This really was helpful and I had reached you out with the same set of questions you answered to now a month back, thanks a lot, you doing really great👍🏼

[@dubstep7664]

Hey Mayank please can you do if the double degrees from HEC is worth it like the Yale and Cambridge one?

[@treasure7068]

Hi Mayank, I just have a doubt. Can I apply before giving my final exams? As I'm in the last year.

[@alihussain6432]

Idk if you know him but your channel gives a bit vibe of Ali Abdaal. There are loads of things similar.. not that you intend to. But it's kind of coincidence.. Also I like the idea of you having a website and newsletter. I am subscribed to you now. Because I know you are going to be on youtube for a long time ☺️. You don't just make videos, you have a vision with this channel. And I'm glad to see this 👏.

[@MayankSehgal]

Haha I'm not gonna lie, I'm quite inspired by him! Thanks for the subscription! :)

[@manishkalluri2685]

Do we need any academic GPA requirements for this program??

[@Jeet_Jain]

I have studied french in 8th, 9th and 10th grade but I am not that fluent so will it help me getting into the Summer school and will it also help me in the future for the MIM program (that i have studied french for 3 years)??

[@anuragkar7489]

Hey Mayank, is Veritas Prep good for GMAT?

[@sney7972]

Looks like the only mode available this year is online (maybe due to covid). Would you say the experience would still be worth it?

[@KiranKumarYT]

Now I wanna go to Paris even more because I wanna learn how to use chopsticks!!!!

[@dhruvpatel8875]

The video was very helpful but I surfed but it said the course is online in the year 2021.

What is the acceptance rate for hec summer school?

[@baadal_016]

Hey Mayank! What will be the overall cost of the summer school(including accommodation, food, and other expenses)?

[@abdulmajid-zl3sx]

Accommodation - almost 400 euros It's there in the hec website.

[@MayankSehgal]

All this information is on the website :)

[@baadal_016]

@@abdulmajid-zl3sx Okay but there are other expenses as well( transportation, food etc).. So it's better to make a budget before going.

[@abdulmajid-zl3sx]

@@baadal_016 yaa the food I guess its for two weeks right will cost around 300 euros. I don't know about the transportation costs

[@IndoEuropeanboy]

Hello I have been in france and by my experience i can clearly tell you about its experience don't even think pf studying there especially in a private university and finding accomodation is really tough in france i would never recommend france prefer Italy Malta for bachelor and Germany Austria Scandinavian countries for masters or English speaking country You should never pay your fees all your tution fees all at once always prefer in installments.

[@nathanpinto6509]

Hey bro is there a lot of bullying and drugs going in manipal?

[@AmanRaj-dt2hc]

Is the online mode as good as the on campus mode for same course in Summer School?

[@MayankSehgal]

Nope. There's no point in doing it if it's online. Do it on campus!

[@siddharthjain5523]

@@MayankSehgal Hey, I’m interested in doing summer school in investment banking and international finance .Is there a chance that it could be held on campus in 2022? Great content btw!

[@katyaallisonbingcang2675]

Hi! I just want to ask how long did you wait for the results? :)

[@MayankSehgal]

I don't remember but it was quick!

[@geetanjaliism]

Man you're rich...

[@rushrajput3]

Hello ....I m from india nd currently I m doing diploma in civil engineering from pune(india) nd I wanna to pursue bachelor's degree in civil engineering from France....the main point over this is I know french very well...nd my french language is too included in my 10th ssc certificate....but speaking frankly I don't wanna to spend much money on accomodation nd all that ....so can u plz refer me some universities having good education as well as low fee structure?

[@AayushKrishnan]

So did it make it easier for you to get accepted into HEC MiM because you did the summer school, thus establishing credibility?

[@MayankSehgal]

Exactly. But had I done the finance summer school maybe not as much - because the rest of my profile focused on marketing.

[@AayushKrishnan]

@@MayankSehgal Oh thanks. Can I reach out to u on Linkedin? I'm from Manipal as well btw

[@Hana-gc9hf]

Do we need to write an English proficiency test too?

[@MayankSehgal]

If you've studied your bachelor's in English, then no!

[@ketulpatel9786]

Hey mayank Ketul this side currently I'm doing bba so can a graduate from commerce also apply for MIM of hec.

[@MayankSehgal]

of course

[@muskanmishra715]

Hey Mayank I have 78% in grade 12 and 9.2 CGPA in Graduation. So will my grade 12 marks hamper my application?
