Hi aanchalxxxx
It's not too late. International students can apply till July deadline comfortably. You will have enough time to get admit, arrange funds and do other formalities. Upcoming deadline is June 8. Remember HEC application is lengthy and takes time. All the best

Hi everyone. My recommeder wont be able to submit by June 8th deadline. The next deadline happens to be August. Is it too late for an international student to apply for Aug deadline? Will it effect the scholarship that might be awarded?

Hi SSHebbar ..
What is the reason that he/she can't submit? He/She can do so from his personal email also. Did you think to ask someone else?
You can talk to your regional director and ask his/her opinion. Share that you have tried various possibilities and if they can allow some extension for 1 recommender.

August round for international applicants is going to be challenging in every aspect. From getting an admit to visa, housing, and other formalities.
Have you considered applying for Sep'21 intake? The applications will start in Aug'20.

I Just got Admitted for the J21 intake, my final decision was delayed almost a week. I am still on the INSEAD process. Do you think HEC Paris will granted me a two weeks deposit extension to make my final decision?
