I recommend taking it asap, and uk. Its a great uni, highly ranked for econ and great study abroad options. I will also be applying to UK unis however I would prefer Bocconi and then possibly US or UK for postgrad

Yourself?

Im from eastern europe. Bocconi is also my first choice since it is a target institution for investment banks. I would also like to apply to some of the uni's in the uk but not all of them recognize the high school diploma from my country, so my first choice is bocconi. + as far as i know it's pretty easy to get a scholarship

Do you know what the requirements are for a scholarship, and which scholarships are available?

there are 2 types of scholarship:
1) Merit Award -for which in order to be considered you need an sat score ofr cr+math>1300 with at least 600 in each of the sections +strong academic credentials . Also for this scholarship you dont need to send any additional documents so you are automatically considered for it. If you get the scholarship you will get a full tuition waver and free acommodation.
2) Bocconi need based scholarship for international students only. For this one you'l have to send a lot of documents regrding your family's economic condition. If you are awarded you will recieve a tuition waver only.

yeah Im a first year student at bocconi.have you applied to other unis though?the thing about bocconi is that even though it is considered by many to be a target school,not many students get jobs after the bachelors.this may be bad or good depending on your future plans.

nah man, its the only international school im applying, the rest are here in chile.
but if i get addmited i plan to do a masters in england germany or the us. does that sound reasonable?

Yeah that's upto you. Bocconi is great for masters though and is easily on par with Warwick ,imperial and all the top uk schools for an msc in finance or management.if you are planning on staying in one of the uni residences,try getting into arcobaleno .a lot of Chilean students live there,so you will feel at home.if your SAT score is above 1750 you will surely get in so don't worry .getting in is not tough,getting out is .cheers :smile:

man i really thank you for the info your giving me. really appreciate it. i got 1910 in the sat, do u think ill get a scholarship?

I think anyone who has a score of 1800 or more on the SAT is eligible for a scholarship.some of my friends got an academic schol.with an 1800 too so i think you have a high chance of getting one.however,that might only be for the first year and in order to maintain it for subsequent years ,you will have to score a GPA of more than 26 out of 30 but that just might depend on the conditions .there are financial aid scholarships as well which are given to you ,depending on the financial conditions of your family.you might just want to have a look at those too.the worst part about bocconi is that most of the students here are on a scholarship,even the undeserving ones :smile:

.feel free to ask any questions.ciao
