Welcome to the first edition of Vault's
HEC School of Management, Paris Buzz Book. In this new and unique guide, we publish extended excerpts and sample admissions essays from surveys of students and alumni from HEC Paris to bring you the inside scoop on its MBA program. The survey comments cover the following areas:
- Admissions
- Academics
- Employment prospects
- Quality of life
- Social life
The guide is intended to serve as a complement to other references to business schools currently available that utilize school-reported data. Unlike those guides, Vault's Buzz Books (which also include the INSEAD Buzz Book, Business School Buzz Book , Law School Buzz Book and College Buzz Book) are composed almost entirely of information provided directly to Vault from students and alumni.
We received comments from HEC Paris. We have included comments next to appropriate survey sections, offset with a different font and indented to be easily recognizable as school-provided comments. Corrections within the body of the comments are enclosed in brackets. In the cases where a school provided separate narratives, we have included them at the end of each chapter, under the heading "The School Says."
