Excelling in the HEC Interview - A comprehensive guide

[@denisdiaries]

Your name is literally Maastricht but you went to Tilburg whyyyyyyy?

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

What do you recommend wearing for the interview?

[@EuroStudyPro]

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.

awesome video! What are your tips on acing the GMAT? How long did you study for it etc.

[@EuroStudyPro]

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

How long is the interview itself and is there any preparation or question time before the actual interview?

[@EuroStudyPro]

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!
