It would be great if you can ask the current student to provide more details on this. Maybe ask him/her to write a review here on IE. I appreciate you reporting the information here but as it stands now, without any further details, it is dubious.

Interesting you post that, what section are you? I cannot believe that someone would create a profile to slander its own MBA, I find incredibly unintelligent, but hard to be surprised these days.
I am a current student, January Intake and a Gmat club member for several years. The MBA is an incredible career boost and even though things have been extremely hard with the Covid Crisis we have all pushed ourselves to grow as a community and make the most of the experience. The university has acknowledged its shortcomings in terms of the rankings situ and they are working extra hard to help us all to get the best possible experience during the MBA and once we graduate.
I hope you can clarify why you have such a negative experience and offer some genuine feedback, I do not support your statements at all.

Hi,
As I am International student, i am more worried about post mba opportunities and also this is a new program by IE.
Do you have any idea or any info about post mba opportunities?

Hey!

I am an international student, as well.

The fact that it is a new program for sure that sets some uncertainties, but there is also the fact that there is a real need to have better-prepared leaders in technology, so the Tech MBA fills a need in the market.

If your market is Europe or Latin-America, I don't think it would be an issue. Because of the school's reputation and because the program has many opportunities to do networking with technological companies in Spain. You have technology treks, your thesis can be based on a real-world problem, and many professors and board members have executive positions in many technological companies (e.g.: IBM).

So I had my interview yesterday with the associate director of admissions. It was a good discussion and very well conducted. There was no "tell me about yourself" which I appreciated immensely as it did seem like he had went through my profile. Started off with what values of IE I identified with. Why IE? Discussion about IMBA and TechMBA. Some questions around my interest in tech. AI/ML related questions - how to explain to a grandparent, how will you get them to invest, what will be the benefits. Few questions on digital transformation - what are some successful examples and what will be some obstacles if I were to be charge of such an activity.

That's all I remember sadly, I have poor memory but the interviewer was great. I was open and honest and he seemed to appreciate that. Finally I was given time to ask questions. All in all it took an hour although at the beginning the expectation was to wrap up in 40 mins.

The interview debrief here really helped me. I didn't do any other preparation - my job workload did not allow me to as well. But they are not looking for right answers but trying to judge the thought process and critical thinking ability. The interview was a fun experience, I was nervous going into it and credit to the interviewer to put me at ease from the beginning by not being intimidating and properly introducing himself and setting the tone of the discussion at the beginning.

Edit: oh there were also questions on what I thought were gaps in my application/skillset and what would make me a good batchmate and what an ideal batchmate would be from my perspective.

Edit 2: and on startup and entrepreneurship.. I am editing this as I recall moref stuff :-)




Can you explain a bit on the techmba part??

Hey Guys !

I am planning on applying to the January 2022 intake and wanted to take inputs from students or applicants in the past.

1. Is it the right time to apply to ie for the Jan intake or is it a little late?

2. The about you questions sounds quite confusing in itself, have students in the past used it to answer the Why Mba and post MBA goals bit or is it entirely about the personal life of the applicant and the challenges faced in it?

3. Can someone share the kind of KIRA questions IE has asked. Wanted to understand this because in case they ask about the why mba and career goals questions there, I would not want to put in the same content twice.
