I took the chance to visit HEC campus on its MBA Open House and share with you

For the following I’m just talking about the Full Time MBA program.

International exchange / double degree

Interested in international exposure ? Most non French (83% students body) chose this school for learning a new culture.

The exchange program allows students to spend a semester at the foreign school. There is “no” cost involved, but you pay the full program to HEC.

Whereas the double degree  provides 2 degrees, so access to 2 alumni networks. The tuition is payable pro rata temporis. Note the admissions processes are independant, so you can get admitedd to HEC and not to the other of your choice and vice-versa. I talked to several students one was going to an exchange with MIT Sloan , another a whole at Tsinghua SEM.

You have to read between the lines when they “double degree”, it doesn’t necessarily mean double MBA.
- LSE (Msc of economy)
- MIT Sloan MSMC (Msc Management Studies)

Life on Campus

Make your impression on these photos (dorms, campus, building, facilities)

The students from “Grande Ecole” (bachelor/master) program are completely separate from the MBA students. Different building , different accomodation building , some MBA teachers may teach at “grande ecole” …

GMAT

During the roundtables, one student was talking about his GMAT preparation. He spent over 1000 € on books only , one of his friend more than 2000 € over night courses. The guy gave me useful tips : he trained on all the books I had except the Manhattan Review which explains in detail each question type ( Sentence correction, problem solving … )

If some applicants are willing to spend this budget, GMATRayview can complement their studies in the bus , train …  with over 400 000 GMAT test taker a year, if subscripters are willing to spend 10 €/month, the figures look promising.
