Yes, I am going to accept. I did not apply to any other schools as HEC was my first choice, and because of their quick admissions process I still would have had plenty of time to apply to other schools. Those application fees sting!

However my second choices were INSEAD/IMD (both Jan intakes), and my backup choices were IESE and ESADE.

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?

Sure.

I am 33/Indian/Female.
GMAT - 700, Q - 48 V - 38

I am a graduate from National Institute of Fashion Technology. GPA 8.2/10, gold medalist
I have 10 years + work experience in fashion retail working for international premium brands Tommy Hilfiger & Calvin Klein.

MBA Goals - Career acceleration, opportunities to work in the luxury/ lifestyle retail sector.
HEC is my first choice as it has a great alumni network in the sector I wish to work in. Also, I like the course structure with electives/internship etc.

Hi,
Thank you so much for sharing. They have a Luxury trek. Recently, trek people went to different premium wine and champagne makers. You will get to know how they kept their brands premium, maintaining cost and supplies. Also, students from HEC goes to SDA Bocconi for luxury competitions.
It is a great school. They are looking to improve their Women to Men ration in the class ;) ;)

Sure. Going to cut some corners and add the default writeup.

Why HEC:
- Great brand with inroads into consulting.
- strategy elective
- consulting club and consulting practice


Basic bio:
- Nationality: Indian
- Gender: Male
- Age: 28

Academic Details (commerce/business administration):
- Grad: BBA (in Finance) - rough calculation of GPA using the WES scale 3.42
- Post Grad: PGDM (in Finance) from a top-15 school in India - rough calculation of GPA using WES scale 3.37
- GMAT: 720
- TOEFL: 112

Work experience:
- 3 years with a Big 4. I worked with the Risk Advisory Services team in India. I did process risk assessment for several organizational processes for clients across several industries. I also worked with the senior management in Business Development activities for the India operations of the team.

- 3 years (post-PGDM experience) with the Indian arm of a US-based Hedge Fund in the Financial Operations team. I work as a part of the team that serves as a nodal point for internal and external stakeholders.

- While I have managed a couple of small teams for various tasks, I dont have any significant management experience.

International experience:
- In addition to dealing with stakeholders from all over the globe on a daily bases and working as a part of a team spread across various geographies, I also worked at the US office for a period of 4 months.

Extra-Curricular Activities :

- During my postgrad, I was a part of the committee dealing with student exchange programmes.
- I have been involved with the CSR groups in both the organizations.
- Currently volunteer at a local zero-funds volunteer organization that works to get surplus food from restaurants and communities to serve the less fortunate.

Post-MBA plans:
- I plan on leveraging my risk advisory/consulting and financial operations experience in landing a strategy consulting job
