Hey everyone! Just created this thread because I've been scouring GMATClub for a discussion thread on HEC September 2018 intake and realized there wasn't one. Anyone applying to HEC for the September 2018 intake or has received a decision for it, please do post an update here. Also, I just got an admit! My profile: Background - Engineering Current Industry - Industrial Automation WE at the time of matriculation - 60 months GMAT - 710 GPA - 7.5 Location - India Target Industry - Technology Heard back via - Email Timeline - Submitted application on 15th September. Pre-selection outcome decision - 22nd September. Finished both interviews in the first week of October. Got an admit on 12th October. Interviews - Both were with alumni, one in my city, other in Philippines. Very conversational interviews, touched upon the regular interview questions - Why MBA, why HEC, post-MBA goals, etc. Feel free to message me directly for any help on the process. NOTE: Once you get an admit and pay the deposit, you get access to the closed FB group. From there you can join a Whatsapp chat group for admitted candidates. HEC Decision Tracker | HEC Reviews

Congratulations! Who did you get an email from? Sent from my SM-N900 using GMAT Club Forum mobile app

A marketing and recruiting manager from HEC Paris. The email just outlined the basic instructions for the presentation and the format of the interview. Sent from my ONE A2005 using GMAT Club Forum mobile app

Just got an interview invite! Have to start working on the presentation. Any ideas/suggestions what topics are best/relevant to present?

Congratulations. Some people have discussed about it previously. It didn't tell me a date for an interview so I don't know when it'll happen. Sent from my ONE A2005 using GMAT Club Forum mobile app

Yeah. Just brainstorming about the topic to choose for my presentation. Extremely confused, I must say.

I got an interview invitation today too. Good luck, all! Sent from my iPhone using GMAT Club Forum

I haven't received any mail from HEC yet. Does this mean that I am done for now ? Do they send out rejection or waitlist mails ? Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using GMAT Club Forum mobile app

They send out emails for rejections as well as waitlists. However, don't lose hope. If the last cycle is anything to go by, you should wait till the 1st. Hang in there

Hi Aditya, can you share your profile? Sent from my Redmi Note 4 using GMAT Club Forum mobile app

Sure. 720 on GMAT, 4 years of work experience in USA in the oil and gas industry and I have a masters already from Penn State University (Smeal) , a lot of international exposure through symposiums and traveling and decent community experience. I haven't gotten a lot of interviews from USA schools despite this experience. I'll be 30 next year so I think that is working against me in the US. European schools in that sense are more liberal. They view an additional masters more positively too. Sent from my ONE A2005 using GMAT Club Forum mobile app
