Hi Everyone,

Greetings!

I had applied to the Full-Time MBA Program at ESADE in the R3 Deadline (11th Jan 2022). I had my interview with Ms Ursi Van Der Herten. It was a pleasant and conversational experience. She told me that the Admissions Committee would meet this Thursday (17th Feb 2022), and I would get to hear my result on Monday (21st Feb 2022). However, she told me that in addition to 'Acception' and 'Rejection', there is also a status of 'Waitlisted' which may be given to a candidate. She also told me that ESADE takes around 20-22 Indian candidates every year. This year, there has been a rise in the number of Indian applicants; around 15-17 Indian candidates have already been enrolled on the program.

I wish to kindly check with other applicants whom Ursi has interviewed if this information about the 'Waitlisted' status shared with every candidate that she interviews or is this an indirect way of her telling me what I should be expecting?

I am eagerly awaiting your responses!

Thanks & Regards,
Anshul Kakria

Thanks for providing all the detail. ESADE put a lot of Indian candidates on the waitlist. However, you can see from this thread that 14 Indians already got an offer, and most of them already accepted the offer. I was on the waitlist last year, and I can say from my personal experience that it is very painful being on the waitlist. Since the decision on your application has not come yet, let us hope for the best.

It generally takes a week. ESADE is fast in processing applications. However, as I mentioned earlier, you should not worry about these. ESADE is not super strict with documents. If someone is missing, they will get back to you and provide an alternative too. You may drop a personal message to me in case you need further information.

Hello everyone, I just got the interview invite from ESADE. Did anyone here interview with Annemie Peeters? She seems like an external interviewer.

I'm a but confused with the mail. The mail says the following:
"The Admissions Team would like to invite you to the Official Interview.

As Ursi Van der Herten is already assessing your application we would like to involve another point of view to your selection process that could add an extra value to the decision-making:

Allow me to introduce you to Mrs. Annemie Peeters, who will be conducting your Official Interview."


I'm confused when they say "another point of view". So does this mean I'll be interviewed twice? Again with Ursi Van der Herten?

Sounds like you’ll have 1 interview with Annemie. Have you chatted with Ursi before for informational interviews or calls?

Nope I haven’t spoken to Ursi or anyone else from ESADE. Just spoke to a lotta alums

And participated in mba open day and other info sessions

How many days do we have to schedule the interview date? And is it okay to schedule for a date that’s few weeks later?

I guess they are more selective with Indian candidates now. There are already a lot of Indians admitted.

Yeah, there's Indians everywhere and the admit pool tends to be higher...they know not all of them will accept their admits...some might even defer...so the admit pool includes backups I guess

Yeah, ESADE seems to have a pretty good TAT. I got a mail on 11th Feb saying all docs verified and all good. So that's exactly 1 week.

Thanks for this reply. I need to find time for my brother's wedding preparations as well. So I was just wondering, if its okay to choose a later date.

I haven't heard an external person (non-adcom, non-alum) conducting an MBA interview. Is this normal?
