Woah, the first I have heard that US market is tougher than UK market!

US market is doing better than UK in terms of Jobs. But that would include you studying in US bschool. Any bschool in Europe, it wouldbe super hard to get in US jobs, as geography matters a lot. Simple equation = why would they hire someone from Europe, when they can take people from US Bschools, also US Visa is a lot tougher to get

Hi,

The HEC website mentions that they "strongly recommend" that applicants have at least 60% (corresponding to 83%tile) in each section on the GMAT focus edition. I have an overall 675 on the focus, but only 59%tile on the quant with 5 incorrect questions. Should I still consider applying?

Also, it would be great to hear from someone who has secured an admit with a similar quant score.

Hey, I have a gmat score of 685 but only 57%ile in Verbal. I got the admit in R2. They look at your profile holistically but if you feel that the quant score doesn’t reflect your abilities you can justify the same in optional essay. I also did the same for my verbal score

darklord_kakarot - Invites are typically sent 1-2 weeks after the deadline. I'm noticing a slight delay in this round though, so hang in there - you're in the game until you hear back.

Hi,

So after I took the profile evaluation from HEC, I received the following response:
"GMAT/GRE Test:
Congratulations! We have reviewed your results, and your score not only qualifies for our program but also surpasses our average. Well done!

Professional Experience:
When evaluating your application, we take your professional background into consideration. We look for career progression and proof that you have excelled in your current role. Having reviewed your experience, we find that your professional background aligns well with the requirements of our program.

Summary:
We feel your profile is an excellent fit for the HEC Paris MBA Program. Your background not only shows potential for success but also promises to add significant value to our MBA class."

Does this suggest something about my prospects or is this a standardized response from their end?

Well, we have the same gmat score so the comment about the gmat score can make sense. Idk about the rest though. Did you get in?
