Do you want to see more videos about my LA experience? :) (in addition to HEC Paris stuff)

[@AbhinavSingh1401]

Yusss, no doubt

[@ameyashirsate9731]

Yes

[@mariealexandraallidjinou3390]

Yes, that'd be cool. I want to know more about the importance of the gap year, the minimum number of months of internship you need for the MiM, and the possibility to do so after the M2 year.

[@ayushsingh6435]

Yes 🙌🏻

[@shefaliriyal4607]

Yuss please

hey Mayank . I really like your videos. Great stuff.

[@filippoiguera3224]

1:01 change hat Thank you again for the video!

[@ilm233]

Great video! Wondering if you could do a video more about the language barrier with internships/jobs? What is the day-to-day like being only a beginner in the language and how limited are you options if you're not yet fluent in French? Thanks!

[@lauraliciousfy]

Hec with internship in the us & paris cosmetic industry?! That's my dream!

[@MayankSehgal]

I hope it comes true for you too!

[@lauraliciousfy]

Thanks and thanks for the video! Very refreshing to see such a review finally from HEC. ;)

[@igmyeong1791]

Hey! Such useful and beautiful content. Great work, man. Just wanted to know if you've considered taking up the exchange program? And if not, were there any MIM students who opted for double degree that you know of? What are the prospects?

[@gulfishakhan3136]

Can You make a video on resume, and also show how your resume look alike?

[@shreyasaxena5160]

Yes. Also I wanted to take advice. I recently gave Gmat mock and scored less than 50% and I am planning to purchase Magoosh premium after watching good reviews from your video. Should I go for it ?

[@TIMVIX]

Hello Mayank! What was your French level when you applied for internship at MAC?

[@MayankSehgal]

Hey! It wasn't top, but it didn't matter because they didn't require it.

[@jayasaravanan577]

Hi, great informative video! I am planning on applying to HEC Paris and I want to know how you went ahead with this gap year? Do you get an internship first and then decide on a gap year? Or do you decide on doing a gap year then look for internships?

[@MayankSehgal]

You need to decide on the gap year in January or so (so before you get an internship) :) So yeah it's a bit pressuring because if you don't find an internship you just keep looking haha

[@sharathramachandran]

@@MayankSehgal that laugh off is a thin scary thread, my friend. Keep the good work man.

[@meetimian3383]

​@@MayankSehgalI'm doing my masters in management of technology and information systems at ESIEE Paris. Is there any chances of me getting an internship in US?

[@meetimian3383]

​@@MayankSehgalI'm also doing my masters in France. They say it's close to impossible to find an internship in US because they have to sponsor us. What about sponsorship??

[@mayomayo9557]

Please how can I stay in France after study please

[@ameyashirsate9731]

How much did u earn in both the internship ik it’s a personal question but it would help in financially planning the MIM course.

[@MayankSehgal]

Hey! The internships usually pay enough to cover all your living costs, and sometimes a bit more. :) If you get lucky you can get a very high paying one which allows you to save, but mostly you won’t be able to save so much from the internship stipend.

[@mushimushi2955]

Hello sir i want to ask that does class 10 12 marks matter for mim admission and placement there plss reply 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@harshilpandit4452]

Not him but I can tell you that 10th and 12th marks don't even matter for admission. Colleges in Europe don't have placement system. They do have career services that can recommend you right things to get job, but it's your hustle that'll land you opportunity.

[@mushimushi2955]

@@harshilpandit4452 what about London business school

[@harshilpandit4452]

@@mushimushi2955 Placement system is specific to India brother. About LBS, they pay a lot of attention on college profile. So if you're someone who was in various positions of responsibilities and also had very good grades in college along with a good GMAT score, LBS can be a choice.
