Hi, I recently got an admit from Mannheim. Below is a brief of my experience with the admission:
I started early, Oct 1st week was when I submitted my application. Within a week I got the request for submission of video presentation. Post that I waited for a good month and a half to receive my first selection interview invite. Had my second selection interview 3 weeks after that but I received the final confirmation within 3 days post the interview.
Interview experience:
1st selection: It was mainly about my motivation to join Mannheim, why Germany, why MBA, why now and a bit about my work experience and the type of work that I have done so far. This was with the admissions officer.
Final interview: This was with someone from the career cell. This included a case study (that I received about a week before the date of interview) and questions to assess my motivation and whether I would fit in the German job market post-MBA. Whether I have thought of it and to what extent.
Hope this helps and I would definitely like to connect with other applicants.
PS: I am not very active on the forum, there might be some delay in response.
