Which program are you applying to? I also want to know because I have a low GMAT score of 640 and an above-average GPA.

Hi sissope and orihime3

GMAT scores are generally considered more universally comparable than GPA's and their recency also increases their weighting. GPA's ranges fluctuate a lot between different undergrad programs to the GMAT serves a counterbalance.

I'd suggest trying to boost your GMAT score quickly by focusing on Test Taking Skills in a short 1-2 week performance coaching program. Happy to demonstrate in a FREE Testing Simulation (live practice tests coaching) session -- you'll know exactly what your Test Taking Skills gaps are and how to fix them with 5-10 hours of coaching.

Let me know if you're interested.

there is no information about your career background
have you seen the class profile of the course you want to pursue?
to increase chances of getting an interview invite gmat score should be atleast matching to class avg.

Hello sissope,

You have not shared enough information for a profile evaluation. Having said that, the average GMAT of the MBA class at SDA Bocconi is around 670; therefore, chances of making it with a 600 on the GMAT are low.

All teh best!

Hello guys,

I applied to Bocconi end of November 2021 in round one with a GMAT of 620, because the lady at the info event urged people to just apply as early as possible even if their GMAT is not optimal.

She said we could upload a better GMAT later on, as long as its before the 20th of January - long story short I retook the GMAT, its now 710, but they won't let me upload it into my application.

Should I withdraw my application and reapply now still in round 2?

If I wait for the full round 1 feedback round, it will be round 4 by then and if I don't get admission my chances will be severely worse, right?

Thanks for your help/advice/opinions!

Yes for sure. Difference in score is huge. With that score, I would apply to better schools. Try LBS or Insead. Plus, the Italian economy is not doing so good so...
