Hi everyone.

I just came by this thread after a google search. i too applied to the IMBA Nov 2011 batch during the last week of nov. got a interview call from the local admissions office for late december, and i received an admit from the IE ad comm and the Dean's welcome mail just before the start of this year.

i have chosen to accept the admit and do want to pursue the IMBA program. Great to see a few of your guys would probably be my batchmates. herez my profile M/26/4+ year exp in Retail/ India/ GMAT

Is there an online community for the nov 2011 admits. i did see the facebook page, but its not open to post any msgs....
i have recd only 1 communication after the deans welcome which is about the course fee, but it only mentions that i would have to write to someone in the admissions team to reserve a place.

sharan23,

Feel free to request an add to the FB group. It's only private right now because some of the members have not told employers of their intentions yet. I received the same email about the course fee. After you reply to the person stated in the email, you should receive an admissions contract. I look forward to meeting you in November.


Rich

Hi i only found 2011 April FB group, is there one for Nov intake? I have received admission contract and following emails. Do you know when/where we can ask for school aid and bank loan, etc...? (Nov intake requires all tuitions be done by end of 2011, which is a bit of hasty. Should they give us more time to do it?)

According to an interview to an IE admissions rep dated two years ago, she said that 95% of the applicants are invited to the interview. Is that right??? It would mean that there should be lots of dings after the interview as they declare a 5:1 application to acceptance rate.

Do you have other figures for this?

What kind of questions appeared in your interviews? Anyone did it on campus?

Thank you!

Anyone who is torn between whether to join IE or not? I've got admit from IE, Cranfield and St. Gallen. Was wondering if anyone can help me out on the choice?

I'm not yet at that stage but what are your goals? what is your profile? is money a big concern for you? big enough to discard IE? if not, I would go to IE except in specific cases.

Hi,
I have a question for those who are admitted. Once you are admitted, are you required to send any documents (hard copy)? Also, are there any background checks like Kroll which is for US universities?

Hi mba321,
I already sent out all the needed hard copies with my application (certified copies of my diploma and grade transcripts), so there was no need to sent any additional documents.
And no - there is no background check. I guess that they just take your word for it.

Had my interview last Friday on campus.

It was quite friendly. I did not like that it was in her office across the desk and I thought I was asking for a credit at a bank.

I went with a good feeling, but I'm still waiting for an answer.

Afterwards I attended a campus visit with 4-5 more students (Russian, Bulgarian, Portuguese and Egyptian).

We visited some of the buildings, which I knew a few. I felt very impressed with one of them which has a futuristic outlook contrasting with the neoclassical architecture of most of IE offices.

Hi all,

I have been admitted to IE IMBA program for Nov 2011 batch. I got the contract letter to which i need to replay with in 30 days.
Iam still thinking about it. The only thing that concerns me is the placement opportunities after the course.
Can any of you please share more about them?

I talked to couple of Alumni from IE and RSM and the feed back i got program is very good one. Insead was my first choice but I was dinged by Insead.

Hi Guys,

I have received an admit hours ago and besides being excited, I am also a bit skeptical about joining. My major concerns are financing and job prospects.

People who have got an admit from India: How are you arranging for 50Lakhs ? HDFC gives education loan upto 20L only. We can take a loan of 30K Euros from Caja Madrid but than according to IE Rules we can take loan only from one of their partners. So it can be either CAJA Madrid or HDFC. So how are you guys arranging for rest of the fees ??

Rest: I heard that there are few people especially non-Spanish who didn't even get a job this year. Did you guys get a chance to talk to anyone of them ??

2 out of the whole class? it's not that bad. I'm sure they have landed a job yet. About financing, no idea which is HDFC but I thought Caja Madrid was competing with Banca March which are the providers of loans, at least for Spaniards.

Thanks for the response, btw are you sure only 2 people didn't get a job ?

Regarding financing, it is an issue for Indians. Unlike US, European banks don't provide a full loan. As I said Caja only provides a maximum of 30k Euros. I will have to dig up some more for financing options.

No, I don't know anything and the first time I heard about it was in your post.
