HEC Paris - Sep 2010 intake

Congrats to the new admits! I'm really enjoying seeing the class fill up on LinkedIn

We have so much diversity in background, experience, and hobbies!

Trentohawk,

I would answer the question as more of your long-term career goal. Since there is a separate essay on short-term goals, this is an opportunity for you to address your extended career vision. For example, immediately after your MBA, you may want to take on a more senior or mid-level role to your previous position if you are remaining in the same industry. If you are aiming to change industries, you may want to focus on a more reasonable mid-level position. However, your long-term career goals could be vice president or C-level executive in whatever industry you pursue, after a suitable amount of work. So for example: If you are in high-tech and staying there, you might have your immediate post-MBA goal be a manager or associate director position (assuming you were a senior engineer of some sort before). Your longer term goal could be to be head of your sector in your country or your functional group. Ideally, your professional objective is what you are aiming for in the apex of your career. Anyway, this is just one example, but I hope it helps! Good luck!

Samd, you are too kind . I believe most of the candidates from India interviewed in person in their local city. (There are quite a few alumni there.) So hopefully, you won't have to travel too far for an interview. And I think the total # of participants for the September intakes is more like 155. There are more admitted than attend (yield rate of about 65%), so don't let the numbers scare you. I wish you luck!
