Glad to be of assistance!

Glad it was helpful!

The short answer is on average 100 hours for a score that is better than a 60th percentile and on average 120 hours for a 90th percentile score (i.e. 655+). But it obviously depends on your personal history with generalized tests, your familiarity with the theory, and how effectively your study. You can find more about the time people spend on average on their GMAT studies here here: www.prepscholar.com/gmat/blog/how-long-to-study-for-the-gmat/

Sorry for the very late response Barney, but I don't have enough knowledge of this program to share my view of ESSEC's MiM

Although EUR 100.000 is definitely possible, it isn't easy straight out of university. But for opportunity cost, rather than considering the first year out of uni, I would consider the average salary you will make during your career. Or even more accurately you could look at the present value of the last year of income you will earn in your life, since that is what you will earn more if you work for one year longer than you would have if you take a year longer to study. For simplicity, 100.000 works good enough for this video hahaha

I took the older GMAT myself so I did not study deliberately for the data insights part. I did make use of a few channels on TH-cam that make very useful explanations for Verbal, Quant and now also for Data Insights. You can find links to useful playlists in the video description

​@@EuroStudyPro sure thanks alot

I applied the first round, so that was the 17th of October 2023

I will make a video about this later but in short: the Mim is a 2- or 3-year program with the first year being more general business courses, for those that want to a gap year and in the last year the specialisation. One of the specialisations that you can pursue is the MIF. Because I have a bachelor's in Business Administration, I did not feel the first year of the Mim would be usefull for me. Thus I directly applied to the MIF program.

I will make a video about this, thanks for the suggestion!

Thanks, will do!

Hey Imatte, I appreciate your proactivity! I will first make a more general video about the GMAT comparing it with the GRE, and then a video about my strategy of studying for the GMAT. In about two to three weeks, I will make a video about all of the materials I used. If you are already starting and want to know which materials to buy asap so that you can start, I could give you a quick summary in a DM. I personally wouldn't suggest buying an online course. Getting from 0 to a 50th percentile score you can definitely do on your own and a course won't help much with that. If you really start plateauing you could consider it, but I would recommend trying the alternatives first.

I’m still in my first year of my bachelor’s, but I was hoping I could prepare my GMAT this summer. I’ve pre-ordered the new edition of the manhattan prep that’s still out. I think I should move like this, already in the first year because in my opinion here in Italy there is more and more information about masters... and it is becoming more and more competitive. I would still be grateful if you could tell me what material you would recommend, where can I write to you? In any case thank you for this opportunity and I continue to support you from Italy!

Very smart to prepare early, I did the same think and I can tell it saves you from a lot of stress. You can write me on my LinkedIn, just type in Tom van Maastricht and you'll find me. I'll make sure to accept your connection request. Grazie mille per l'appoggio, l'apprezzo molto!

Hey Thomas, ik wist niet dat die bestond, maar klinkt als een goed idee. Ga je ook MIF doen of een ander programma? kijk er in ieder geval naar uit je op de campus te zien.

@@EuroStudyPro is een redelijk nieuwe organisatie dus staat nog niet op de site waarschijnlijk. Ik ga de MiM doen aangezien ik nog maar 6 weken werkervaring zal hebben wanneer ik start en de MiF me daarom niet ideaal leek. Ik hoop wel in Finance te specialiseren 🙂

Good to hear!

I'm very sorry for not replying earlier. I'm afraid I've missed your comment... I am going to post more videos about the GMAT soon, but in a short summary: My best advice would be to use the GMATclub exercises (they're free) and make a lot of notes. Get yourself some mock exams that have strong analytics features and make sure to focus on your weaknesses before moving on to more difficult questions. But then again: your notes are the most important. Once you get to the hard questions it's all about specific tricks to specific questions. Make elaborate notes and you'll know how to solve a hard question the second time you encounter a similar one. Hope that makes up for the delayed response haha

Hey imatte, a series about studying for the gmat is in the making!

thank you!​

Hoi Thomas, Ik heb in januari 2023 een score behaald van 760, maar houd er wel rekening mee dat dit nog was voor de focus edition. Stuur me gerust een connectie verzoek op LinkedIn!

Hey, Thomas ik zie deze comment nu pas. Ik had 760 op de GMAT en stuur me gerust een connectieverzoek!

@@EuroStudyPro whats ur linkedin id?

It was too far by train, but it is definitely my favorite city in the Netherlands! (not just because of the name haha)

I personally went for a suit without a tie to look formal but not too uptight. In my case the interviewer and the alumni were not formally dressed, so a neat shirt would also go well. Just make sure to not look unprofessional by wearing a sweater or a simple t-shirt.

The interview itself takes about 25-30 minutes but you will have to be ready about 15 minutes before and enter the Zoom call. There you will automatically join the Time Out room of the call with other applicants and HEC students. You can ask the students various questions about the university, campus, associations, etc. For me the time I had before with the students helped me to destress a little and to get more comfortable. Let me know if you have any further questions and I wish you all the best with your HEC application!

Happy to help
