Hey guys,

I started drafting the essays for the application and was wondering if there are any who are targeting the early decision round which is due Sep 4th. Also I couldn't find essay prompt analysis anywhere yet, so wondering if anyone has made any progress.

There are the below two questions in the prompt. Wondering what the school is expecting from the first question.

Essay Question I: How do you expect to be changed by your experience at IESE and what impact you would like to make after your MBA? (word limit 300 max)

Essay Question II: What are your short and medium term post MBA career goals and how will IESE help you achieve them? (word limit 300 max)

Thank you.

Good to hear.
Now I know everyone is going to be running around super anxious... here’s something to make next week bearable: they don’t do calls the week after the AD, so no need to be nervous next week: you will not get a call.

Oh. Is this applicable even for people attending AD on 23rd. The final date for R2 is 1st March and so I thought the calls will happen between 25th and 28th.

regards,
Krishna


Damn, you are ofcourse right...
Unsure there. I’m sure you’ll get your call by the 1st. But I have a feeling someone forgot that feb has 28 days.

On a hunch I’ll say you will probably get the calls 27, 28 or 01
Committee would get together on the 25th, first workday after the AD, to discuss.

Hi Guys,

I have the same question about when to expect the decision.. People admitted during R1 did receive the call on Dec 4th? or some did receive it some days before?

And also if you are denied, how do they notify you? through email?

Hi njesus,

Thank you for sharing this. All the best! Any piece of advice for us. I am going to attend AD at Singapore on 23rd.


Hello krishna1988,

They will be evaluating you based with the interaction with other candidates, so try to be participative in group discussions. For our AD there was also a group presentation, so be prepared for it as well.
And that same cliché tip: Be yourself. Don't try to force something you're not.
And also, have fun. The whole event was very enjoyable and the school tries to emulate a school day, so you can have an idea how it works.

Hope it helps. If any specific question, you can also PM me.

Thank you! So I'm a 25-year-old Indian male, living in Dubai, UAE
I've worked in fashion retail for a little over 4 years. Applied in R2, went to the AD in Barcelona. Just let me know if you'd like to know anything else.

In my case (applied ED, but had to do AD so admitted R1), scholarship info was included with the decision.
Some others have received notice that they’re under consideration for a scholarship during future rounds.

Has everybody who attended the AD at Barcelona heard back one way or the other? I attended the AD but I also interviewed after the AD on the 20th and haven't heard anything as yet. I was just wondering if any rejections have been sent out as yet? A little antsy at this point.
