Calling All Paris HEC MBA Applicants: January 2020 Intake

Hello MBAPrepCoach

Thank you!

Not decided yet on matriculation as I did get any scholarships. I had reached out to AdCom asking for permission if I could retake GMAT and submit updated scores to maximize my chances to which they responded favorably. So I will be retaking GMAT and see how it goes. Moreover, I am waiting on other schools such as McCombs, Duke, Johnson, INSEAD which I will prefer as I plan to come back to North America for work.

A bit about myself: Indian though have been living in Canada for quite sometime, 30 years Male, IIT Btech + MS in Canada, total 5.5 years of work ex.

I may have been accepted because of strong essays (I took professional help), impactful work ex with couple promotions, extensive international experience.

Interviews were ok - not stressful at all. Though my 2nd interview was a lot more unstructured than first as we spent almost half hour (should be 10 minutes) on presentation since interviewer had a ton of questions on each slide! During my interview itself I could sense it was going in right direction when my first interviewer said "you already provided very strong answers to previous questions, I am not sure what to ask more" and second interviewer commented "you definitely look like you know what you want to do". So I would say a clear goal and need for an MBA go a long way.

Hope this helps a bit to other candidates furthering in the process.
