Hey guys,

Hope everyone's applications are coming along well.

I am from Malaysia and I am looking to apply to both Mannheim and HHL. I have been reading this forum and the one on HHL pretty closely and have had garnered some useful information about studying in Germany. Looks like it is currently one of the few countries in this tumultuous world that we live in that offers international students a chance to stay back and gather some overseas experience.

That said, would be great if we could have current students, admits and applicants list down the differences between Mannheim and HHL. From Mannheim's website, the 12 month program has an option to be extended for 3 months 2018-onwards where an internship or exchange can be undertaken. HHL (21 months) has the internship option already embedded into its program which gives international students an edge in getting that much needed experience in the German market before we apply for that final job.

So please feel free to list down the differences between the 2. I feel this would be super beneficial for all of us trying to decide between the 2.

Thanks & cheers!

Hello Liverpool,
thank you for posting in this forum. I don't really know difference between Mannheim and HHL, because I did not study there, so it would be very hard for me to give a comparison with Mannheim. What I know is, both school are open to SEA student, as I know some student from SEA from both business school. All difference aside, both school have their own pros and cons. So, I think it is between which one suits you the most and can help you to reach your goal.
Yes, there are opportunities in Germany. But don't take it for granted. What I can share is, 1 year program is very intense. even from day 1.

Good luck on your application,

best regards,

kimtaeyeon89: Thanks for pitching in, Kim. I have been really occupied with my preps so took a leave of absence for few days.
liverpool: Hi again, from the info you shared I believe I discussed it with Sahil from KL, Malaysia few weeks ago. We had an hour and a half long conversation over the phone and share perspectives about how different are the 21 months program at HHL vs. 12-14 months program offered at other schools. If you have any queries, direct them to me or post it on this thread.

All the best,

Hey guys,

Hope everyone's application is going well. I have a question in regards to one of the FAQ answers listed on the Mannheim website in regards to certified transcripts below:

"Yes, we need your transcript and a copy of the degree certified by your university which needs to be translated into English by a certified translator. Please submit the original certified copies and the certified translations together with your complete application package. Notarization is not required."

Do they mean that they want a copy of our University certificate certified by the University? Or would uploading an original suffice? Think the GMAT's played a couple of tricks in my head in dissecting sentences a bit too much.

Thanks in advance guys :)

Hi,

In the reference form at the end it is mentioned to provide "Signature and Official Seal". does this mean that the referee will have to get an Official Seal? I don't think any corporate will provide their official seal for MBA application purpose. Kindly clarify whether this is mandatory or simply sending the reference letter through official mail would suffice

Why don't you ask the same question to Gabrielle. She's pretty responsive.

Oh! It's pretty bad. She usually responds to my queries within 2-3 hours.

I think if the referee sends the reco letter via official email it won't be any issue.

I got a reply from her today evening :-) I guess she must have been too busy with the application and so is working even on Sunday :o
So seal is not required. mail from official id will suffice.

roy26 niks18: thanks for keeping up the momentum. I also got a chance to connect with an alum in the previous week. Turns out, they are loaded with applications, so we can anticipate tough time for the admission committee to take decisions on all prospective candidates.

All the best,

If your transcript and diploma is in English, you can upload either the scanned original OR certified copy of those, if you cannot upload your original documents.
