What is the ideal IESE MBA student?
Both professional experience and also personal experience count. We are looking for a candidate that, apart from the [exam] results and transcripts — which have to be good — through this professional experience and personal experience, has a professional maturity. That is something that we pick up on in the interview. Q: Which IESE applicants land interviews? A: All of the people we see as good candidates for IESE are interviewed, because we are very interested in knowing them. That’s why all of the admitted students are interviewed. When we receive a [complete] application, we have a committee decide if the candidate will have an interview or not. So if the candidate doesn’t go to an interview, he is rejected. The interview is when we would discuss the [candidate’s] professional experience, but also the separate activities. 2000 IESE Admission Profile Total Enrollment 440 Full-Time Students 440 Tuition/Board $16,765; N/A Female 24% Non-U.S. Citzens N/A Underrepresented Minorities N/
