Hey, did anyone here get into IE University for their MiM program? Also, did anyone get into any schools through "Join a School in France"?
You may always post your question here and someone should be able to answer it 🙂

Hello, I have been accepted into IESE's MiM and ESCP's MiM program. I have also received a scholarship of 15000 Euros for IESE and no scholarship for ESCP.

I am really confused about which one to pick. The total cost for ESCP is around 80000 euros and around 50000 euros for IESE.

Is ESCP worth almost double the cost? How does IESE MiM compare with ESCP?

I am Indian and plan to work in europe post master's.

Before answering your question... let me ask you a few so that I can make it more clear
1. Did you apply to ESCP or IESE just based on the name or courses ?
2. ⁠Where do you want work in Europe post masters ( preferred ) ?
3. ⁠ESCP has the 1 year apprenticeship track..which pays half the fees(did you check that ? )

In Europe the job search is central and even if your school is in Spain you can get an internship in France or somewhere within Schengen ( it’s your skills and networking that matters)

1. I have considered both while applying, ESCP is best known for its MiM program, whereas IESE is best known for its MBA and its MiM program is relatively new, but IESE has the case method, which I am really drawn to.
2. I like spain as a country, but I would get more opportunities in France and Germany. But I am not fixated on one, I am willing to move anywhere I find good opportunities.

3. Yes I have considered the apprenticeship option. I have been told that ESCP has strict french proficiency requirements. And earlier companies used to get tax benefits for hiring apprentices, and that benefit has been removed recently, so I assume that's gonna affect the apprenticeship opportunities.

The decision is tough for me because both are good schools. But IESE has a newer program and ESCP costs me almost double

Okay !
1. If you are drawn to the case method you should opt for IESE (or else you would be striving for two years in a course that wouldn’t add much value )
2. ⁠in France , to get any good job ( like consulting , marketing etc which are client facing you would need a proficiency in French ) and in Spain as well.
3. Please share the link of the information about the apprentices information as I don’t have any idea on that ( afaik my company is actively looking for alternances...some schools have increased the fees so the company might not be able to give full fees benefits )

Apart from that the choice would be yours to make keeping this points in mind..I cannot ask you to choose a school because I think it’s good ( my goals are pretty different than yours and for everyone as well I guess)

I was told that by a student studying at ESCP

If I find it, I'll definitely share

Let’s not take word of mouth for now ! Otherwise it would create some unwanted anxiety among admits and applicants

Yes, thank you. I know there isn't a wrong choice here. But only a better one, and that's personal. But is Escp worth double the cost?

Hey everyone! Looking for honest guidance from people who’ve been through the MiM application process 🙏

About me:
- Indian, 20 years old
- B.Com at a Panjab University affiliated college (non-elite)
- Sem 1 SGPA: 5.9 | Pending papers in Sem 2 & 3 (working on clearing them as already gave re appear exams as I had health issues and family stuff)
- ACCA: 3/13 papers done (Applied Knowledge level and paused for now due to toxic mentor and bad institution )
- Targeting MiM Sept 2027 at HEC Paris, ESSEC, INSEAD, ESCP, emlyon
- GMAT prep ongoing, target August 2026 through e-GMAT
- Cannot do in-person activities right now — fully remote accept for I have signed up in local NGO
- Also writing e-book and starting YouTube for documentary, experience sharing, giving knowledge on things I know or learning
What I need help with:

1️⃣ What extracurriculars actually matter for top MiM applications when everything has to be remote? (Forage, Inside LVMH, online consulting projects etc — am I on the right track?)

2️⃣ Is hiring an admissions consultancy worth it for a non-elite Indian profile? If yes, which ones actually helped you for French MiMs specifically?

3️⃣ How do I handle the pending papers and non-elite college story in essays without it hurting me?

4️⃣ Any general advice for someone 15 months out with this profile? And I am targeting R1 and R2

Really grateful for any guidance please and how to use cold emails, LinkedIn for my case and any particular people to connect
