Re: ESSEC admits 2008 - 14-04-2008, 09:07 PM

well, in my case i have a reasonable amount of fluency in French....so it made sense to stick to France...personally, i believe that 2 yrs of work ex is not sufficient for ISB....it may be enough NUS though...but I think you are right about the working abroad part...choosing ESSEC would mean that you might have to work in Europe or US for a couple of years...though I don't see any reason for you to have any trouble in coming back to India after that...

Re: ESSEC admits 2008 - 15-04-2008, 10:57 PM

Hi singhsh

It seems ur too much worried about rankings ..i agree that rankings are an important indicator for a good program but its not the only thing. ( i mean i won't just say that ISB is better than Kellogs just because FT says so).. for me its reputation in the industry is what really matters and ESSEC has it it is definitely in the top 3 french MBA programs and in WSJ rankings (which is based on recruiters feedback) it ranks 7th in the world. Again rankings should just be one of the criterion for ur selection. You should look into whether the school is good fit for u or not depending on ur further career goals.
personally I found ESSEC to be a perfect fit for me in terms of its curriculam flexibility , exchange programs and internship opportunities.

coming to ur second part language would not be a hurdle but it will definitely be an added advantage if u know french . I myself don't know french but will learn in India plus they have prep course in september for that

if ur planning to work in India u might want to consider ESSEC's tie up with IIM Ahmedabad u can earn a dual degree frm thr.

think thru ur options and apply accordingly
U always have an option of defering ur admit

ESSEC is definitely better than NUS but ISB might be better if u wanna work in india

@ESSEC u'll have a good chance as they r consciously trying to increase thr intake frm India

Hope this helps

cheers

Praveen

Hi Praveen,

I agree with u about the rankings...ESSEC is definitely among the best in business in France...and it's placements record is excellent.....I had applied to the Masters' programs in HEC but I've decided to take up ESSEC......do u have any info regarding the accomodation in ESSEC....


Regards,

Vishnu

Probably they'll send the admit letter in another 10 days time (if u got ur admit in R2)

rest of the documents they'll send after the R3 admits are over

Re: ESSEC admits 2008 - 03-09-2008, 09:07 PM

Hi!
I'm planning to apply to ESSEC for an MBA starting Fall 2009. I know that most of us go by rankings but what attracted me most to ESSEC is its flexible course structure.
I'm looking to specialise in Finance(since I am almost through my Chartered Accountancy), could anyone tell me how good the school is from the finance point of view?.....I'm not too keen on coming back to India after completing the course and hope to get a job in Europe.
Hope someone could throw light on whether the schools would help me in my goals.....
Also i would love to get in touch with other applicants for my intake..
Cheers
