and Skema.

Is being invited for interviews at these schools promising? Does anyone know what percentage of applicants get invited to the interviews?

Anyone who's been to the interviews have any tips on how it goes? This is for the Grande E'cole Master in Management program by the way.

Hi,

I am applying to EM Lyon now but for the European Master in Management. Mind sharing how the interview went? And your profile?

Thanks!

Hi! The interview was actually not as bad as I thought. I was scared because people told me it was quite rigorous but I was actually very at ease. They did ask me things about the European economic crisis though so be sure to have some information about that.

I found out a few days ago that I was admitted to Audencia Nantes, Skema, and EM LYON :)

Thank you! Yes, I've actually decided on a school in Spain though. I'll be attending ESADE in the fall :) The SAI interviewers also rely heavily on what you put in your resume by the way, so make sure you have answers for everything you put there. Best of luck!
