Okay.. So I've decided to start a post here since ESSEC announced first round short-listed results for the MSc program.
Let's share what our profiles look like!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For me, I am a Canadian with a CGPA of 3.0/4.0, and a GPA of 3.5/4.0 for the last 2 years of studies (Still in school for my last year).
My major is Mathematics for Commerce, coming from York University.
I fast-tracked my studies, so I am finishing up my honours undergrad (4 year degree) in 3 years.
I had part-time jobs here and there, but I did not say I had any work experience on the application because I didn't consider my tutoring jobs to be professional.
My recommendations were very strong, both coming from senior professors, they all gave me a very nice recommendations.
My GMAT was rather low, 620 overall with 49 in Q and 25 in V. AWA was 4.5, and IR was 6. Since I was cramming my courses during summer, taking overload, I did not have time to study properly. It was taken once, and I just submitted as is.
I was short-listed, and now waiting for the interview.

Hey!
I also think about to apply to essec, but not sure yet whether other business schools in Paris or Lyon are a better decision ...
GMAT is 690, bachelor's degree also pretty good.
Why did you applied to ESSEC and not to HEC, EM Lyon etc?
Best!

Well, I also applied to HEC but only to strategic management (Not Grandes Ecoles).
The reason why I picked ESSEC for Grandes Ecoles, is because this school has the most freedom to choose electives over other schools. I want to run my own company after working for a while at a corporation, so this school is perfect for me. Also I am a Korean-Canadian, so I needed a school that has connections to Asian markets as well. With the Singapore campus, ESSEC is just superior over other business schools in Europe. (And HULT is too expensive for me). I found out that other schools like EM-Lyon or HEC do not have this much freedom compared to what ESSEC has to offer.

). Hult does offer generous scholarships based on merit and financial need, and we have a campus in Shanghai, which would give you extensive exposure and connections to that market. Let me know if you have any questions. Otherwise, best of luck in your studies!
