Hi All,

After reading the comments on this forum about IE mba loan options, I couldn’t find any loan for international applicants that doesn’t need co signer.

I am EU citizen and aiming to apply one loan for living costs max £30k and another loan for tuition fees.

Does anyone know which loan provider is the best?

Thanks
Knelle

Hi everyone! Submitting my application for the IE MiM in the next two days. I am a final year student finishing my BBA in Sports Management from India. GPA is 6.93, which is actually among the top few in the class as the grading system is quite tough.
WE: 10 months spread across 4 internships. Mostly Marketing roles.
GMAT: 730 (Q49 V41 IR 8 AWA 6)
Have applied for the Sales and Marketing Track.

Extra stuff:
Represented the UAE Under-19 National Cricket Team
Headed the Marketing committee of my college's first sports fest
Lived in various countries growing up - Nigeria, UAE, India

Could anyone give some feedback on my profile? Anything is appreciated.

Also, any tips for the Kira Interview?

I am in almost the same situation a year later, I have an offer and a scholarship but as Euro is touching 90 rupees against Indian exchange rates, it is difficult to find loans and financing. Prodigy has just disappointed me.

Hi All,

I just got admitted into IE Business school for Jan 2020 intake. Anyone here who want to share their interview experience or application status or admission status are most welcome. Also, I am seeing for funding options for my course fee (EUR 72,000). I am from India and if anyone knew any choice of funding organizations please do let me know.

Hi, can you please recommend the better option out of the video, essay and presentation mode to answer the essay question?! This would be of really great help

Hi,

I chose video format to answer the essay. Through a video, I can show my communication skills, expressions, my thought process, etc. As I've opted for language test exemption, I chose video format to clear their queries.
