For SAI schools - HEC, ESCP, EMLyon, Audencia Nantes & Skema

Hello! Does Anyone knows which is the minimum GMAT scores to get into a Master at these schools? Thank you very much!

I don't think a minimum score is explicitly mentioned. You can check the SAI FAQ here https://www.sai.cci-paris-idf.fr/faq/

Check the MIMCompass website for a detailed analysis of this issue.

You can try asking the school's admissions team.

There is nothing as an absolute minimum cutoff for schools.
GMAT is just a part of the whole application, and there are a number of ways to make up for a low GMAT score ( excellent extra-curriculars, some great achievement..to name a few)
Schools tend to take a lot into consideration while giving you an admit, so just a mediocre GMAT score will not spoil you chances if your profile is really good. Of course if you have a score below 620 dont even bother applying to schools such as HEC or ESCP. But anything above 650 will at least make sure your application is considered and evaluated.

Average GMAT scores of students admitted in the schools(according to my experience) would be:

HEC: 700
ESCP :690
Emlyon:650
Audencia & Skema: 620-630

Hope the answer helped.

You can apply to a single school and the score will reach to all 5. I did that and it did happen this way only. I am in a post interview situation fro SAI right now awaiting for my result if you have any query regarding the admissions go ahead and let me know i will be happy to help.

What is the difference between applying to HEC Paris directly and applying through the SAI. Is it that you have a higher chance of getting admitted if you apply directly?

Hi,

I have sent my GMAT score via code but still can't find the code to send my TOEFL score to SAI. Could somebody please help me out here?

Hey Ankita3579,

Through the SAI application, you will be applying to 5 different colleges simultaneously. Another added advantage of applying through SAI is that these 5 schools can be split into Dream, Competitive and Safe; so with strong essays and a strong application you are more or less guaranteed an admit. Hence, that would be the more economical option.

On the flipside, you are required to submit 4 short essays of 500 characters each in your SAI application. This is a small space to include all your life’s work, hence you will need to scrutinize every word of your application, making sure that it adds value in some way or the other.

If you apply to HEC directly, then you will have to write 8 short answers of 1000 characters each. Hence you will have a better chance of showcasing your profile to the admission committee, since you’ll have more space to explain your accomplishments, your skills, and the impact you created in your work experience, college communities, etc. Adding to that is the fact that you can choose either one of 2 degrees with one application.

Also, bear in mind that HEC is a very competitive school. Hence, they look for holistic applicants who have consistently created impact and excelled in academics and work.

I am interested to know if applying separately to the schools will have an edge over the SAI application. I understand that there is margin to explain our essays in a better manner in separate applications, but then, why do people go for SAI?

Hey shashankverma188,

So, SAI is a cost+time effective way of applying to multiple schools with a single application. Well frankly, applying to the individual schools separately does give you a slight edge, so if you time and budget is not a problem, go for it!
( Feel free to drop me a PM if you need any help with the application)

Hi,
I have secured admission to the Audencia Business School with Excellence Scholarship in the MIM program.
I would like to know shall I apply to Skema's MIM or MSc programs?
I'm looking at the criteria of better job opportunities and reputation of the concerned schools.
