HEC Essays Review

I am applying to HEC MIF program and I would like to know what, in your opinion, should be mentioned in the Essays. I have already prepared them and, compared to the previous years, there are no other questions that allows you to let them know a different facet of yourself as it used to be, but only 3 essays.

Do you happen to know some good quality review service? I have already sent these essays to a couple of friends that are currently attending HEC, but as I really want to join HEC, I feel that a couple more of comments/suggestions wouldn't be that bad. If you want to dedicate some of your precious time to read them I can share them with you.

Background:

  • Italian with 2:1 BSc in Economics and Finance from Bocconi
  • GPA 3.7 (27/30 with the Italian grading system)
  • GMAT 690 (Q47 V37), I will take it again on Monday, and hoping to get 720+ ( I got 720+ in 4 practice exams, with 2 more to go)
  • Fluent in English and B2 in French
  • Took CFA L1 in December

Work Experience

  • I only have 1 summer internship during high school (not in Finance)

I’ve applied to several MiF Programs as well including HEC. I can read the essay if you want and give you some feedback based on the advice I’ve received from admission consultants. What does your profile look like btw?
