I am arranging for a personal interview with the people from Instituto de Empresa, does anybody have any experience with them?

Basically, I'm planning to cover my profile, available funding, and career options.

But other than that, I'm really curious, I notice a lot of people talking about Indian schools, a few UK schools, and then American schools, and of course INSEAD. Anybody applying or thinking about other European schools and other options? Especially schools like IESE, Vlerick Leuven Gent, AGSOM, RSM ?

@cimdaa please resist from putting too many eggs into the same basket..:whatthat: In forum parlance it translates asking too many questions in the same thread with an interrogatory title..:P

Pm me(or any of the mod) the gist and a suitable title you want it changed to....an appropriate title goes a long way in attracting the right eye balls and getting the best responses...

Girish...!

Hi,
IE is a very good school.. i was able to meet their Indian representative and also someone from admissions at bangalore. I am applying for IE.. just turning in my application this weekend. The cool thing about the school is they have a large number of scholarships for indian students.. and its for like 19000 euros. It is also among the 50 schools recognised by uk govt for wrok permit purpose so its easy to get a job in uk once you complete the degree from IE.

I am also concentrating on non us b schools. What are the other schools u have applied. Also whats ur profile.

Hey,
Have apped to Vlerick and HEC. Will be putting in apps to Erasmus and Solvay by mid next week.
Didnt know about IE being among the recognised schools by UK govt. I think I need to do some backgrnd research on IE. What are the deadlines for IE??

[maverick leo]

Hi Fink and others

am also looking at applying to Vlerick, was quite impressed with their uni and course when they had come down to bangalore for the world grad school tour..
@fink, vaidya -- how do you guys rate Vlerick for finance and management, am looking at applying this fall

[dheerin]

Hi Fink,

Actually i saw people on this link talking about IE... i thought i was the only one looking at it.. anyways.. out of the research i have done.. they dont have deadlines.. and they tend to turn around the application(with interview in 3 weeks).
Make sure u keep this in mind.. u dont wanna get thru and not have a chance to view the results of other univs.. (they usually dont stretch their time for paying deposit )

Cheers
D
