Hi,

I wanted help from the forum for IMD essays...

In essay of WHY IMD, if I want to compare IMD with HEC Paris, what could be strong points to mention to give HEC Paris second priority??

Thanks

Hi all, have applied for IMD's Jan Intake via the Asia Assessment Challenge. It was a crazy Assessment day on Apr 24th, whereby we had to work in groups and come up with a business pitch. However, not sure what IMD judges were looking for, and how would they be shortlisting the candidates. As a candidate, I feel I did not get to explain to IMD my motivations, background vs the essay route. Anyone has a similar experience?

Hi,I am considering the IMD mba but was shocked when I saw the admissions deposit requirements(30k chf), for the 1st and 2nd installments. I think its sky high! Do all admits actually pay the deposit or is there some kind of concession the school occasionally gives?
