Hello for those who were admitted with a scholarship, did you receive the annoucement right after the automatic email with your logins or it can take some time to annouce your scholarship?

Congratulations on your admit offer with scholarship Zein20 ! At HEC Paris, scholarship decisions for MBA applicants are typically communicated within one week after the admission decision. According to the official HEC Paris website, if you are awarded a scholarship, an Admissions Officer will inform you at the time of your final admission decision. Specifically, for the HEC Paris MBA Scholarship for Excellence, decisions are announced one week after admission to the program.

If you haven't received a scholarship notification immediately after your admission, you can wait for up to a week. If no communication is received after this period, consider reaching out to the adcom for clarification. Best wishes : )

Hey crusher97 ! It depends on the individual and how they wish to present themselves. A good suggestion would be to add a touch of creativity that reflects your personality, while still maintaining a clear and structured format in the presentation. Good luck

I’m preparing for the GMAT and aiming for a score of 655 or above. I’m torn between Manhattan Prep’s On-Demand Course and Manya - The Princeton Review’s Live Classes.

If anyone has prior experience with either of these options or can offer advice, I’d greatly appreciate it. Alternatively, if you’d like to connect with me directly, my email is [email protected].

Looking forward to hearing from you and getting some guidance on making an informed decision.

Hi Bhavek,

Applying for MIF, wanted to select my second choice. How is the Masters in Eco and Finance program?

The MEF at HEC Paris is a well-rounded program designed for students aiming to develop strong analytical and practical skills in both economics and finance. It is tailored for those interested in careers in financial services, consulting, or public policy. It emphasizes applied learning through company visits, networking events, and job market preparation. If you take a look at their stats given in the official website, it show a 95% employment rate within 3 months of graduation, with a significant portion of graduates securing international roles. The program attracts a highly international cohort. Compared to the MIF, which is more focused on roles in investment banking, asset management, and private equity, the MEF offers broader exposure, making it a strong second choice if your interests lean towards a mix of finance, economics, and strategic problem-solving. With HEC’s global alumni network, the MEF might be a choice that can open doors across sectors and geographies. Connecting with alumni can provide you with realistic, deeper insights and a more comprehensive understanding of the program. Good luck
