Msc Finance Bocconi University

Question

Hello everyone!

I've recently applied to Bocconi's Msc in Finance (1st round of application).

I'm an Italian student from a uk non-target uni, I study international business and finance.
Expected grade: high 2.1 or low first class
GMAT: 660
Exchange program: 1 year in Madrid at CUNEF
Languages: I fluently speak Italian, English and Spanish
Internships: summer intern in a tech startup in Milan; summer intern in a Fintech company in Switzerland

Do you guys think I have a shot?

It's hard to say especially if you applied only to Finance (if you applied to the Italian taught program too your chances are definitely higher). Most of the Finance class of 2020 that I know,  were undergrad students, and the few that applied as external students had 700+ GMAT. Maybe you can contact some 2020 class students and ask them whether they had a higher GMAT, or better look at their Linkedin to see if they list their score.

OMGKEYNES I really don't get understand your comments. Isn't prestige the main reason why you choose Bocconi/LBS/Harvard etc?

Sure.

Went to a target undergrad and semi-target postgrad. Quite ordinary profile, 2:1 undergrad and 1:1 postgrad. As a student, I had two REPE internships and a student job at a megafund (asset management). I've wanted to do trading for as long as I can remember, but the whole business seems to be having trouble so I decided to leave after 18 months.

During my time in S&T I had three different rotations doing sales, trading and structuring exotics before lateraling in September to join an elite boutique in Scandinavia, which is where I'm originally from.

Sorry for confusing you but what I meant to say was that I would personally consider why you would go there in the first place before paying so much money. Maybe that's just me. If it is to get interviews at the big banks or consultancy firms, yes definnetly go for Bocconi. In my opinion that should be the real question, not whether u get in or not.

But to answer your question in the best of my ability:
I myself have no experience in applying there so I wouldn't know.
