Calling all Erasmus (Rotterdam) MBA Applicants: Jan 2019 Intake

same here. Haven't heard anything from them. I applied on 9th of Apr.
BTW chaban when did you apply?
Did you try to contact the admissions committee?

nothing

Hi,

I had applied in the month of Feb and had got a reply from them that my application will be considered for the 10th April deadline. But yet to hear from them. I have not contacted the admissions team yet.

Thanks for sharing your experience Bhargav! I am planning to apply to Rotterdam. Just starting with my application. How do you find the post MBA opportunities at Rotterdam? Would be glad to discuss with you on the same.

Thanks,

Has anyone who applied to R1 got any response from RSM?

f

No bro, no news from them. BTW, The AdCom are coming to India for QS Leap after mid May, and I have this feeling that they might call for one to one interview, once they start inviting the candidates.

Yeah, you are right. I also think they would do the same.

Anyone connected with the adcom yet?

Hello All,

I got my admission confirmation and letter today. No scholarship though
Feel free to drop in your phone number in https://gmatclub.com/chat if interested.
I shall create a https://gmatclub.com/chat group for the class of 2020.

Best Regards
Bhargav

Yes- my application has been processed with an offer which is made today.

Your assumption could be true to a great extent- because Queen's Canada is doing the same too.

That's great news Bhargav. Congrats on your admit. I guess you must be the first one to be admitted to the 2019 intake.

How much time have they given you to confirm? Are you planning to confirm RSM or evaluating other schools also?

Thank you chaban

They have given me exactly 4 weeks time i.e. 28-May is the last day for paying 5k Eur

I have admits to the other schools too, but any other school above RSM is so expensive that, I will have to sell or kill my self post-MBA to pay back the loan

I am also worried about the living expenses in Rotterdam

I am paranoid and confused

Good that you have 4 weeks. You can think of all the pros and cons and then take the final call.

One query. Does the status on the RSM portal change once your application progresses to interview or admitted stage? Mine still shows "submitted".

Hi bhargav,

Can i know your profile brief. I am aiming for Rotterdam too. I am curious to know the profile of the candidate from India, who got selected recently.

Thank you in advance.

Darknight2 , Firstly apologies- I haven't noticed you on this thread.


My experience with RSM admissions committee has been great. Regarding application, make sure your essays are unique and analyze why did they ask you such strategic questions- for example , the question on " socio-economic conditions that affect your decision making" and so on...

Opportunities(work i suppose) are always a trade-off in the international arena. It depends on the way you network with available resources. The Netherlands is doing well just like Germany (not in terms of size of economy, but in terms of economic activity as a whole).

Hence, I am planning to get into management consulting post-MBA or stick with tech consulting that I am currently in. I am choosing RSM firstly because it is inexpensive when compared to other top 40 programs out side India- ( or a bit similar to ISB). Erasmus Univ. has a great reputation abroad. ( from a point of view of brand equity) - I also have spoken to alumni who got offers before graduation.

So for me I believe its a decent risk to take. Baaki khuda ke haath mein

You can call them and find out your application status. The status doesn't change on the dashboard unfortunately

Sure..Nightmare007

I have 6 years experience in Tech Consulting with decent international experience too ( in Scandinavian countries and English Channels).
I have an undergrad degree in Human Genetics and a GMAT score of 750 with decent number professional accolades. (according to admission committee review during the interview)

Post-MBA, looking for a function change from tech to management - PLAN A else continue working in Tech Consulting - PLAN B.

I received an e-mail today that I will be interviewed shortly. They have not intimated the date yet.

Yes, same for me. I actually enquired with the adcom couple of days back. Today I received a reply that I will be invited for an interview, however no date mentioned. They will get in touch once they have organized an interviewer.

Congratulations All
