Diane, MIM program, Bocconi University, Dec 2021, Student of the Month

Meet Diane, a very young talented candidate who recently got accepted to Bocconi University for a MIM program. She's just 22 years old and a French citizen. She did her bachelor's in business administration from the ESSEC Business School and thought to apply for a master's in the same area, and that's why she contacted Dr Hubert to work with him and get the guidance to make it to her dream school. She wanted to study abroad, so her target schools were mainly abroad. She knows Italian, French, Chinese, English, and Portuguese. Her skills lie in Adobe Photoshop, WordPress, Adobe Photo Studio, Microsoft PowerPoint, digital marketing, digital graphics, and Microsoft Office. Apart from her studies, she worked doing content marketing, digital marketing, social media, web design project manager, etc. We had a short interview session with her to learn about her educational background, her current plans, future objective, and everything. We thought to share it with you to inform all the people who are looking to do the same. So, look at the below section to see her complete story!

Could you please tell us something about yourself?

 

My name is Diane Wittmeyer, and I am 22 years old. I am a French business student. I have just graduated from a bachelor's program at ESSEC Business School in business and administration. I had several professional experiences during this program. I am pursuing my subsequent studies at Bocconi University with a master's in international management. 

 

Did you consider any other school too? How did you decide that?

 

So, during my bachelor's program, I quickly realised that I'd get a master's degree afterwards because the courses at ESSEC's bachelor only gave broad experience. I felt that I needed to have specific knowledge about the particular area, job and sector, so I thought I would do another master's degree. 

 

Is there any particular reason for you choosing a MIM and not an MBA?

 

No specific reason. I thought that an MBA requires years of experience, and that people would be older than me, so I was more comfortable with a MIM program and found it more fitting for my future objectives. 



What other schools did you consider while you were applying?

 

I considered schools that are not in France for several reasons. The first is that I want to experience different cultures and work abroad. I thought it would be good to get my master's degree in the country where I want to work, so these were my reasons. I have applied to ESSEC, London Business Schools, and a few more. 

 

What advice would you give to future applicants?

 

have a few things to convey. The first is to know what you want, what is your target, and why are you doing this. It takes a lot of time and effort, and if you lose sight, you might give up. Trust your potential and make your dream come true. I would also say to take help from professionals like Dr Hubert because it isn't easy.
