Congratulations on your admit.
Not an expert on European programs. Just sharing some general advice, so user discretion is advised.
In the given scenario you can take the following few steps:
1) Write to IE and request for payment date extension.
2) Write to ESSEC to request for an expedited decision and maybe use your IE admit as leverage(not sure about the second part as don't know how useful it can be as it may depend on ranking of the programs.)
3) In the meantime realistically assess your chances at getting admitted at ESSEC and then maybe determine how feasible it would be for you to wait an year to apply to ESSEC again next year in the worst case scenario where you do not take up the offer from IE and dont end up with an admit from ESSEC(worst case scenario which I sincerely hope you dont have to face).

Thanks a lot! Your advice is very helpful!!

Currently, I have an offer from IE MIM and the payment deadline for place reservation fees is 29th April. The admission office assigns seats on a first-come-first-served basis after the deadline expires.

However, I’m still waiting for ESSEC's MIM interview for I prefer ESSEC's MIM Than IE's and the result will be known before 3rd June.

It’s difficult for me to make a decision on whether I should pay the place reservation fees for IE. Because first the reservation fees is too high and second it’s hard to say whether I can get an offer from ESSEC.

Could anyone give me some suggestions? I will be glad to take them into my consideration.

Hello lunchbreak,

Tough to suggest that you give up on something you already have. However, you may write to IE to seek an extension (though, they may not give you such a long extension). You may also write to ESSEC, requesting an early decision.

If the above does not materialize, we would recommend that you pay the deposit at IE or prepare yourself to not regret the decision just in case ESSEC does not materialize.

Good luck!

Hi. Congrats on your admits.
Historically, programs have not been very eager to either give extensions OR provide the decisions early.
However, this year has changed a lot of the norms and approaches. You should definitely write to both programs and request both options at the same time.

When is the deposit deadline by the way?
