@agoyal Sir can you throw some light on Oxford Said Business school

Hi Vikas,

Hello agoyal,

Can you provide your opinion on the recognition of IE Business School among Indian recruiters , from your experience so far @ IE ?

Hello MBA aspirants,

Yes , it does!

I would suggest you to call at +22 32544552

Thanks a lot Haywire ! Is this the Mail ID that you're referring to :

Ask them to check their spam folders or something, call the Mumbai office tomorrow. Hope they would help.

Hi Haywire87,

The Recommendation Tab went Green and i clicked the button to send across the Email to Recommenders. I also clicked on the Remind links also , but both the Recommenders did not receive the mail yet

But how did you manage to submit the application without the recommendation tab going green?

You could go to the recommendation tab on your application and select to send a reminder.

Hi ,

I applied to IE about a week back. Though i had provided the details of my Recommenders in the IE Application form , but none of them have yet received an Email yet. So , i wrote to IE a couple of times over the last 1 week , but haven't heard back from them.

IS IE Admission Team laid back on replying back to the Applicant's queries and what can i expect going forward ?

Hi

@Steve.M

Sorry Steve, unfortunately, you will not get much detailed information here. For some unknown reason, people here loves to aggregate and present a superficial picture. I believe those people are recruiter of the school in disguise or admission consultants.

Use google search and use the information with a large pinch of salt and pepper. Mind that, anyone can be Bill Gate in FREE INTERNET.

I am also looking for some decent option in Europe and yet to find something where I can bet my money and time without a second thought. The stake is much higher now than selecting an engineering college in the past and and need to be clear from marketing gimmicks or marketing intimidation.

In one side people are talking highly about your objective, future career plan and otherside schools are claiming the 2 years will be LIFE CHANGING for you. Interesting paradox!!

Please share your experience

Hi,

Hi guys,

Congratulations on the admit. No LI group for the Apr' 13 intake that i am aware of. Look forward to create one later this month. Too early now.

Have just received the enrollment contract and will now zero in on potential financing options.

What about other admits?

Hi Melvin,
Same here, I was interviewed on Jun12. I have just received the enrolment contract and have to take call by Jul30. Let me know how are you looking at financing. I heard he deadline is jul15 for applying for loans. I applied to Insead and HEC apart from IE.

What are your options?

Thanks

Hi Everyone,

I have just received an admit for the april-13 intake and still contemplating on joining.

Here's my profile

Have sent you an email with an attachment.

I have been getting emails from IE Business School, urging me to apply. Is that common ? The email says they will do a "Priority Review". Is that common ? or anything specific ?

Hi,

I don't think it is usual. I think you might have registered with IE at some point and could be on their mailing list. BTW, IE has an office in mumbai which handles this sort of review for them, a part of their marketing effort!

In any case it's not a bad idea to get your profile reviewed if you are seriously considering this school.

cheers

Thanks sputnik; now that i will be figuring out scholarship and fellowship options, will keep you posted on my findings. Shall mail you on the email that you had quoted above.

congrats jose.....

Just got an admit mail for the Apr' 13 IMBA program

HI Guys, i also got admitted for the IMBA April 2013 intake. I have already applied for the scholarships and am actually waiting to hear from financial aid team on my scholarship application before I confirm my seat.

What are your thoughts on the post MBA job prospects. I am really concerned about this since loan repayments are going to be a huge burden even with scholarships and with the ongoing crisis in europe, it all depends on job postings and opportunities from outside Europe.

Congratulations Anand. Some are of the view point that pursuing an MBA now, especially from good schools such as the IE, is perhaps the best option to help ride through the current economic turmoil. My reason to choose IE (if given an admit that is) would be the Venture Labs and my chance to evolve a successful startup.

Do you mind sharing your profile and also when were you interviewed, where and when did you receive the admit. My details follow:

1] Acads- BA Sociology (below avg. grades)
2] GMAT- 680
3] Workex ~ 9 years (Marketing, Sales- Retail Banking, Insurance, BPO) all domestic experience based out of India.
4] Currently founder of a startup (a concept company called zerO Business solutions)- Current project is to do with the domestic database and lead generation space in the India.
5] Interviewed on the 9th of June at the IE Mumbai off.
6] Yet to hear on my application status from IE.

If you are a Linkedin user, we could probably connect over LI. Search for Melvin Jose (that's me). I am connected with several current students and a few professors at IE. You could probably write to a few Students to get a pulse of the current job scenario.

All the best

i received an admit email at the end of 3rd week

Thank you for your response; here's another link to the Nov' 12 IMBA intake group on Linkedin; since you have already secured an admit, you could perhaps post your query as a new thread on the group discussion platform.

IE Business School - IMBA November 2012 Intake | LinkedIn

As an when i come across any more information on this, i shall write you an email.

HTH and All the best

i received an admit email at the end of 3rd week

Hai Jose,

good to see u r reply. I am working currently in Dubai and i have been interviewed at Dubai office by one of the IE team and an alumini. I was interviewed in the month of April 2012. I received my offer and on acceptance of the same the confirmation was sent to me. I have already paid the initial fees. I have already approached credila when i was in India last month, but unfortunately they are asking for the collateral warranty more than the loan amount. They even require a guarantor on my behalf who should basically have a blood relation with the applicant. They are very tough guys. The only option is internationl banks. I badly need scholarship also. Please update me. If you dont mind pls mail me on engineer_patnaik@yahoo.com...bye...

Right; i sense the urgency level; as mentioned i'm yet to hear from IE on my application status post the interview and hence have not appraised myself on the scholarship piece; here's the number to the IE India office @ peddar road Mumbai; i suggest that you call them whenever well placed to get started on the scholarship options, essays et all- +912232544552

One query- how long after your interview in Apr 12, did you receive the admit mail?

hi spatnaik81 can you plz share your profile?

Dear Anand,
As mentioned in my previous discussion, i have already paid the confirmation fee of 6200 which is not refundable. There is no question of looking back. My concern is only the loan which i am looking out for. I wanted to hear from the current students regarding IE's classroom environment. Give me your contact no. May be i can speak to you. Thank you for the info regarding foundation grant.

Patnaik

Hi Patnaik,

I am still in Muscat and have requested for a deferment to Apr '13 entry. So guess we will catch up at the same time. With regard to the scholarships, you will actually narrow down to 3-4 after going through the details. But do certainly apply for the 'Foundation' scholarship. You can be certain to receive a minimum grant of 5000 Euros. Have you already made up your mind to join IE? It's a good school but the Euro crisis is a bit worrying. We still have a lot of time to make up our mind, isn't it? Will be in touch.

Anand

I have accepted IE contract for Apr 2013 intake. Kindly can you update me on the school, as i suppose you are in the program. Help ke on international loans and which scholarship s to apply.

Regards,
Patnaik

All the very best on the admit; i am also an applicant to the Apr'13 IMBA program. I was interviewed on the 9th of June at their Mumbai office; yet to receive a status mail from IE.

Have not researched on the scholarship bit but i know that loans are offered by HDFC Credila and also by Caja Madrid Spain amongst others.

It's a great school to be in, particularly if you have the entrepreneurial bent.

When were you interviewed? was it face-to-face or via Skype? Did someone from the India office conduct the interview or were they from Madrid?

Here one link on BTG that may be of some help to you :

Hi Bharath,

Thanks

@all: Congrats to all those who've got in.
Can some1 provide details on when is the admission test in India? What is the avg experience in IE(especially for IT experience)? Has any1 attended any of their info sessions in India?

@Rohan & Devdutt: Congrats! for getting in. I would advice you to apply for scholarship and loan to Spanish banks (Especially Caja Madrid & Banco Marca) asap. The financial aid department is really helpful so write to them if you have any doubts regarding the process.

@amitgupta2k: They took about a week for giving me the decision. I was interviewed on 08th Nov '2011 and surprisingly received the decision yesterday.

Hi R0haN,
Congrats on admission call from IE.
Pls. advise which date you had telephonic interview ?
Actually I just want to analyze how much time IE is taking post interview for sending its decision.
Thanks

Hi Puys,

Admitted to April 2012 IMBA at IE. Anyone else who is admitted? Also, current students, can someone help regarding scholarships?

Received the following question in mail:

Well how much we need to budget for the IE course as well as the living. How is the funding chances at IE?
Is the school more GMAT biased when awarding scholarships? At 680 GMAT is there any chance of getting funding?

IE tuition fees is 57000 Euros, and living cost would be a minimum of 9000 euros given that you don't party much and live with 3-4 people as 3/4BHk are cheaper than 1/2 room apartments.

Total expense would be around 47-50 Lakhs..

Schol is not GMAT biased. I know people receiving scholarship even with a 620 score of GMAT. If you apply prudently at an early stage you can expect 15-20% schol.
Regarding funding, few Indians received loan from Spanish banks (with a collateral or a co-signor) this time anywhere from 10,000-25,000 euros.

double post

Guys,
If anyone of you need any information regarding IE, I am here to help out.

I might not be much active on PG so you can additionally mail me at goyal.amit.r@gmail.com

Hi AGoyal,
Many thanks for your feedback.
Thanks

@amitgupta: IE takes around 2-4 weeks to announce the final decision. Be patient you will soon get a reply.
