Calling all HEC Paris MBA Applicants Sep 2025 Intake

Trying to connect with September 2025 intake admits. Would love to know if there is a group.

Hi, has anyone got back a reply for R4 applications ?

I am still waiting for my R3 update? Have emailed them a week back. No response yet 😑

Hi, can anyone share letter of recommendation questions for HEC’s MBA program.

LOR questions
1) How long and in what capacity have you known the candidate?
2) If this is a work-related reference, in what position is/was the candidate employed and for how long?
3) What do you consider to be the candidate’s principal strengths/talents?
4) What do you consider to be the candidate’s weaknesses or areas that need improvement?

Is there a https://gmatclub.com/chat group created for those who have been admitted?

Why does gmat club replace wh a tsapp with their own link?

https://chat.https://gmatclub.com/chat.com/CUZEISP6s3ZBGmGrYDXAdd

Yes v weird... there is a group for admitted guys

https://chat.https://gmatclub.com/chat. Xcom/CUZEISP6s3ZBGmGrYDXAdd

If we replace ’gmatclub.com’ with ’https://gmatclub.com/chat’ - it works..

Ugh 😂

Hi everyone,

I’m planning to apply for the HEC Paris Master’s in Marketing and currently have 3+ years of ongoing work experience. However, I recently received an email stating that the maximum work experience allowed to apply for this program is 3 years.

Does anyone have more information about this? I couldn’t find any mention of such a requirement on their website. Would really appreciate any insights or advice.

Thanks in advance!

Hi all! Which MBA program is stronger and more reputable: Oxford, Cambridge or HEC Paris? I have offers from all three, with Cambridge and HEC Paris providing scholarships and costing roughly the same, both over $20,000 cheaper than Oxford. My post-graduation goal is to work in consulting or big tech. Any recommendations or insights you can share would be greatly appreciated

Hi all, I submitted my app today for the R3 but my recommenders are yet to submit their answers. How much time do I have?

Can I request admissions team to grant 1 weeks time ?

Hello ankitasharma88,

The website does say that it is for those with little or no work experience; hence, with 3 years of work experience, you will either be ineligible or not the best fit.

All the best!

Formigalouco Congratulations on the fantastic admits! I would say that Oxford and HEC Paris MBAs are similarly positioned (at least in my view). If you are a non-EU/UK native, the UK admits have a special charm due to the graduate visa. Consider whether this is an important factor for you or not. Please note neither is big with MBB firms. Consulting recruitments are domain specific. On the big tech front, hiring has slowed down somewhat, but things will likely be different by the time you graduate. I think you should go with the program that appeals to you the most rather than nitpicking about prestige differences, as there isn’t much to discuss on that front. If I were you, I would choose between Oxford and HEC Paris, leaning more toward Oxford. I have also been loving Oxford's impact focus (if that somehow connects with your future aspirations). HEC, on the other hand, has a well-paced immersive MBA with lots of opportunities to travel, network, and study abroad in the US, which some of my mentees have taken advantage of, and loved.

Hi everyone,

I am planning to apply for the HEC Paris MBA program. I am confused between September 2025 and January 2026 intake. Which application will have more chances? Round 4 for September or Round 1 for January?

Round 1 of Jan 2026 intake...
