Calling all EDHEC MiM-FE applicants (Sept 2017 intake | Class of 2019)

Question

Hello everyone!

We can use this post to interact with all the fellow applicants or the lucky ones to be admitted for the Sept 2017 intake. This would ease the process of moving to Nice, France and to build a network beforehand.

I am from India and currently working for an IT company. Yes, I am selected for MiM and will join somewhere around August-september. The only preparation I have done is join a french language class. Other than that, I'll begin searching for accommodation in April.

Hey,

They are very fast with the results so as soon as you move ahead with your application, you will get the response in two days. After the interview, the final acceptance result is provided within a week.

I applied for FE track so I'll just share whatever information I have. MiM BM is a regular course where you regularly attend all the classes in the school whereas in apprenticeship track, you are in contract with some company and work there. Simultaneously, you just attend 2 or 3 days in college. I would suggest that if you are a fresher, go with the apprenticeship track as it will provide you with some WE before applying for a job after the course.

Hey, guys! Can you help the rest of us sharing your experience about interview? We will be very very very grateful

abhinavshah · Answer

Sure Katie! I have written down all the questions which were asked to me. 1. A situation where there was any conflict in your team and how you managed it? 2. A challenging situation where you had to complete the task in a given deadline. 3. Any situation where you influenced your peers and the impact that it created. 4. Any incident where you were nearing deadline and had to complete the task successfully. 5. How did you handle any critical situation and made the best of it. 6. Any other comments you want to add. You are given specific time for every answer and you have to record it over the SONRU application. It's a new concept so be prepared to adapt by attending practice questions and listen to the guidelines carefully. Hope this helped.

Thanks a ton for taking time out and writing this.

I had a few queries, So the interview is not live/Face to face on skype? This seems like a TOEFL speaking section.

KatieKat · Answer

Thank you so much! 
I am going to submit my application after I will get my IELTS result (in one week)

abhinavshah · Answer

No, they will send you a link where you need to log in and then start the application. They will guide you first on how to attend and answer each question and then you can begin the actual interview. The weird thing is that you have no idea if your answer is likable or not because no interviewer is present so you can not judge how it will be taken.

abhinavshah · Answer

You are welcome Katie.

you can submit your application now as well and then send the IELTS result later on. The benefit is that they would evaluate rest of your application and when you submit your ielts result, you'd get the final answer really soon. Posted from my mobile device

Edhec is 3year program with an internship during the gap year. Without the internship, one can't move forward in the program? Is everyone in the program get an internship?

Why did you guys choose to join edhec? Why not the others? Can a 315+ gre good enough for edhec?

Nextyear · Answer

Im choosing France because of this gap year as im a Fresher. The gap year is optional I think, You decide whether you need it or not. You have to find your own internship, The college helps you with the networks and career services.

Yes 315 is enough for EDHEC, But GRE is a small part of the application.

abhinavshah · Answer

Hello Lasya, EDHEC is 3year program with an internship during the gap year. Without the internship, one can't move forward in the program? Is everyone in the program get an internship? The gap year is mandatory and we have to work to get a good internship. We have an option to take two internships of 6 months each OR you can take up a summer course of 6 months and an internship of other 6 months. "Everyone gets an internship?", well that's debatable and I don't think anyone can comment on that. Why did you guys choose to join edhec? Why not the others? Can a 315+ gre good enough for edhec? EDHEC is renowned and premier school in France and known very well in Europe. Moreover, the FE course is a dual degree course where we will also get the degree of MiF and EDHEC ranks 4th in the world for that.

And yes, I think 315+ GRE score is enough.
