What is the average GMAT score @ HEC?

The average GMAT score for the HEC Sept 09 intake is 680.

Wohoo! Just heard from the HEC scholarship committee. Got a scholarship of 13K Euros. Anyone else heard from HEC? Also any idea how to apply to the eiffel scholarship?
Thanks,

Thanks Bianca for givin me the stats. That helps !

 

Wow, 13k euros! Congrats! I applied for 5 different scholarships and didn't get a single dime :(

At least the decision was quick!

Hi tumblindice,

Are you applying to any other school apart from HEC? I have applied to LBS R1. With 13K euros scholarship at HEC, if I get in into LBS, it will be a tough decision. If you can send me your personal email address, we can correspond further.

Cheers,

Hi all,

I wanted to ask how good are the finance placements at HEC Paris. I know that LBS would be better but does HEC offer a good shot ?

And where would HEC Paris figure viz-a-viz Oxford for the MBA Program ? Same league or is there a large gap either way ?

 

Thanks

If you are looking for a career in finance then LBS would surely be where you would want to go. I got admission to HEC for Sep 2010 entry and applied to LBS R1 for 2010. At the end of the day, it depends on what you are looking for. If you are looking for a career in the luxury industry then HEC would score better that LBS as HEC has great connections with the luxury industry. As far as finance goes, LBS wins hands down. Not that a degree from HEC is going to prevent you from getting into a financial company in london but an LBS degree will make it much easier.

At the end of the day look at what you want from an MBA program and apply accordingly. Figure out what schools fit you career plans best. Also figure out what the school culture is and if you would fit into it.

Disclaimer: I am no expert in business schools. Whatever was said above was a personal analysis.

when it comes to Oxford vs HEC, Oxford has a good brand name but doesn't mean that their MBA program is that strong. anything connected with the french industry, HEC will be a great choice. If you are looking for something in the UK, then go for Oxford. At the end of the day, figure out what you want and set your expectations clearly even before applying. Business school applications are just too much effort for something you are not 100% interested in.

Good luck,
Wizard

Thanks. I agree with your views regarding LBS and finance, but my question is will HEC offer a good chance at a finance position. LBS might be better but will HEC graduates get finance jobs or not ?
 The Msc Finance at HEC is really good and places well in London. Just trying to figure out the same for the MBA.

Also, where does HEC figure in your rankings - Top 5/10 in Europe ?

 

Thanks
