Bocconi 2016 Applicants

Applications for Academic year 2016/2017 will open on 15 October 2015

Great summary!
I just have one question about the "outstanding GPA" (http://www.unibocconi.eu/wps/wcm/connect/Bocconi/SitoPubblico_EN/Navigation+Tree/Home/Campus+and+Services/Services/Application+and+Admission/Admission+-+Bachelor+Programs/Discover+your+talent+Admission+Bachelor+Programs+a+y++2016-2017/ADMISSION+-+BACHELOR+PROGRAMS+outstanding+GPA). My average is higher than what is presented on this page, does this mean that I will get in or is it just the minimum requirement for them to even look at my application? Have you seen any info about this during your research? Also, I'm an international applicant.

I've seen that Bocconi is underrepresented on this forum and a lot of us had to do some google-fu to find the answers to our questions.

I've gathered the following info. It only applies to international applicants.

SAT
1. SAT needed for acceptance: >1750 (at least 600 on M and CR).
2. SAT needed for scholarship: >1900 on SAT to have a chance at the Merit Scholarship with a >1350 on Math+Critical Reading. It's highly recommended to have >=700 at Math. On a thread here on TSR I've seen 2 users with 680 Math score (with over 1300 M+CR) that have been awarded The International Award Scholarship (50% tuition reduction) while a user with 700 M was awarded the Merit Scholarship. Based on this, it's safe to say that Math is the most important subject even if they say that M and CR have the same importance.

Clarifications:
1. 3rd last and second last year of school means the 10th and 11th grade.
2. The IT certificate could be uploaded after you have been admitted
3. For Merit Scholarships you don't have to upload further documents.

Things straight from Bocconi's students mouth (grain of salt needed):
1. It's easier to get in in the Spring Session
2. It's easy to get in, hard to graduate.
3. Each International Applicant is on some kind of scholarship.
4. Bocconi is full of snobs.

In the next couple of months I have to get my Language certificate and the SAT with a 1900+ score - to have a slim chance at the Merit Scholarship.

I didn't think of continuing my studies (graduated HS in 2010) until I've found about Bocconi two weeks ago. Better late than never, I guess.

So, are SATs still required for students taking the A levels? What are the minimum A level requirements for entry? I'm taking Maths, ICT, Business Studies.

What do you think the Bocconi admission's committee looks at the most? I'm an applicant from the United States with a pretty good SAT score 2140 (720 CR/730 M), but I'm still uncertain whether I'll get in with a scholarship. Bocconi is one of my dream schools, and I hope I get in!

I'll be applying as well. Do you have any idea of how important the IT-Certificates are? As an avid programmer, I feel as if they are unnecessary.

Elements of evaluation
Profiles will be evaluated based on the following elements:

IB score of 27 and SAT of 1580 (CR+M+W) with 1130 CR+M, international applicant. Do I have a shot ?

No

What if I pull up my SAT scores ?

Guys SAT score of 1970 here. CR 590 Math 760, do I have a shot at a scholarship?

Wow, your maths score is great! I think you have a good shot at getting a scholarship.

Then again, I am applying this year as well and I haven't gotten in yet. So take my opinions with a grain of salt.

Okay fantastic! Good luck to you! Hope we both get in and get scholarships.

Good luck to you too! Where are you from by the way? Are you applying to any other schools like IE, ESADE, etc.?

I'm Italian from my mother's side and Pakistani from my father's side. Bocconi is actually the only school I'm applying to in Europe barring the UK. Makes sense considering I have family in Italy. Other than Bocconi and some places in the UK, I'm also applying to the US and to Canada. Wbu?
