User avatar Noa Sure, will be forwarding you my CV soon. Thanks
06-30-2024
10:26:50 pm
User avatar Yotam Ziser - MBS Graduate @Lotem with pleasure. We returned to Israel after 3 years in Germany. Mannheim is a very strong brand in Germany but relatively unknown in Israel. Hence, I advise to accelerate your career in Germany for a couple of years before returning. That will make the big leap.
06-30-2024
10:25:08 pm
User avatar Yotam Ziser - MBS Graduate @Layal just to note the cost of living is quite low compared to Israel. Also, the cost-benefit on the MBS program is unmatched.
06-30-2024
10:25:04 pm
User avatar Mannheim @Noa yes your curent score is fine. :) send your cv to me at [email protected]

User avatar Noa I have a great GPA but I am not able to cross 630 in my two attempts of GMAT, I am too tired to give another try. Should I apply with my current score?
06-30-2024
10:24:26 pm
User avatar Mannheim @layal - no there is no full scholarship available.
06-30-2024
10:24:07 pm
User avatar Lotem Hi, TODA for all the above and having you on this chat Yotam really helps with the Israeli angle. Are you based in Israel? what do you about the Mannheim brand which is not very known here
06-30-2024
10:23:59 pm
User avatar Layal Do you offer a full scholarship?
06-30-2024
10:21:45 pm
User avatar Mannheim @Barak - Unfortunately a bachelors degree is a must. :(
06-30-2024
10:20:33 pm
User avatar Barak Hey, I do not hold an undergraduate degree but have a strong GMAT score (695 GMAT Focus) and an excellent career record in tech and military intelligence, including management experience. Would I still be considered for the MBA program? How significant is the lack of an undergraduate degree given that I surpass all other criteria?
06-30-2024
10:19:29 pm

06-30-2024
10:15:01 pm
User avatar Layal Hey, dear, I finished English Literature and Political Sciences in my Bachelor's. I do not have any experience related to business. Would it be difficult for me to be accepted? I have three years of experience in the educational field.
06-30-2024

06-30-2024
10:14:52 pm
User avatar Haya Balaum How do you recommend to prepare to the interviews for the admission?
06-30-2024
10:12:33 pm
User avatar Yotam Ziser - MBS Graduate @yuval Visa wise it is possible (for Israelis) but the program is quite demanding hence its not recommended.
06-30-2024
10:11:07 pm
User avatar Yotam Ziser - MBS Graduate @Amir From my personal experience - Yes. Most of my job interviews were driven by connections the career department has within various companies in Germany. Mannheim Bussiness School is a strong brand in Germany, and the career department really help in guiding through the local job market. Nobody will apply for you but they do offer significant assistance in my view.
06-30-2024
