Hello,

WHU MBA is offered by Otto Beisheim School of Management in Germany and is one of the top ranked course in Germany for MBA.
It is placed after Mannheim & ESMT for MBA's in Germany.

It has applicants all over the world and has a class intake of ~50 members for April & September every year.

Regards,
Madhusudhan Reddy

Thanks for the prompt reply. I've added the program in forum database so that people can add it on their profiles. Applicant stats and app updates can also be seen in the first post. Good luck to all WHU MBA aspirants.

Hi buddy, I am applying to WHU. Is it fine if we connect privately/msges. If yes, it would be great if you can msg me your email id so that I can seek guidance from you.
Thank you

Hello,

For profile evaluation, I would suggest to avail CV Check service provided by the adcom on the website. Adcom will be in the best position to give a reply to you regarding your candidature. For essay tips, I think you can easily find resources on the internet to write concise essays. For post MBA prospects, check their career services section. Also, chat with an alumni (eg. on Linkedin) who has his/her current profile aligned to your post MBA goals. They will be in a better position to help you.

Thanks kratosrage for helping out new applicants with your great advice. I appreciate your efforts!

I've always wondered how WHU and most other 1 yr MBA programs from Europe help students who are looking to career switch after MBA. I don't think you get internship in these programs, right?

From what I have read, you need to do an internship after your MBA if you're doing a function/sector switch.

Just came across this blog post on GMAC's blog. Does that mean WHU was not accepting GMAT scores for the evaluation earlier?

GMAC Welcomes Three New Business Schools to its Membership

ESCP Europe, WHU – Otto Beisheim School of Management, and Xavier University Bhubaneswar provide expertise and insight to support the GMAC mission. The addition of these three new schools brings total membership to 225.

“GMAC continues to strengthen our membership of graduate business schools that are not only working to address the changing needs of students, but also understanding the landscape and what can be done to better prepare students for their careers,” said Sangeet Chowfla, president and CEO of GMAC.

Select business schools are invited to apply for GMAC membership by its Board of Directors. Each school goes through a comprehensive application process that addresses the sustained commitments to supporting GMAC’s mission: providing the tools and information necessary for schools and talent to discover and evaluate each other.

Every business school needs an analytical evaluation of applicants and they tend to use GMAT scores. WHU is no exception. It has always accepted GMAT. The article states that WHU will now also help GMAC with data such as how global their classrooms are, how many students changed their job function, role, country etc.
