Admissions

- Your application and supporting documents will be evaluated by a member of the HEC Paris admissions team to determine your fit for the program.

- If selected, candidates will then be invited to a two-step online interview with both École Polytechnique and HEC Paris.

Step One: Interview with École Polytechnique

•  During this interview, the jury will assess each candidate’s quantitative skills. If the jury determines that the skills displayed in the interview are strong, candidates will then be invited to the second interview.

Step Two: Interview with HEC Paris

• During this interview, the jury will assess each candidate’s suitability for the program and potential for success once the program is complete.

- Due to the structure of this program, the interview process may be longer than other degree programs that are offered. We therefore ask candidates to please wait at least 24 hours after the dates listed on this page to request information about their application and admission status.
