Congrats to all who've been admitted.
Can you all briefly state your profiles?

Also, I'll only have 36 months of WE by September '19. Is that a concern considering their average WE is above 70 months.
This is the only factor that's holding me back from applying for September '19.

Thanks Ben, and good luck with your application. The reason I did not post a debrief is because I think Narayan's debrief post is already comprehensive. The only additional thing I can add here is that the entire process and the admission team (especially Stefanie) are very professional and friendly. From the time of my application submission to receiving the confirmation today, was 3-3.5 weeks. Hope this helps, happy to help if you or anyone else has any additional questions. Cheers, Jay

Hello guys,
I am Shriyek and have applied to the MBS MBA 2020 (intake Sept 2019). So far I have been asked to submit the video presentation and I have submitted the Video Presentation on the 14th of Dec. The Adcom has acknowledged the receipt of the presentation and am still waiting for the result of the review.
Also, Congrats to all that have been admitted into the programme.

Hey guys,

I'm Jose and yesterday I received my admit for Mannheim! I'm looking forward to share the class with some of you. Between, thank you for writing in this forum, it has been really useful during the application process, specially the interview debrief. I can't add much more there since it is perfectly explained by Narayan's. My interviews were a little bit longer though (45-50 minutes). As Jay commented, the admissions team is really profesional and Stefanie always answered my emails in one or two days maximum. Also, the process is pretty fast (about 3 weeks from application).

If you are interested in the school, I would recommend you to apply asap

Good luck for the new applicants

Jose

Hi guys,

I received my admit for Mannheim FT MBA some time back. I know it's a great school, but I'm not sure how bright the career prospects are for a non-European. Any takes on that? If anyone has alumni contacts who're available to discuss the same, please DM me. Need to give back an answer by Jan end.

Also, if there's a whatsapp/facebook group for FT MBA class of '20, please let me know.

Thanks!

Congratulations Swapnil and welcome to the class. I do not know of any Facebook group yet, but there are 6-7 of us from the FT 2020 class who are part of a Whatsapp group, DM me your number if you'd like to be added.

In terms of job prospects, I'm sure you've read the employment report, etc. Job prospects would also depend on your profile, past work ex., your target industries, your proficiency in German among others. I have spoken to a couple of Alumni as well as current students, happy to share what they told me / their contact details if it helps. Cheers, Jay
