guys! I checked my status yesterday and thankfully it now says that documentation has been received and is pending the Admissions Committee.

Anyone else applying to ESAD for the Sept 2012 intake? There seems to hardly be anyone. And for the 2011 applicants, how long did you have to wait before getting a call for interview?

Hey I started my application but haven't submitted it yet... I'm not sure if i'll apply though!

Hey,

I also started my application for Sept. intake 2012 (MIM) but still have to attend GMAT (2nd of december) and TOEFL (17th of december). Therefore I hope to get into 3rd round otherwise I'll be in round 4.
So I would be glad if we could meet next Sept. in Barcelona .

Best wishes for your applications!!

Hi jbelli!! You don't know how good it is to finally find someone on here who's also applying to ESADE MiM since most people on here are applying to MBA.

Good luck on your GMAT and Toefl! Have you submitted your application already though, or will you submit it once you've taken the two tests?

Also, could you please share your profile? And which MiM of ESADE are you applying to?

Hey baume7,

I will submit my application right after I attended the tests. Hopefully GMAT will be in line with my recent GMATPrep Scores (670 & 690).

I'm applying for the Master in International Management (without CEMS because of the lack of spanish knowledge).

Sure I can share my profile:

24 years old male
german
GMAT ... (lets hope for the best)
Undergrad. GPA: 3.4

Education:
Bachelor of Business Administration
I attended a "cooporative study" programme, that stands out from regular programmes because of the possibility to receive a Bachelor and additionally complete an apprenticeship within 3.5 years. My programme was a cooporation between the Berlin School of Economics and Law, to gain theoretical knowledge, and an apprenticeship at Siemens, to apply the gained knowledge and get significant insights in the processes and challanges a global company faces.
(Further information about the programme by the Berlin School of Economics and Law can be found at the following link: https://www.hwr-berlin.de/en/department- ... e-studies/)

Extra-Curricular:
Here it looks pretty bad :-/
Actually I played soccer for about 7 years and I've been team captain for 2 years. Furthermore my team was awarded "team of the month" in the most important german soccer magazine.

Work experience:
- 3 years apprenticeship at Siemens
--> 3.5 month intership (during that time) at Siemens Windpower A/S in Denmark to implement a Project Management Office and align strategically important global projects
- 2 years IT Service Consulting at Siemens Enterprise Communications

Target Schools:
- ESADE
- ESSEC
- EDHEC
- GGSB
- Stockholm School of Economics
- Vienne School of Economics and Business (CEMS)
- Mannheim Business School

Actually I am not really sure about my GPA :-/. My university does not use GPA system and therefore I calculated it with the WES tool. This tool says that I have a GPA of 3.97... - I think that does not match my grade because in the German system I have a 1.6 (4.0 is the worst grade to pass). So I would be glad if anyone could help me.

Jbelli, thanks for sharing your profile! Out of the schools you mentioned, which would be your top choices? Do you know any current students at ESADE?

I just got the interview invite today. However, the adcom said that I did not qualify for the CEMS due to my lack of management courses in university (my first degree was in Communication Arts), but I'm asking for a possible reconsideration since I am still in my final year (finishing a second degree in European Studies with a Business track) and this is when I am taking all my management and business subjects. So hopefully all goes well!
