Hi All,

I have just received my invite to the HEC Paris September intake if 2020. I'll be happy to answer any questions you may have on the admissions process etc.

PS : If there is any whatsapp group for candidates admitted into HEC please add me to it

Hi, potential classmate! Let's see if any other admits join this thread and we can all create a WhatsApp group - I believe you and I are pretty ahead of the curve at the moment.

Are you going to accept?

Hi,

I'm a little late to the party, but I've accepted the HEC Paris September 2020 MBA program. Do let me know for any group for candidates admitted to HEC.

Thanks!

Why is the thread so silent? Have people from Feb 3rd deadline not heard anything after their interviews?

How soon after the deadline do people know whether or not they have been invited for preselection?

Thanks so much for this response.

So you got your preselection result on the 27th Jan and interviewed on the same day?

Is that correct?

Hi. Has anyone who applied on the Feb 3rd deadline received an update from HEC? The result date was 6th March. It's been over a week now.

You can perhaps use the following topic. You can also see who else got into HEC Paris.

Hi CharlieBrown,
Have you been admitted to the September 2020 Intake?
Did you receive the invitation to join the FB group from your admission officer?

Hi, is it necessary to send official GMAT scores using HEC code while applying ? or is it something we can send after getting admitted/interview call?

For Judge, they simply asked for pdf of the official score report during initial application, so I was wondering if HEC has a different policy.

Thanks!

Yes, you will be required to ask GMAC to send your official GMAT result to them (HEC). And that's during your initial application or your application will be marked as incomplete and will not be put forward for preselection.
