A dilemma…
I have been accepted at HEC (Paris) and IESE (Barcelona) for their 2018 classes. I need to let them know my decision by the 2nd and 11th March respectively, which involves paying a 5-8k euro deposit.
However, I have also been asked to interview at both Harvard and Kellogg (my #1 and #2 choices) but won’t find out whether I have been admitted at either until late March. This means I either:
- Pay the deposit for HEC or IESE and risk losing the money if I get into HBS or Kellogg; or
- Say no to both IESE and HEC but risk rejection from both HBS and Kellogg, leaving me with no b-school options on the table.
Any advice? Do you think I can tell IESE / HEC my predicament and say that, in order to make a well-informed decision, I need to know my position with all the schools I’ve applied to?
Thoughts appreciated!Thanks.
