Following yesterday's release of the bachelor's results, the focus is now entirely on the MSc admissions. According to the Bocconi website, decisions were expected by the end of May; however, given that the bachelor's and law results have already been published, I suspect the MSc outcomes might be released sooner than expected.

Does anyone have any insights or updates on this?

Hi everyone,

I’m currently a high school student aiming for Bocconi University in the near future. While researching the ISU scholarship, I hit a dilemma regarding the financial documents and would love to get your advice.

My household has 6 members (including my grandparents and an uncle with a chronic illness). My parents' actual income is quite low, around 10 million VND/month (~4,400 EUR/year).

I know this low income will guarantee a highly competitive ISEE-U score. However, I’m deeply concerned that it falls below the minimum financial threshold required by the Italian Embassy/CAF for a 6-person family, which might risk a visa or document rejection.For those who applied, should I keep the papers exactly as they are and explain our low cost of living, or should I declare a slightly higher, safer income range (e.g., 200M–250M VND/year) to secure the visa while still staying well within the highest ISU bracket?

I’d be incredibly grateful for any advice or insights from your past experiences. Thank you so much!"

Hello. I recently got accepted to the BESS program at Bocconi and I am weighing on whether going there or to the Business & Economics program at Stockholm School of Economics. I am Swedish and I know that in the Swedish job market an SSE degree is highly valued. From what I understand, there are graduates who work in London but I would assume they are fewer than at Bocconi because the school only has 2k vs 15k students. Which university would position me best for a career in high finance? I don’t really understand where Bocconi has an edge geographically. In London you have to compete with people from LSE, Oxford, Cambridge etc, in Switzerland St. Gallen and in Sweden SSE.

I got into my last choice (BIG) and wouldnt go since its not something Im really interested in. BIEM was my first choice, is there anything I can do in this position?

Just got rejected with 50/50 BT and 9.02 GPA. I even had BESS on my list. This is crazy. Who are we even competing with?

Hey, I just got admitted. After I fill my enrollment, how long do I have to fill all scholarship applications?

Im going to do a undergrad degree in business with finance at a non target uni like University of Birmingham. I want to break into wealth management which is the best uni to do a MSc finance and are there different tiers. Ideally for zurich or london wm.

I know bocconi, lse and st gallen are very strong options. What are some other under rated options that place well and are good back up options in case I cant get into these 3? Is ie and Esade Msc finance decent?

Also what should I do to ensure I can maximize my chances for msc finance applications. Other than a first class honors, any certain ECAs or internships that can maximize my chances.

I would love to hear any feedback or advice regarding this matter.

I got into BIEM, but I did also applied for BEMACS and BIEF. Will I be considered in the waitlist?

Any advice etc would help 🙏

can u see your ranking or is there another waitlist message

Are you ready chat?
