Oh nice! Are you planning to attend? I was admitted too with 25% scholarship. I am actually a candidate from last year and I delayed the MBA for 1 year, so I am planning to attend this upcoming edition 50.
Also wondering if anyone got one of those bigger scholarships so far? First round result was out on 12/15/23.

Still choosing but most probably I'll go to Oxbridge instead. Mainly because as an Italian I'm looking for a greater change and impact from the program.

ah I'm so dumb - I thought 1/12 was an application round deadline; its just a scholarship round... app process is too stressful

They are admitting on a rolling basis so there are no rounds or deadlines. First come, first served

Preinterview experience is like other programs, like Kira

on my case:
Which characteristics makes a leader? (o something like that)
What is your main weakness?
What you expect to learn at Bocconi?

Actually, I thought the same about my pre-interview
But, after 24 days, they invited me to an interview.

Wait for their call, I think they know that 1 minute to answer a cold question is not easy for everyone

The interview was very conversational
Talk about yourself, your interests, your motivation, your post mba goals
Why an MBA and why Bocconi
What would be your add value to the class
Any other information to share with us

Do you have any other question for us?
