I was planning to apply for the R3 for the Mfin, but it’s taking me longer to study the GMAT and get the results that I want, what GMAT score would I realistically need for R4, and what’s the best gameplan in these cases?
Hi @Fernandez2311 , Applying in R4 requires a highly competitive profile as the program tends to fill a significant portion of its class in earlier rounds. A GMAT score of 720+ would significantly strengthen your candidacy, particularly since the admissions committee places strong emphasis on quantitative aptitude for finance applicants. If you are taking longer to achieve your target score, focus on crafting a standout application by emphasizing other strengths such as good academic record, relevant internships or work experience in finance or quantitative roles, and a clear articulation of your career goals and fit with HEC Paris in your essays. Additionally, consider reaching out to the admissions office to inquire if you can submit your GMAT score after the application deadline. If yes, you can finalize your application for R3 without unnecessary delays. Apply when you feel it’s your best shot. Good luck!

Hello adisingh500,

If nothing is specifically mentioned, we assume midnight (in the time zone in which the school is situated); that said, please avoid last minute submissions and technical glitches may often crop up.

Alternatively, you may check this with the Admissions Committee to be doubly sure.

All the best!

Hi everyone, can anyone tell me how long the score obtained with the IELTS test is valid? If it expires after classes start can I still apply or not?

As long as it is valid on the day of the decision release, it should be ok.

Hi MBA guides, I’m from India and planning to apply to HEC PARIS for their Sept’25 intake due to intership opportunities. Does it make sense for international students to apply in R4 that’s in Feb?

Hello,
Does anyone know if we need to send the TOEFL score or just uploading the score report pdf is sufficient?

Hi Persat ! HEC encourages applicants to apply as early as possible, especially if you require on-campus housing or need a student visa. While HEC has a rolling admissions process and doesn’t explicitly disadvantage later-round applicants, applying in earlier rounds is generally recommended for international candidates due to more availability of seats and manage time for other aspects of admission(scholarships, fianance). That said, if you feel targeting Feb deadline is your best option, ensure your application is outstanding in every way - GPA, GMAT/GRE, essays, and LORs. Highlight your motivations for HEC and how you’ll leverage the internship opportunities. Please take a look at this webinar, this would be helpful. Good luck!

If you’d like, we are happy to hop on a 1:1 call with you to learn more about your profile and provide a detailed evaluation. Please feel free to schedule a profile evaluation call according to your convenience.

Cheers!

Hi @shatanik08 ! Usually just uploading the TOEFL score is enough unless they specifically ask for it but you can send it directly to the school later. Best is to double check with the adcom directly for the latest updates.

Persat Schools approach late-round admissions differently, but when it comes to HEC Paris, applying up until Round 4 is fine for international students, provided you have a competitive profile. In fact, HEC operates on a rolling evaluation system, meaning you don’t have to wait until the official deadlines. You can submit your application as soon as your materials are ready and the portal allows, giving you an advantage by getting your profile reviewed earlier.
