Hey everyone! Incoming student for Fall 2026 here (MSc at HEC). I submitted my CAQ application on April 15 and I'm still waiting on acceptance. The processing time listed was 25 business days, which would put me right around now… but nothing yet.

Just wanted to check in – has anyone else been in the same boat recently? Did you get yours on time, or did it run over? Trying to figure out if I should be worried or if delays are pretty common right now.

Any insight appreciated! 🙏

Hi,

I am graduating from UQAM this winter 2027 with internships at Aliaxis + BNP Paribas + KPMG with a 3.45/4.3 GPA, with no Cal l, Cal II, or linear algebra, what are my chances?

On the website, HEC montreal usually explicitly mentions pre-req. like Cal l, Cal ll or linear algebra BUT for the MSC it only mentions a bachelor's degree with 90 credits, would I be eligible?

Even though it is not said, I would be inclined to think you would probably need those math classes, not sure since it's not said, but would I absolutely need to take equivalence classes for the math?

Do they consider the professional experience when applying (internships)?

Also I can show a medical note for my GPA being "low".

Thank you for taking the time and also feel free to answer based on facts, experience and not just opinions, please. 😄

Hello. I'm considering doing an MBA but not sure if part or full time is more suitable for my case. I work full time, but have a very flexible job and I can manage workload efficiently. When are courses offered for both options (daytime, evenings, weekend)? Is it strictly in person? What's the actual work load? Thanks!

Bonjour, je viens de finir ma première année de BAA au Hec Montréal, le problème c’est que j’ai eu un E en GOL et j’ai retiré mon cours de comptabilité de gestion car j’avais eu une mauvaise note a mon intra. Le reste de mes autres cours j’ai eu de très bonnes notes. Vu que je rentre normalement en deuxième année, je ne sais pas quand reprendre mes cours, je me dis que je devrait reprendre GOL en hiver mais cela me fera 6 cours en une session, n’est-ce pas un peu trop ?
