Hey abhi.. application plays an important role.. there is no SOP for WHU but a series of questions in the personal statement that would help you make the cut to the interviews...

Hey Abhi..

The good part about WHU SOP is that it is not one long ~500 word answer that they expect out of you. There are series of questions which are very specific and lead you onto answering the basics:
Why MBA,
Why now,
Why WHU,
What after?


The text box has some space limitations but IMO you can answer coherently

Hope this helps.

Hi,

I have an admit from WHU and HHL and I need to make a decision this week. I'd like to know if there's anyone else who was in the same position and what factors did they consider before making a choice

Congrats! Can you share your profile?
When did you apply? And which is the last day for the deadline? Also did they offer you any scholarship?

Hi all, congratulations to everyone that got in! I have some queries that I really need help with, and I would be really thankful if anyone can help me out here:

I am looking to apply to the MBA September 2019 intake. I'm an Indian male engineer and I have 5 years of work exp (not totally IT) along with 670 on the GMAT. I want to know about the chances someone with my profile has with WHU, some essay tips and post MBA prospects.

Thank you all for your time!!
