Hi,
I've noticed there is no separate thread for those applying to/admitted in the GMBA Sep '17 intake.
I got admitted into the program a couple of weeks ago and ready to share my experience to those who are still applying and connect with the soon-to-be students of the program.
Best,
Denis
Hello Denis,
I am applying to GMBA Sept '17 intake.
I have submitted my application, sat for the IE Gat (received positive feedback), and have my Skype interview Monday May 8.
what is your suggestion regarding the Interview? any Tips? how long after the Interview did you receive a final feedback? do you know how many apply to IE GMBA and what the acceptance rate are?
looking forward and all the best in September!
Hi,
Good luck to you. I had a face-to-face interview so my experience may be very different from yours. Regarding the tips, I don't really know your background to advise anything specific, so I can just give you a general idea. The interviewer will try to understand, why you need this MBA and what you wanna get from it, so make sure you really understand your short- and long-term goals. Be prepared to guide the interviewer through your CV and career path. You will do most of the talking, so if you aren't used to speaking a lot about yourself in English, make sure to prepare your story in advance. At the same time, do not deviate too much from the point and don't spend too much time on one question, otherwise the interview will get bored. I don't have a loss for words so I noticed during my interview that i spent too much time on some topics, it's good i cut myself short and got back on track.
I received my feedback around 2.5-3 weeks after the interview. The statistics on how many apply is very unclear, as tehre are few active IE applicants on GMAT club, i don't know why. Maybe it's mostly US applicants who are active here.
From what I know, the acceptance rate is around 25%-30% (data from some admission websites).
If you have an opportunity, will you be able to write a bit about your background?
Let me know if you need any other info, will be happy to help.
