Hello, can somebody advise me on this? I was told to complete my interview before nov 13 but one of my interviewers hasn’t reached out to me till now even after I mailed him twice. I’ve already told the adcom about this but haven’t gotten any reply from them. Will i already be rejected if I’m not able to complete my interview before deadline? Any other way I can solve this issue. I’d be grateful for any kind of help.

You should take help from the admissions officer here, completing an interview on time is crucial. If they can share contact number or something maybe you can connect through it?

randomperson99, they’ve only given me the email of the interviewer and no other contact details. The country where he’s based follows est so i understand it’s difficult but still even after follow up mail I’m not getting any response. Should I mail the adcom?

In any situation where the alumni interviewer is unresponsive, the admissions office should be kept constantly informed. I find it very odd that they have not addressed your concerns. This is not a reason for rejection, but you should continue to remind the AO daily as it is their responsibility to appoint interviewers who will be available to conduct interviews in the coming days. Instead of asking on Linkedin as a last resort, you should write a stern email to the Adcom POCs outlining the situation and your concerns. They will probably get back to you with a new interviewer.

I hope you’re assigned a new interviewer soon/ or your interviewer suddenly becomes responsive. For future candidates, always keep the admissions committee in the loop on any discussions with alumni interviewers regarding interview scheduling. Candidates are often hesitant to send too many updates or queries to the admissions office, but notifying them when an interviewer isn’t available should be a priority.

Hey Kaashvii01 ,

So the GMAT Focus edition is the latest version of the exam. And you can enter the scores where you have to upload the GMAT scores and it has a section to upload the score screenshot from GMAT's website as well.

ISHIKA21 - your profile presents some interesting angles. Some more details can help assess better e.g. which company, details of your work/ projects, have you worked with international teams/ clients, etc.

Though your work-ex is lower than the average of the typical HEC MBA cohort, there are candidates who get in with 2.5-3 years work-ex (as of joining) provided the rest of the profile and motivations for MBA are strong.

Feel free to reach out for a deeper chat.

Regards,
Arvind
ISHIKA21
I am interested in applying for the September 2025 intake for the MBA program.

Profile Snapshot:

• Background: Dentist with a top 2% ranking throughout my graduation years, currently working in excipient sales and marketing.
• Academic Scores:
• GMAT: 675 (V86, Q86, DI79)

• Work Experience:
• Key projects in excipient sales, generating over 2 crore revenue.
• Promoted twice in 24 months, awarded employee of the quarter twice.
• Extra-Curriculars:
. A podium finished in a city-level dance competition and won many inter-college groups and sole dance competitions.
• Social volunteering activities, including dental health camps and NGO work in menstrual hygiene and animal welfare.
• Founder of a thrift store with over 20,000 Instagram followers, along with a letter of recommendation from Urbanic.
• Active member of Toastmasters, working on public speaking and communication skills.

Career Goals: Post-MBA, I aim to join a top or boutique healthcare consulting company to gain deeper insights into the healthcare sector. My long-term goal is to become a leader in healthcare consulting and lead the healthcare sector.

I would be grateful for your honest insights on my candidacy will my fewer years of work experience be a problem?

ISHIKA21 If you have an MBA on your mind, you've strategically chosen an area of work that has set you in the right direction. But is it time for an MBA? I don't know. There are many unknowns in your write-up that I would like to understand to advise you better. For one, who are you currently working for? Are you with a feeder brand or a potential recruiter from HEC? If yes, that positions you well in terms of employability and connections if your plan A in consulting does not work. If you’re working for a new and upcoming player, how have you ideated some out-of-the-box strategies that helped the company grow steeply in the last two years you've worked with them? That will be very critical. Do you have a great rapport with your leadership/founders—enough for them to put in very strong recommendations for you? Can they show a willingness to hire you once you have an HEC MBA?

That aside, what is stopping you from entering healthcare consulting companies? There is likely no dearth of opportunities in pre-MBA roles, and if you can add a consulting experience in the healthcare space, even if just for a year, it would make your profile hard for a highly competitive program to reject.

You must understand that European B-schools are somewhat critical of candidates applying with less than the desired experience. Those who do get selected from this pool often come from consulting or can show they have gained years of experience, with variety in terms of industry or project exposure, in each year they've worked with their employer. Will you be able to showcase the same? In any case, feel free to have a detailed chat.

Best wishes

Congratulations!!

I also wanted to check if it seems like a good idea to apply in R4 (Dec 16 deadline) for Sept 2025. I was not able to work on my application on the earlier rounds, and I am not sure if there is a major difference in rate of acceptance between the rounds. Would appreciate any insights on the same.
