HEC MiM Grande Ecole
Hi,
I am interested in applying for MSc In Management Grande Ecole at HEC Paris. I have a BSc in Business Administration from a pretty good European University. I really love the various specializations offered in the second year of the program.
However, having a business background (Bachelor), I am bit worried that the program might not be the ideal fit since only 40% of the student body have an undergraduate degree in either business or economics. I have also looked into the specialized Master's programs at HEC but I think the Grande Ecole program still has the best reputation and I'd prefer to do a 1.5/2 year program.
What do you think?
I am interested in the consulting industry.
What's your GMAT? Have you applied?
My gmat score is 740 and my undergraduate GPA is pretty good as well. I am also applying to ESADE's Master in International Management/CEMS. The interviews with both schools went well. I will receive their decision by the end of the month. Additionally, I am also thinking about applying to St. Gallen's SIM Master.
Do you have work experience ? internship ? do you speak french ?
A 3 month management consulting internship at a Big Four Company and a 6 month internship at a big German company. I studied French in school but it's a little bit rusty. I think that I can become fluent in the 2/3 years at HEC though.
Just a general comment about studying at a french school, be careful about where you want to work afterwards. If your french is not perfect (like native speaker level), chances of landing a job in a top company in France are lowish.
Thanks for the answer. But doesn't a HEC grande ecole degree give you access to great jobs opportunities in countries other than France as well (let's say GB-London or Germany)?
Oh of course, HEC is top notch in Europe - you should not have any trouble finding a job in the UK or Germany. I was just warning about the limited job opportunities in France, if your french is not perfect!
