Have been a lurker in this forum for some time now. But for the benefit of others like me, here is my profile as well

GRE: Q 800/800; V 680/80; Essay 4.5/6.0
Nationality: Indian

Qualification:
B.E. (Chem engineering.) - College usually ranked among the top 10 in India (CGPA: 3.8)
M.E. (Chem engineering.) - Fairly well-known research institute, also in India (CGPA: 3.4)

Work Experience:
1 yr: Software developer in a software co. (among the 10 largest software companies in the world - worked before Masters degree here)
10+ months: Process engineer in an Energy co. (among the 10 largest companies in the world - working here now, after Masters degree) - will be resigning soon though

Admit:
ESSEC Phd in marketing (quantitative track)

Had to withdraw from an interview call from HEC Paris, since I had to confirm with ESSEC before the interview date itself, and couldn't afford to gamble

(only 2 applications)

Asides: Had absolutely zero exposure to any kind of management studies (except for a mandatory industrial engineering/economics course in undergraduate studies), but significant exposure to scientific research and math modeling, though no publication from my work (yet!).

Just posting this so that other people with backgrounds like mine do not hesitate to apply .

P.S. Is it possible to find out who are the current PhD students at ESSEC? I couldn't even find a facebook group for them
Is anyone else on this forum joining ESSEC in Sept 2009?
Hey, I am also from India,doing Engineering from Jadavpur University,Kolkata. but I am wondering how you got your GPA in the scale of 4. I have not heard any university following the same system.

By the way I am also applying for ESSEC-sept 2010. So did you get any scholarships or something?
