Yeah, been looking up the FB page for admitted students. Also, been looking for financing still. You guys have any luck? I'm from the US, so I applied for a Sallie Mae loan. We'll see how it goes...
I'm still working on my financials as well. Local banks weren't helpful at all so I'm relying on the 80% Global Loan to make this work. The rest, reservations fees and living expenses, will be covered by a loan from a local bank, with my father as guarantor, and also the loan might not cover all the expenses...
I will be applying to the global loan tonight or tomorrow at the latest. In case anyone missed the e-mail from IESE, you can now apply to the Global Loan starting May 1 instead of June 1. That is one piece of information I wished they had given us one month ago.
I can honestly say I was hoping for better ways of financing my MBA.
Have you guys begun searching for an apartment? I was hoping that I'd be able to get to Barcelona sometime around August, however I've read that August is a "dead" month for apartment search.
