Sat: 1480

Gpa: 4/4
Major: finance/econ

The problem is my family income is about 12k$ a year for 4 people which is pretty common in my country. But my family can contribute up to 5k$ from
Savings. Should I consider other colleges? Can I get CSS fee waiver?

My essays are good but can’t tell the same with honors. Should I apply for Ed with current stats or should I retake sat for 1520+ then go with Rd?

Isu scholarship

Hey guys. Hope you are doing well. I am from Uzbekistan and applying to Bocconi university this year. I would be glad if there is any Uzbek who has won isu scholarship and willing to help me. Both of my parents are self-employed and I don’t know how to get income tax/statements. Can I even win it? Cause if I don’t , I can neither study in the Bocconi nor I can get refund of enrollment. My family income is 9k$ for 5 people

Refund policy

If i apply for the scholarship after paying enrollment fee, and end up getting 20% scholarship, can i withdraw the offer? Can I get refund even if i got 20% scholarship? In early cycle. I heard so many guys lost their money because they won partial scholarships

Is it myth

I heard that IB companies does’t care about major if it is Target school. I am from uzbekistan and applying to Bocconi university( Italy). Finance program is too competitive, so I am planning to go with Econ and management. Do you think I still got good chance for Top firms as long as I keep good gpa and build amazing portfolio?

Career advice

Hey guys. I am a student from Uzbekistan. Currently my stats is not that good:

Sat 1440
Perfect gpa
And I am applying to Bocconi for bachelor’s degree.

I am particularly interested in investment banking ( might move to private equity). If you got any good advices, please share with me? Is my uni choice is good? Or should get 1-2 gap years and reapply to USA ivy schools.

Important question

Guys. If I get in, I have to deposit 3k€. Let’s say I applied in early, and apply to ISU after getting in. If I get rejected from ISU scholarship, in how many days can I get my money back? Or is it non-refundable?

Let’s say I got in, I got ISU scholarship, but I don’t want to attend uni (because I got another offers from unis) can I get my money back in 2027 march/ January
