HEC Paris

[hjoerngaard]

Hello!!

Okay, here is the story!

I'm a Danish guy studying Bsc & international management at ASB in Denmark. I'm currently on my third and final year. right now I'm on exchange in Canada.
I have recently thought about applying for HEC paris for the Msc in finance.

So, my question is if it is even realistic for me to have a chance to get accepted? I will complete the GMAT and hope to get the required score. And letter of recommendations from two professors from my school. Other than that i'm an above average business student, but very fond of finance courses. All my electives are finance courses.

I do not have any work experience in the finance area.

I hope you can share some of your knowledge and expertise with me, since I don't know the level of difficulty it is to get accepted to these schools.

Thank you very much in advance, for you answer!

Dear Jeppe,

The best way to get an idea of whether or not you are competitive for any school is to compare your profile to its class profile. If your GMAT and GPA are above average, then that is a positive for you. With regards to work experience, if the majority of the class has work experience, then that should tell you that the school values work experience in its candidates and thus to be admitted without any will require you to exceed a high standard. I would also suggest you do plenty of research on the schools are you considering, attend any events in your area where you can speak with representatives, and participate in online chats where you can gain further insight.

Good luck,
Lisa
