Admitted to ESADE Msc in Management 2012! Any applicants?

Question

Hi everyone! I've just been admitted to ESADE's Master in Marketing Management in the Fall 2012. Anyone else recently admitted or currently applying?

I'd be glad to help anyone out if you have questions on the application process as well.

Hi baume7 !

I am also applying for the Master in Marketing Management.
I've just received an email from ESADE : I have a personal interview next Monday, February the 20th. Could you tell me more about the interview and the questions they asked?

Many thanks !!

Florian

Hi florian! Where are you from? Can you share your profile please? And congratulations on getting the interview invite! From what I remember, the interview was very comfortable and they just wanted to get to know me and see if I was a good fit for ESADE and the program. They asked me the standard questions like: What makes you a unique candidate? What can you bring to ESADE? Why ESADE? Why the Masters in Management program? They also asked specific questions regarding my CV and the activities I've done, the life I live, etc. They also asked some questions like: 10 years from now, if you were to be on the cover of TIME magazine, what would it say about you?

Good luck in the interview! Let us know how it goes.

Hi baume! Thank you so much for all this information, it will be very helpful!! And congratulations to you for having been accepted!
Well I am French and Swiss and I am studying International Management in ICADE (universidad pontificia comillas) in Madrid. Actually I chose the franco-spanish track that's why I am in France right now for my last year. I spent 2 years in Spain and then 2 more years in France. I took the ESADE admission test on past January and all that I can say is that ESADE's campus in Sant Cugat del Vallés is great and the admission people I spoke to is really really nice. So I have a really good feeling about ESADE and I hope to be there next September! And you, where are you from?

I will tell you next week how it went!

That's great!! I'm glad to hear that the campus and people were nice. How was the travel though? I heard that it takes about 35 minutes via FGC train from Barcelona to Sant Cugat then there's another 10 to 15 minute walk from the Sant Cugat station to the school. Would you know if there's a dress code for Msc students?

I'm from Manila, Philippines

Hope all goes well for you, if it does, we'll be classmates in September! Do keep us updated on your application process,

HI, I too got admitted in MIM 2012 :-D

where are you from? and ll you be taking immersion program? share any information you have regarding accommodation. Suvigya

florian90 · Answer

Hello! So I've been admitted too

The interview has been very comfortable and I received the final answer four days later. For the travel, I think you're right, it took like half an hour to go from BCN to Sant Cugat. I walked to go to the campus but I've been told that there's a bus. For the dress code, well I haven't seen a lot of people as we were 5 to take the admission test this day and to be honest, I didn't pay too much attention to the students. But from what I've seen it's quite casual so no worries. (in Spanish I would say that the dress code is quite "pijo", but I have no idea of the exact English translation ;-)

) Congratulations Suvigya! I'm from France, where are you from?

baume7 · Answer

Haha well if my understanding of Spanish is correct, I think 'pijo' is "snooty" in English

And congratulations Florian! I remember you saying that you were applying for Msc in Marketing Management? In that case, it seems we'll be classmates!

What are your plans for housing? I'm currently looking into the Sarria-Sant Gervasi or Gracia neighborhoods as my first and second choice. I want to live in a shared flat for sure with some girls (as my parents are pretty conservative and don't want me in a mixed apartment).

samik · Answer

Florian90 congrats on your admission to ESADE! I will see you in class

To other students who have been admitted: we have developed an 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

florian90 · Answer

Hey there, I joined your unofficial FB group so it will be easier to talk

@ Sami : Congrats !! @ Baume : No I haven't started to find an accommodation yet but one thing that I am sure is that I want to live in a shared flat too. Have a nice evening guys ! Florian

Hey guys, I am applying to the CEMS MIM at Esade. Esade is my 2nd choice after St. Gallen. If my language interview goes well I am confident of gaining admission at Esade!

One thing that I wanted to ask, Esade requires a certified photocopy of my University Transcripts. Where do I need to certify these - at the university itself?

Thanks.

baume7 · Answer

Hi Firewolf! Since you get your official transcripts from your university itself, they should be the ones to make sure that it's certified (in my case, my uni uses a seal/stamp to prove that the transcripts are official)

FireWolf · Answer

Hey baume! Thanks for the info, I did that and sent the documents already. Another thing I wanted to ask about is the Essays. Do we have to strictly adhere to the 30 lines word limit? Or can it be less than/more than that?

Are you doing the MIM programme or the MIM+CEMS?
