Hey Sakti!

Questions asked: It was more like a conversation regarding my CV, Career goals, reason for selecting ESADE and MiM. The interviewer was very polite and interactive. I had my interview in Mumbai(Personal interview).

Results are out within 15 days of interview date.

Hope this helped!

Cheers!

Hello  RebornJonSnow !

Fellow Indian applicant here to the MBA programme. I have submitted my application in time for the Feb 14 deadline. Any idea how much time it takes to hear back on a pre-selection or interview invite? Any info on when anybody from the admissions team would be in India in the near future?

sunny65_taurean · Answer

Hi RebornJonSnow and vishnu89 , I was interviewed for the MBA program initially. It took me exactly one month to hear back from them. My interview was a very casual conversation, the interviewer trying to get to know more about me. I was asked about my long term goals, my assessment of the Spanish job market, strengths and weaknesses apart from discussing my "story" (resume and other interests). I think you'd get an email from the admissions team telling them about when they will be in India for interviews and urging you to submit your application before a particular date. Also, I am not sure if they visit more than once. If they don't then I think in-person interviews are over, because I gave my interview in person a few months back (but not sure about this). Hope this helps

How long did it take before you heard back from the admissions committee ???

Hello guys!
I have also been accepted, really looking forward to start the program!
Applied about early-mid January, got results about early February.
A couple of questions I was asked that may be useful for future students interviewed: (I was interviewed at the Barcelona campus, btw!)
- A book I would recommend
- How would your friends describe you? 
- Some leadership questions, such as how would I manage a situation with classmate who did not worked enough at a group project

Other questions were pretty standard and really personal: Hobbies, describing myself, why ESADE, walking through my CV, explaining how I achieved my GMAT, why an engineer would do a MIM, what did I learned during my work, etc.
Felt really comfortable during the whole interview!

Hi Everyone!

I was going to apply for 2018, but was a bit late on the deadline and decided to apply for the year after- which will give me more time to study for the GMAT.

I am applying for the Business Analytics MSc - but I will have accumulated approx. 3 years work experience by the time I would start- however, I really dont think the MBA will go in depth enough into analytics.

Also- how much of a scholarship can I expect? I will apply in September 17 which means I will be in the first batch of applicants and I will apply for the talent scholarship and discuss my experience working in industry. If i don't get a scholarship, I wont be able to attend though. Does anyone have an idea as to how many candidates get a scholarship and what percent they give to each candidate?

Thanks so much! And congrats to everyone who has been accepted so far!

Hey guys! I guess its a while since this thread was last active. I'm planning to try for the ESADE MIM too for the Sep 2018 intake hopefully. Can somebody give me a timeline that I should follow ideally? Like by when I should be taking my GMAT and when I should start the application procedures?
Also all Masters programmes other than MBA ask for ideally 0-2 years of experience. I would be having three years by the time I'd join somewhere. Would that work against my favour?
Any insight on this stuff is appreciated!!
