Bocconi 2016 Applicants

Scroll to see replies

I never opposed that, top 5 UK unis are certainly better, but I don't see anyone denying this. Actually, the university is not overrated because in common opinion it is not ranked higher than Oxbridge or LSE (for example).

UCL, by Wikipedia, has 38K students while Bocconi 13K, since it's a relatively small uni focused mainly on economics. So there are probably a bit less societies, but I assure you that there are many (actually, one might argue that there are more than needed).

More than 50% of my class is definitely not Italian. It's true that some may know the language for some reason (family ties to Italy, bilingual education, etc), but these are a small fraction and anyways a French student who can speak Italian, for example, is still French.

I agree with you :smile:

When I said overrated I meant in Italy ahah

Hey just a question for the 2018-19 early application. I have a GPA of around 3.0-3.1 (out of 4). Say my SAT is around 1400 and I have a very sparkly resume and motivational essay plus good recommendations. What are my chances of getting in and getting a scholarship?
