I applied to ESADE class of 2014 and received acceptance in December 2011. I just submitted my deposit yesterday so I will be attending this fall.
My profile:
29 year old from New York
7.5 years work experience in communications, marketing, digital (sports-focused)
700 GMAT
Undergrad GPA - I'd rather not discuss it
I believe that who you are is as important, if not more important than academic credentials. It seems ESADE wants to have a class that will function as a team, and having been there earlier this week, it certainly shone through. The best advice I can give (for what it's worth) is to figure out what your point of differentiation is and play to your strengths.
Also, I've been told the class is about 40% full at this point.
Best of luck to everyone. I'd love to meet others from the class of 2014 so please PM me (or just PM me if you want to chat more).

Hey,
I am planning to apply to ESADE as well. Need to do some research before I decide to apply..
If you can be kind enough to jot down a few strengths of ESADE which compelled you to join ESADE..
Infact, I throw this question to everybody in this forum and would love to know their perspectives..
In addition, my other target schools were IESE and IE..Hence, the IESE v/s ESADE v/s IE war continues inside me:-)
Hi OptimusPrimea1,
I recently got admitted into ESADE, which was my first choice, based on the following strengths of the school, which was done after my own research and speaking to several ESADE Alumni:
- One of the top business schools in Europe, with a great MBA program
- The business school is a close-knit community where everyone gets to know each other
- The school embraces multiculturalism
- They advocate team work and participation in classes
- Barcelona is a beautiful place to live!
To Jonathon and Sam : Congrats on your admission to ESADE! A few of us who were admitted have already gotten in touch with each other on facebook, and developed this informal ESADE Facebook group for this year's intake:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/esade2012/If you have facebook feel free to join as it would be great to get acquainted with you guys before classes , and kick start our Barcelona journey!
Regards,
Sami
