I got mine as well :) :)
Commitment fee is 5000€ as stated on the IESE website.
Does anyone get decision on scholarship? Do you know when we will hear back on that? I hope before the 17th :?

Hi,

I emailed my Admissions Coordinator for a possible decision on my scholarship application. I was informed that the Scholarship Committee meets every so often and scholarship decisions are determined each time the Committee meets. They will meet until June 2011 and we have until that date to hear news from them.

Did they also tell you whether the first meeting has already taken place? So are there any scholarships given out yet?

Nope. She didn't mention anything about that.

Since we're on this, does anyone of you know where I/we can get financial assistance for the expected living expenses? I am afraid this might be the deal breaker if I am going to pursue IESE or not after getting admitted.

Thanks!

Just blew my interview. :cry:
Definitely bummed.

For anyone else interviewing, remember to nail the: "Why IESE? Why Spain? Why international?" questions. I fumbled this and it really put a negative tone on the rest of the conversation. Overall, much more aggressive than any other interview I've done. My advice: be prepared! This is one of 4 interviews this week, so I guess I was a bit less than ready...

Total let down.

Sorry to hear that. I have my interview tomorrow morning at 10 am.

Where did you have your interview and who interviewed you?? Aside from the questions that you mentioned, what was the overall tone of the interview?? Everything that I have read has said that the IESE interview is more personal in nature than other B-schools.

Good luck with the rest of your interviews!!

I have been invited for another round of assessment day on 26th February at New Delhi, India, post my personal interview with Admission Committee. I have also been asked for a TOEFL score card in spite of my all education being in English. So my final decision has literally being pushed to at least 2-3 months later than what I expected it to be and in comparisons of other schools. Meanwhile anyone has any idea about a rough estimate of what % of people convert this assessment day, the final hurdle! Will love to connect to people who are in similar situation as me!

I've applied for the Dec deadline... submitted my app on 1st Dec
received the received app mail on 2nd but since that test of english is showing as "NO"

Have mailed school that I've sent my TOEFL score on 24th and have also updated in my app so why "NO" over there but no replies till yet....
Anybody facing the same?

Congrats to all those who made it... and best of luck to those who have applied and are waiting.

I interviewed in NYC with an adcom member. The overall tone was pretty contentious, often doubting my answers. Despite my friendly tone and attitude, I walked out with a heavy head knowing that I'll get dinged. It's no big deal though, I nailed the other interviews.

Best of luck to you and everyone else applying.

On average how long does it take the Adcom to review the apps?
