MBA HEC Montreal Class of 2019 (Matriculating 2018)

Hello,

I received my admission offer 2 weeks ago and just decided to accept it. Please let me know if there is a WhatsApp group I can join.
There are still 4 months to the start of the program and I would like to ask folks some of the things we could prepare for.

1. Basic French lessons?
2. For international students interested in a PR after work, we'll only be getting a year permit. QSW program is taking more than 2 years I have heard. Anyone thinking of alternatives? With a good ielts and profile, Express entry is definitely an option.
3. Also did anyone from India start on the immigration process for the study permit? I feel like I am already late to this.

Thanks,
Vishal Kankatala

Hi. Anyone has any idea wrt the Job Opportunity post MBA from HEC Montreal for Non-French speaking people? I understand that French is dominant in Montreal. Also, how easy or difficult would it be to get a job in Toronto or Vancouver after graduating from HEC?
My Background- Indian with 10 years of work-ex.
Thx in advance.

Its difficult as far as I know but still possible..
If you have prior experience in Canada, it may be easier.

If you dont have any canadian experience, pls try for Ivey, Queens, Rotman, UBC Sauder or Schulich.

All,

I know I am too late to apply for HEC but yet I will give my best shot in R3.

Hi guys@,

I'm applying for the 2018 session and facing issues with the LOR document. Can anyone here help me with how they managed to fill the LOR by editing and saving it first and then having their referee do the same?

Thanks !

I encounter similar issues when applying. you must be using MAC. there are two ways to fix: 1) change to windows platform( you reference) 2) on max os, they need to print the form and save as pdf. that changed the form to image.

Thanks leo2017. I'm already using windows .. the link opens up as a new tab (on my chrome browser) which is editable but then gets saved as a non-editable document.
Can you please let me know how you prepared your LOR?

Hi, just read your post. Though I'm applying to PhD, and not MBA, I may be able to help out in this issue. I just submitted my application today for Fall 2018. The LOR can be opened in NitroPro as an editable PDF. You can fill your details, save and send it to the referee, who can fill it in the same way, granted that he has NitroPro or a similar program. Hope this helps.

I have a question, if someone can help. I've been looking for forums relating to PhD at Montreal business schools, but haven't been able to find one. Can anyone guide me on the average or least accepted GMAT scores for PhD admission in HEC and McGill? I have a dismal score of 580 (Q39, V31). I have sent in my application to both these schools regardless as I heard they consider the whole package and a low GMAT may be offset by other factors if they are really strong. I hold an MBA, an MPhil, as well as have completed PhD coursework from Pakistan. I have high CGPA of 3.94 & 3.75 for MPhil & PhD coursework respectively, plus an 8.5 in IELTS academic. I also have a couple of international publications and research awards, and a 6 year experience in a communications firm as a researcher. I have a moderate comprehension level of reading, writing & speaking French, and am a Quebec resident. Am I right in thinking these other factors may count positively towards my application, or do these schools desk-reject applications only on the basis of low GMAT, and not even look at the other documents, as is mentioned on sooooo many forums? Kindly let me know, as I'm getting really anxious.

Nadia

Thanks Nadia! It worked

Hey Guys.. i submitted my online application 3 days ago and uploaded the supporting documents today. The LOR was emailed by my referees separately. Haven't received the video essay link though. Any clue when I can expect it?
Thanks a ton
