Calling all Mannheim MBA Applicants: (2018 Intake) Class of 2019!

roy26: Any thoughts on the questions that one should prepare for the recommendations, possibly the points that one should be cautious about at the time of sending the recommendations.

I am really sorry Anubhav, but you could please explain your question a bit more. I am not able to understand what you are looking for..

roy26: Please allow me to clarify. I meant, that while shortlisting the names for your recommendations. Are their any preferences for the school, as in what they really look for? Senior executives who worked with you, or colleagues who now do not work with you anymore.

Thank you for your clarification. Most of the schools that I have applied to are looking for recommenders who have a direct connection with me. Therefore, thankfully my immediate supervisor (manager) and client manager have agreed to provide me recommendation for the programs. It's imperative that you choose your recommendations well. He/She has to be someone who knows you well and has worked with you closely.

Hi Frnds,

I have following queries while submitting the application
1) What is post secondary education level - Should we mention Class XII marks here or only graduation marks
2) I have downloaded the application form but have no idea about my candidate number? Where Can i find my candidate number??
3) How to submit the online application fee?? They have provided bank details which have Routing No, A/c No & Swift code etc but doesn't institute have any online portal for fee submission??

Thanks !!

Hello Manu86,
1. I am not really understand what is Class XII means, but post secondary education is Master or PhD.
2. You need to ask Gaby for the candidate number.
3. From my experience last year, they did not have such online payment portal. You need to transfer it yourself and send the transfer proof.

Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Kty89

Hi Manu86

1) Post secondary is your Graduation and post graduation or any other higher education

2) Not sure where you got this. I did not get this requirement and I have submitted my application but nobody has asked for this so far

3) You will have to transfer it through your bank. I did it through ICICI Bank, in India through their money2world service and got the receipt instantly.

Thanks for the revert, really appreciate the gesture

Thanks, this is helpful.

Dear All
one more query while filling the application... how to attach photo in the application form considering its a PDF file after all. Thanks a ton

It is a simple copy paste. That worked for me. You can also look for insert tab in the pdf

Hi All,

Simple copy paste of photo in pdf application form is not working for me..I tried with MS office 10 and 7 but in vain..Have updated Adobe PDF reader as well... Can some one suggest other methods as well.. Thanks !!

You can convert the application form to word doc using an online converter tool and paste the photo and save it as pdf. Let me know if that works.

worst case scenario, take a print out of that particular page (after filling it up). stick your photo and do a high res scan!
but I don't understand why you can't upload your pic directly into the pdf. it's editable.

Hi roy26

I was also asked for a video presentation and i submitted the same yesterday. Today I received the reply that it will be reviewed by end of Nov/beginning of Dec. Is it also the same with you?

In a rolling admission process they should not be waiting for the R1 deadline I guess

Hi folks,

I am facing some issues while filling up the application form and hope I can get some help here.
1. I downloaded the application form as a pdf, but it is not editable. I tried foxit, adobe and even tried opening it in chrome but no luck. Do any have the editable version of the application and the reference form?
2. The faq section says:
You can either use our online application tool or you can download the application form and use the typewriter function, shown at the top of the page, to fill out the application on your computer. The same applies to the reference forms. The complete application package can be submitted via e-mail to the Admissions Manager’s e-mail account. Please combine everything in a single pdf document.

Now where can I find this online application tool? Its seems an easy way out rather then sending the application form through post.

Although I have filled it online, it's perfectly okay to fill the application form by pen. That's what Gabriele had told me.

Oh btw, I took the help of an online pdf editor to get with the job. Yes, it's tedious and will frustrate you at times, but will get the job done. Just hit online online PDF editor in Google ..
