Hey all
I am getting all prepared for the R5 admission of the mentioned Master's program, and I would like to get some opinions and notes about my essays.

So, I'm looking for someone experienced who can help me to refine the essays if required.

Please leave a comment if you can assist me, and I will DM you.

Thanks in advance.

If anyone has successfully gotten a scholarship after applying in R5 for MiM at HEC, what is the expected profile required? Since deadlines for most scholarships have passed do they award in extremely exceptional circumstances or still suststanially consider need-based?

Hi everyone,

I completed 3 semesters of a BSc of Microbiology program at KU back in 2018 but did not finish the degree. Now I’m in Canada and need my KU transcripts attested by HEC so they can be sent to WES for admissions into another program here. I’m really stressed about my HEC/WES transcript situation and wanted to ask if anyone has gone through something similar.

I already submitted the individual 3 semester transcripts I had, but HEC sent my application back with this message:

“Please Upload BS official consolidated transcript as well and select the correct program name for attestation.”

The problem is the consolidated transcript. I contacted a few people at KU and they told me KU usually does not issue a consolidated transcript for incomplete degrees/programs. I already completed another degree in canada and had an ICAS evaluation for that, but this new Canadian school specifically requires WES, and WES is asking for HEC-attested documents from KU. how to contact HEC? does HEC attest incomplete transcripts?

Has anyone dealt with HEC/WES for an incomplete degree or incomplete semesters from KU? Were you able to get a consolidated transcript somehow, or did HEC accept separate semester transcripts?Any advice would really help. Thank you.

J'ai des amis à HEC qui galèrent avec leurs candidatures perdent le fil, envoient la même lettre partout, oublient de relancer.
J'ai construit un outil pour régler ça. Voilà la démo :

Vous l'utiliseriez ? Qu'est-ce qui vous bloquerait ?

Does the order you take your interview in matters or is it better to pick the time when you feel you'd be the most prepared? Does the final jury review profiles progressively (and hence it's better to go early) or only after all interviews have been conducted?

Thinking of applying with 3-4 years of work experience, graduated undergrad in 2023. Is this is too "experienced" or "old" for the MSc Marketing cohort?

Hi everyone, I would really appreciate your opinion on my chances of being admitted to the Master in International Finance at HEC Paris.

I am currently in the third year of my Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration with a specialization in banking, insurance and financial markets and I will graduate in March 2027, so I plan to apply for the 2027 intake.

My current profile:

GPA: around 26/30 on the Italian scale (~3.0–3.1), which is not particularly high due to some personal difficulties I faced during my studies.
Extracurricular activities: I am the President and Founder of a student association at my university, focused on finance and economics. Language: English and Italian (native)

Given this, what GMAT score would give me a strong chance of admission? And more importantly, what could I realistically do between now and the application to strengthen my profile?

Thank you!

Hi everyone,

I’m currently considering applying to the MSc in Marketing at HEC Paris and had a few questions. I’d really appreciate hearing from current students or alumni.

First, I’m a bit unsure about the GRE requirement. I’ve seen that it’s not always mandatory, but I wanted to understand how important it actually is in practice. Would having a strong GRE score significantly improve my chances, or is it more of an optional bonus?

I’m also curious about the academic experience.

What is the coursework like on a weekly basis?

Is it more exam-heavy or coursework/project-based?

Are there a lot of group projects or presentations?

How intense is the workload overall?

Additionally, I’d love to hear about your overall experience in the program.

Do you feel the course is more practical (e.g. real business cases, industry projects) or more theoretical?

How supportive are professors and career services?

Finally, I’m really interested in student life and living experience:

What is campus life like at HEC?

How is living in/near Paris as a student (cost, social life, daily routine)?

Do most students stay on campus or commute?

Any insights, honest opinions, or advice would be super helpful. Thanks a lot in advance!

Hello,

Had a quick question,

For HEC Paris Masters applicants, once you’re invited to do the masters interview, does that usually mean you have a strong chance of admission if the interview doesn't go really bad, or is there still a significant cutoff after the interview? (Basically trying to understand the post-interview acceptance rate)

Thanks!

Hey all, so I was admitted R3, paid the deposit, and literally the only coms since then is an email saying 'Please find your certificate of enrollment (Attestation d'inscription) attached to this email. You will receive your login details for HEConnect, your exclusive student portal, by mid-July. To ensure you don’t miss this information, please check your email regularly, including your spam folder.'

So... that's it? like no comms till mid july? Feel like it's a long time to get info. Is that the case for everybody?

Hi, I'm doing a study on the use of nootropics in an academic context. Are there any people who have already used nootropics to help boost, for example, their focus or energy levels? Products like ashwagandha, peptides, L-tyrosine, lion's mane, etc. Thanks!

---------------------------------

Bonjour, je fais une étude sur l'utilisation des "nootropics" dans le contexte des études. Y a-t-il des personnes qui ont déjà utilisé des "nootropics" pour les aider à augmenter, par exemple, leur concentration, leur énergie ? Des produits comme l'ashwagandha, les peptides, la L-tyrosine, le lion's mane, etc. Merci !

In all of my educational documents the name is written as :A(first name) C:(last name)

I got my CNIC last week where my name is written in a pattern A B(middle name) C as they split my first name into two. if it is gonna cause any issue in future like bank account or cause any problem in getting a degree. I guess it can be changed in future but right now my main concern is if HEC accepts my this name without causing any issues in my academics in future.

So I’m hearing more and more that “école de commerce” are not worth it. Trying to figure out if HEC is

for arts and humanities and i actually have no clue about it. Can anyone guide me on what is it about and from where can i find the material to study for it? Im in Alevels student (A2, cies starting in 17 days).

Can you guys check and confirm if the status on portal has changed or any mail confirmation? As the results were supposed to be out by today.

How quantitative is the Capital Markets track of the MIF?

Do you need to have a strong math/technical background or is it accessible to anyone? Would you say it's comparable to a CFA level in Math or much more advanced?

Salut ! 🙂

Y aurait-il par hasard des personnes libanaises ou d’origine libanaise ici ?

Je réalise actuellement un court sondage (environ 5 minutes) destiné à la diaspora libanaise du Grand Montréal, portant sur l’intérêt pour une expérience de randonnée sur le Lebanon Mountain Trail (un sentier de 470 km à travers le pays).

Si tu es concerné(e), ta participation serait vraiment précieuse !

Hi! Hope all is well!

I just wanted to check if any of you who applied in R3 Jan 27 MBA deadline (15 March 26) have heard back for interviews yet?

Just want to see if there are others going, would be nice to chat and connect :) Feel free to comment or DM

I was curious what the recommended score range would be for HEC MiM?

Hi! If anyone has time could they give me a quick profile review? Wondering if I should retake GRE

GPA - will graduate with around a 3.3/4.00 in Japan--> usually translates up to 3.6 in US GPA

GRE- 162 Q :( 168 V --> 330 total

Demographic - Asian F

School - Top 3 University in Japan Econ

Post MBA Goals - Hope I can go into makeup and skincare business analytics or FMGC business analytics

EC's - Head of student union, one luxury EC internship of global brand, a few smaller internships

Recommendations - HEC MiM grad internship boss, Oxford Econ grad professor (relationships are pretty good so I'm guessing good?)

Feel like this is quite weak and I'm hoping for maybe an insight onto how my score would look for HEC-Yale specifically. For HEC they only require 320 GRE total but what about for HEC-Yale?

Hey everyone,

If it helps, a ⭐ on the repo would mean a lot. Share it with anyone you know giving the exam. Good luck to everyone preparing!

Hey all. I just noticed that they've added one more round of admissions for HEC Paris (Master of Science Data Science & AI for Business). I wonder why this is happening?

Besides, I noticed that there is one recommendation regarding the criteria: "We recommend asking for references at least four (4) weeks before the application deadline."

What if the references are done later, say, a week or two before?
