Frequently asked questions
What GMAT score do I need for HEC Paris?

What careers do HEC MiM graduates pursue?
Financial services and consulting together account for roughly half of the graduating class. Technology, luxury, energy, and entrepreneurship round out the rest. Top recruiters include McKinsey, BCG, Bain, J.P. Morgan, Goldman Sachs, LVMH, Kering, and Amazon. The 2025 employment rate at three months was 99%.
How competitive is HEC Paris MiM admission?
HEC admits roughly 400 students per cohort from several thousand applicants worldwide. The acceptance rate is in the low double digits, and the bar rises in later rounds as seats fill. Strong academics, international exposure, a coherent career project, and demonstrated leadership are weighted heavily.
