Has anyone been accepted into the MBA program? in particular the LBM Track?
I applied on February 9th and havent heard anything as of yet. Wanted to get an idea of timelines : (

THanks!

Ciao Tanya,
i have been accepted just yesterday (not in LMB though) after the interview i attended February 26, so exactly a couple of weeks for a "standard" track (i.e. not LMB).
Maybe LMB is a little bit longer because of some further internal processes necessary to select the LMB candidate.

Good luck!

Thanks so much for your reply Generale, and CONGRATULATIONS! Are you planning to attend ? I have been invited to interview and waiting to hear back from interviewer on when we can sit down for it. Hopefully they will follow the same time frame and I'll find out a few weeks after the interview takes place.

THanks again!

I would like to attend, but it depends whether I obtain a scholarship or not (because of course I do not have all the money required).
Good luck for your interview!

The results deadline for round I attended is April 15th. So I might have to wait even one month from now :sleeping:

Just did my interview last week with an alum. Hopefully it went well and now I am waiting. Any news from anyone else that was accepted recently?

Does anyone have any idea of how many spots are left in the program?

Did anyone here do the optional video pre-interview during the application process? What are your thoughts on it? I'm inclined to skip it, is that a good idea?

is it necessary to send the original transcripts and mark sheets to SDA Bocconi or we can send the certified copy?
In case or certified copy, whom with we can attest the documents or self attestation will be sufficient.
please reply as matter is urgent.

This must include grades for individual subjects with the grading scale, the type of degree, the date of graduation and the dates of enrolment.

Hi All, I have submitted my application for general MBA on April 29th and did my Video pre-interview couple of days later. Did not hear from the school yet.. Does anyone know if they are at full capacity?
Also, it is not clear from the Bocconi website if interview with the school is part of the process - can anyone clarify?

Could anyone say how long did SDA Bocconi take to get back to you after sending in your application? I've sent in my application so just trying to get an idea about the timeframes.

Hey guys...

I got my admit email on Friday. They have only provided the period of 10-12 days to accept or decline because we have to pay first instalment of our fee along with registration and it is non-refundable. But I am also waiting for their decision on scholarships. Is anybody else facing same dilemma ?

Has anybody received any tuition waivers till now ?

I assume they will deduct scholarship amount fron your 2nd and 3rd paymnets... Unless you hope for the full one. Why dont you ask admissions directly - they seem to be pretty responsive (:

Thanks Kristina888... Admissions team told me that they will let me know in the subsequent rounds. In that case I would have to pay my first instalment regardless of whether I get scholarship or not because my deadline is approaching. It is a tough decision to make.

I'm interested of SDA bocconi and am planning to apply for class of 2018..
If I apply in time, or (Kind of 1st round) Does Admin give enough acceptance period to wait for the scholarship announcement?

Hi Kristina

I am an SDA Bocconi admit matriculating in September. I did my interview with an alumni from the school in my home country. They offer you the option to do the interview at the school however i believe they can perform a skype interview or alumni interview if you are not able to go there.
