Hey LouisVitu,
Your academic performance, with a GPA of 3.4, is certainly commendable and positions you well to target top schools such as Bocconi. However, it's important to note that the reputation of your undergraduate institution also carries weight in the admissions process. Highlighting your alma mater, particularly if it is a top-ranked institution, will bolster your application.
That being said, work experience and internships are of paramount importance to Bocconi, and it's imperative that you showcase the impact you have made in those positions. Discussing the clients you worked with, and efficiency improvements you implemented will demonstrate your practical skills and make a compelling case for your admission.
Extracurricular activities can also greatly enhance your profile, so it's worthwhile to provide details on any clubs or organizations you were involved with during your undergraduate years. If you have participated in leadership roles, organized events, or volunteered with NGOs, emphasizing the impact you have made will impress admissions officers.
Since you are targeting a specialized degree in accounting and finance, it's essential that you demonstrate your expertise in these fields. Highlighting relevant coursework you have taken or pursuing additional courses from reputable platforms such as Coursera or Udemy will help you stand out as a qualified candidate.
Overall, while your GMAT score of 710 is impressive, it is only one aspect of your application. By showcasing your academic background, work experience, extracurricular activities, and dedication to developing expertise in your field, you can create a well-rounded and compelling application that showcases your potential as a Bocconi student.
