Honest guides and first-hand experiences on programs, applications, and life after the MiM.
From the editor
Independent, and written from experience.
I'm Mayank — an HEC Paris MiM alumnus who has sat on the admissions jury and mentored 50-plus applicants into top European programs. I built this site because the information online was either too thin or too obviously promotional to trust. Here you get the honest version: what actually moves an application, from someone who has read them from the other side of the table.
Profiles are refreshed each May–June from official school sources; fees, deadlines and class data come straight from the schools, and the qualitative read comes from alumni and firsthand experience.
From the other side of the table
I've sat on the admissions jury. Here's exactly what I'd hand you.
