How to secure your admit to ESCP

🔍 Today we’re going though how we sent one of our students to ESCP’s Master in Management:

Context:

Our student came to us hesitating between masters in finance and masters in management, hesitating between ESCP, Bocconi, and Imperial. He had a decent GPA, from a decent University but did not want to take the GMAT.

The Makeover:

1. Strategic Guidance - we went over his career aspirations (location, mobility, network,..) to best assess the programs suited for him given his profile

➡️ This allowed us to establish his adequate list of masters.

His CV was lacking in concise, quantified, precise bullet points and expected structure

➡️ We worked alongside him turn his CV into a top-tier Goldman/Mckinsey standard CV to maximise first impressions.

2. Reference Letters - an often highly overlooked part of the process is not guiding your referees in crafting highly laudatory recommendation letters. This will lead to you having similar letters/reco forms to other candidates.

➡️ We worked with him to set expectations and guide his referees to strong letters. The LoR part can often be decisive in a student application as it is the only place in your application file when you can talk about yourself with someone else‘s voice.

3. Story - without a doubt one of the most important aspects of a candidate’s file.

➡️ We helped him play up on his heritage and background for programs very attentive to international propensity, linking it with his aspirations to pursue the real estate private equity scene in the long term.

4. Interview Prep - once the interview was secured, it was all about matching him with the right talents to help him succeed and convert the final stage.

➡️ We matched him with three of our in-house talents for 5 different mocks, which were in his case sufficient to make him highly prepared, with Jacoppo, an Italian student (LBS/INSEAD/ESCP), Thomas (LBS/INSEAD/ESCP), and Pietro (ESSEC/ESCP) who knew exactly how to navigate the interview and guide him to success.

Result? ➡️ Admission to his desired program :)

Our goal is to become the best prep company in Europe one student at a time by helping our students achieve the programs of their dreams with a unique approach - for students, by students, counselled by the right profiles.
