This is for the information of all R3 as well as European school applicants.

Admissanado experts - Jon and Lauren - conducted Q&A chat in GMATCLUB chat room few days back in which they offered tips and guidance to prospective R3 & European school applicants.
I have updated the first post with the transcript of this chat. (and lot of other cool stuff too. ) Interested members can download this transcript from there.

Good luck to everyone applying and have a nice weekend.

Thank You!

Hey, can anyone tell me in the section, how do you plan to finance your MBA, how much detail is required? Or is it like generic like loan + savings + etc etc ?

This is my first app so having lots of doubts

Hi ashkul123
There are numerous scholarships available at HEC Paris. Check out the following link:
https://www.mba.hec.edu/Fees-Funding/Scholarships
Apart from this the school also has tie ups with local banks where you can apply for an education loan.
The scholarship amounts range from 6000 EUR to 24000 EUR and these scholarships are given out to a more than half of the accepted students.
All the best with your app! Keep us updated.

Hi Zat, Thanks for the reply. Can I then just mention that I will be using my savings, etc. Plus whatever is the shortfall, I will take a loan for that?

Yes you can. You just have to talk about your options and how you plan to use them.

Hello everyone!
Does anyone know at what time is the deadline for the next round? They put February 1st, so is it January 31st at midnight or February 1st at midnight?
Another question about the international exposure and extracurricular activities: They did not specify a word limit so are you guys elaborating the answers or just listing briefly the information?

Done with my interviews. (Phew!) As per the website the decision date is 7th Feb. Fingers crossed for the final decision now. All the best to all fellow applicants!

good luck! just a quick question.. was your presentation about yourself or it's really as the instruction said, any topic will do even if it's not relevant to your application? also, did you use the same presentation for both interviews?

I'm about to have mine.. super nervous

Seems like they changed the deadlines. Last time it was on the 15th of each month. I submitted mine Jan 15th evening, Paris time, and was considered for the 7 Feb decision date. Was really surprised by the change. I guess it's best to check with adcom.
For the international exposure part, I elaborated briefly on the activities i did (around 200 words in total for 4 of them)

My application is considered for the 7 March decision date. I checked with the adcom.

Fingers crossed to go through to the next step!

Thanks!
The presentation, as mentioned on the website, can be on any random topic. They just want to evaluate your presentation skills. But be ready to answer why you chose this topic. I was asked this question by both the interviewers.
I checked up one of my interviewer's profile on LinkedIn and made a presentation on a topic in his area of work. The good part is that he was very interested and appreciated that I had done some research about him. The risky part.... it was his area of expertise. So if you plan to do the same, you better be very well informed about the topic.
And yes you can use the same presentation or 2 different presentations in your interviews. That is your call.
All the best!
