Hello Guys,

I have applied for Mannheim Business School for its Full time MBA program, so thought of starting a thread for discussion regarding the entire admission process. Keep posting !!! 😃

Hi!!

I have too.. How far along are you in the application process??

Why did you chose Mannheim?? I have some doubts wrto that 😞

I have submitted my completed application and have been called for the first selection interview on Feb 6th !!

I chose Mannheim because its the top B-School in Germany, has multiple tracks within its program that allows the student to study a complete semester in the Partner B-schools and these are pretty good renowned schools. Also, the academic program fits in the aspirations that I have from my MBA degree. It is pretty decent school with a good reputation and is triple accreditated.

What doubts you have ?

Yea i chose it for similar reasons. But I have my doubts regarding the career services and the job opportunities.

I have my last interview on 31..

Can you please share your profile?

thats gr8 ...how was the first interview and the case study process ??

I am working as an Application Lead with a Telecom client in Stockholm, Sweden. An IT professional with 4.5 yrs of exp including 2.5 yrs of international exp !!

The interview was quite pleasant. No stress questions. Quite a general conversation I would say. Case study also was quite intriguing.

Best of luck for your interview..!!

cool ..best luck for ur final interview ... how does your profile look like ? which other b-schools have you applied ?

I have around 2.5 years of work ex. 1/2 of in Germany.. I have applied to ISB, NTU and Mannheim. What abt you? GMAT score?

My GMAT score is on the lower side ..its 620 ..so banking on my wrk ex and profile ...whats ur GMAT score ? I have applied for Warwick business school, Cass Business school, NTU (will be applying soon) !!

my GMAT is 690... not that great either... 😞

Heyy aim12 ....i got through my first interview ... and now have got the case study so need to start working on it ..though I have a question about the reference book that they have recommended ....from whr did u get the reference book ? Did you purchase or downloaded online for free ? Can you please let me know ...it ll be helpful !!

Hi,

I did not use the book they recommended. I guess the topic was quite general so I mostly used some basic books.

By the way I got an admit.

Best of Luck for the rest of ur process

Hi guys,

Just came across your thread. I have a horrible Gmat score - 630. WE - 6.5 years.
So looking for schools with a little lower cut off. Could you please advise on the application process and the total course fees (tuition+living costs)?
Also, am not from engineering background. Would that be a hindrance for placements since my profile is a little different?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!

Heyy aim12,

I have now cleared the second stage and they have called me for the final selection interview 😃 !!! Could you please share your experiences of the final interview ? What questions were asked ? It would be really useful to me ....I have my final selection interview on 28th Feb !!

Is there no one here ..who has applied for Mannheim Business School ....I have got an offer from MBS ...so wanted to revive this thread !!!

Is Mannheim Business School not popular amongst the candidates over here ?? It is really strange to see no conversations about this School (which is considered as the best B-school in Germany) !!
