HEC do not care about your position. HEC will give first preference to the candidate. If he is shortlisted and his preference is according with qualification. HEC change the preference of those who has selected wrong place. Like if a person who has 16 Year Education and select China, Germany, Austria or France than HEC will place him at other place. Otherwise he will give it first choice. Your GAT score is the only thing that play role in Shortlisting. Next Phase in Interview your positions will be helpful.
