thanks kuralaysn and AnubhavK
I have 700 gmat, 116 toefl, 4.5 yrs of experience - 2.5 in an IT company and 2 yrs as a Business strategist and Operations manager in a printing and packaging company.
My interview was mostly case discussion based. They gave me a scenario where I'm handling a strtaegy for a new startup and how would i proceed with that in india, plus the pros and cons of it. Nothing apart from that

Wow, that is an impressive profile! Again congrats!
Could you please be more detailed about selection process? Did you have only one interview? Do they give you a study case ahead or on interview? when talking about strategy do they expect you to know book terms or you mostly refered to your work experience?

Hey.. thanks again! there was only one interview.. case study was not given in advance.. it was more like they gave me a startup and asked my reviews on it plus how effective would it be in Indian scenario and what could make it profitable, its operations, processes and more of a general discussion. German colleges would not look for bookish knowledge, they'll always want to know the real time response to a particular situation. I gave interview for WHU and found the same.

shehzade11 - Thanks for sharing the details. I only have a couple of questions.
Since, you are already gone through the process recently, it puts you into a better position to share details about the application processes with German B-schools. We have a fair bit of understanding what they perhaps look for, but just seeking help/advice. Can you please share your thoughts on the following:
- How likely are the International candidates preferred who speak fluent German language, or have attained international certifications recognised by Germany's preferred language institute ie. Goethe, Euro Lingua?
- Is the candidature considered strong-er when you have an international experience compared to someone who never worked internationally (not outside their respective nation)?
- Preference should be given to obtaining LORs from German co-workers (at peer level as well as folks you functionally report to) or someone you work with directly on the similar ground, could be a CXO in the native country.
- Best source of arranging finance for your MBA program such as Prodigy Finance, etc.. What is the APR? Terms of repayment? Any thoughts
I can circle back with more questions, in the meantime I leave you with the food for thought.
Hope this will help candidates a lot while they undergo the application process.

Thank you again! 
), but overall my class has people from a different background including arts, commerce, business and different nationalities. Everyone is different from the other in one way or the other and that is what I feel is the biggest strength of HHL, you get to know a lot of different cultures and working styles. The courses are also designed to have maximum intercultural interactions and there you will face real-time challenges like creating a presentation and everyone is having different ideas and now you all have to work together to come to a common solution. It is fun as well.
