Calling all IESE Applicants: (2016 Intake) Class of 2018!!

Hi Guys

I am applying for Round 1. Here is a little info about me.
28 year old Indian male with Masters from US. I am a Chemical Engineer with 2 years experience in Biodeisel and 5 years experience in Lithium ion batteries. My focus has been on product development and manufacturing in the renewable energy sector.
I am applying only in Europe to enter the European energy market for renewables.
I have extracurricular work for 3 non profits in the past 3 years. I have tutoring experience in Science and Math for the past 4 years.
Hopefully we can get more activity on this string. If everyone about introduce themselves and tell a little bit about their profile we can get a discussion going.

Hi Guys,

So a bit of my background story .... I applied in Round 3 for Class of 2017 and attended the AD in Barcelona in April end. A couple of weeks after the AD, I received IESE's letter stating that I had been wait listed. Last month, I received my final admissions decision with IESE offering me a place in the Class of 2018 as the Class of 2017 was already full. I accepted IESE's offer and will be joining the Class of 2018.

One advice that I would give everyone is to apply early in the first or second round as competition is only going to get tougher in the third and fourth round when the Class starts becoming full. Would be happy to answer any questions that people might have. Good luck to everyone.

In for round 1 - Best of luck everyone!

Hello All, Hello Narenn,

First of all, i would introduce myself.
I'm a French Engineer, currently working in US since 2010 in the automotive industry.
I'm planning to apply for the 2016 intake of IESE, to change industry with my general management education.

I have a question about the table of rounds summary published by Narenn.
- How is it possible that all rounds are done, according to the datas published on your table, if the 1st round starts in October 2015?

I'm afraid to miss the '16 intake...

Thanks,

Although, I have no official information on the interview decision date, in the past it has been 7-10 days after deadline. I would expect that would stay the same. I will be looking to hear back between October 7th and 10th.
