What would be an ideal GMAT score for an applicant to enroll into HEC Montreal or HEC paris ,I'm a fresher student with no work experience. Please give me some light in this regard


A huge thanks in advance ?

Posted from my mobile device

Hi Yadhukrishna
Welcome!

In the very beginning, I'd like to mention that HEC Paris and HEC Montreal aren't related. They are completely different schools.

HEC Paris - Average GMAT is around 700-710
HEC Montreal - Competitive Score is above 630.

Thanks!

Is it a good idea to apply in the second round (due to non-availability of GMAT score)?
What is the acceptance rate for round 2?

Posted from my mobile device

There are 4 rounds for the Sep 2021 intake.
Please refer to the image attached.

The second round is still good. 1st is always preferred.
The acceptance rate for any round is not fixed as such. (This generally goes for all B-schools)
That's my understanding.

Thanks!

Hello HEC Montreal Aspirants,

I am an MBA Admissions Consultant and have helped students from across the world get admitted to top MBA programs.

Video essays, questions, and interviews are becoming more and more common in business school applications.
HEC Montreal's 2020-2021 application requires you to record 4 video essays.

Four video essays: Within one week of submitting your application, you will receive a link to a web-based video interview platform. Using this platform, you will spontaneously answer four pre-recorded questions, the answers to which will allow us to get to know you better. You will have up to seven days to complete this video interview.

Here I have posted my Top 10 Tips for VIDEO ESSAYS / QUESTIONS for all those looking to submit video essays/questions.
https://gmatclub.com/forum/10-tips-for- ... 33275.html
Hope you will find these tips useful. :)

We, at Vibranture, have been guiding students on creating strong and impactful MBA applications and also videos by helping with scripting, direction, as well as editing. For personalized help with MBA applications, I can be reached at mail@vibranture.com.

Good luck everyone!

Hi Guys,

I am from Pakistan and aiming to apply in the round 3 due to delay in GMAT (owing to the current situation). While, I do realize that applying in R3 from outside Canada may not be the best idea, however, better late than never.

Any idea what should be the minimum GMAT I should be looking at?
I am a graduate of Top school from Pakistan with almost 5 years of hard core MNC Corporate work experience, my GPA for my undergraduate was pretty mediocre and average though.

Best Regards,
Aspiring HEC Applicant

Hi NZA. Welcome to Gmatclub!

The average GMAT score is a good indicator of what to expect. HEC Montreal has an average GMAT of 625, so anything near or greater than that should be competitive. After that, you just need to present a solid application.

Do let me know if you have any other questions.

Cheers!
