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

When I'd applied in September, the admissions team clarified that the deadline is midnight French time, so I think you can assume the same applies to all deadlines.

Hey all, Had my interviews yesterday. I found them to be extremely rigorous, and I have no indication whatsoever whether my interviewers were impressed or not. Does anyone know the typical acceptance rate after interview? I imagine it must be reasonably high as I'm sure HEC wouldn't waste alumni time with a large set of 'rejectable' candidates. Anyone else have any stories of their interview experience? Thanks!

I had my interviews in the past 2 weekends. 1 was considered rigorous, the other was more of an informal chit chat. I couldn't tell if they were impressed or not either :/ Fingers crossed for 9 Feb! Just 4 more days!

Good to know I'm not alone in that. Fingers crossed, best of luck to you!

Any update on the final selection for the Jan 1st deadline and pre-selection for the Feb 1st deadline?

Hello, I submitted on 17th Jan, which means it'll be considered for the Feb 1st deadline. Any idea within how many days they start sending out invites? What's the general timeline from deadline to the first batch of interview invites? Thank you. Posted from my mobile device
