Critical Info about HEC Montreal MBA Program


Quote:
It is a one year intensive MBA program that prepares you to start your journey! All students must provide two letters of recommendations preferably from current or ex bosses. It is better not to provide an academic letter of recommendation as MBA is a fully hands on work degree, and it is in direct opposition to master of science or master of art degrees. The GMAT average is around 650 and IELTS or TOEFL is required for international students (also there might be some exceptions). After completing the degree you will be given a one-year post graduation work permit visa. It is important to note that only programs that are more than 24 months of length give you opportunity to get a three-year graduation work permit visa. You can communicate with administration office through mba@hec.ca. Based on current tuition and rankings available HEC has the best return on investment.

Hi,
Can anyone give clarity on the deadline for submission of references? Is it the same as the Round Deadline or the references can be submitted later?

Is it worth applying to HEC for an International Student in R3? I just finished my GRE and IELTS and was wondering if applying to HEC in R3 was a good idea or should I wait for the next year?

As an Indian, earlier is always better because the indian "seats" are filled up quickly. I would encourage you to apply to January batch. If they have room in the Sept batch they will likely extend that invitation; it's also something you can note in additional information.

Hello, members. Is IELTS/TOEFL compulsory for applicants from India? can we get an exception if we provide certificate stating that medium of education throughout was English.
Also, how much is French Proficiency necessary to get a decent placement post MBA from HEC Montreal?
