SSE (Stockholm School of Economics) Application 2015 : Masters Programs (MSc, MiM, MiF, Accounting)

jumper93 · 2014-10-10T08:39:47-07:00

Hi guys, I'm going to apply to SSE in the first round (until 15th November). I have some questions for you: 1)do you know if in this session it's easier to get admitted than in the regular one (until 15th January)? Moreover, 2)do you know why they don't take into account GRE verbal score? Because in my GMAT I scored 50 in Quantitative part but only 31 in Verbal, so I hope they will not consider Verbal as much as Quantitative (as they do for gre). Thank you!

Hey guys, I applied for the MSc Economics for the second round and the status is still under consideration.....anyone who applied in second round receive any updates ? How come MSc Finance sends decision so quickly :-(

I applied for MIB/CEMS in the second round and received an assessment invitation yesterday (this program requires interview), but the application status still shows "...being considered."

Anyone got an invitation to the CEMS assessment center as well?

Congrats! First step done :wink:

I also applied for second round MIB/CEMS at SSE but haven't received any invitation email yet... My status still shows "...being considered."
May I ask you to share your profile? GMAT/GPA/TOEFL/...

Congrats ! But I did not apply for CEMS (I heard we can also apply for this program after enrollment)......so will there be interviews as well?

No, the AC/interviews are just for IB/CEMS and it's mandatory. Once enrolled in Finance/Econ/other programs (without AC/interviews) you can additionally (your own decision) apply for the CEMS program, that's right (and you will have the same AC later then).

Hi guys !

I am glad that some of you are already getting offers !

I also applied to the MSc Finance and Economics in the second round, let me share my profile:

GRE 162Q 160V 4AWA
High 2:1 in top 5 UK uni in Economics (dont know how to convert that on a 4 point scale GPA)
No relevant work experience or extracurricular activities.

Not too sure about my chances, my GRE score is equal to the average one for these programms, but nothing stands out in my application. We ll see.

So you guys think they send offers by waves ? 1 wave/ per month ?

CEMS office requested us to reply the invitation no later than Feb 11, so my guess is you still have the chance if someone turns down the invitation. Good luck!

Did anyone of you register with universityadmissions.se?

Because the admission office at the SSE told me that I do not have to. But I read in the thread from last year, that a bunch of people did.

Do you have information on that matter?

Hi everyone,

I have read through the forum and have not found anything on accounting and financial management. Has anyone been admitted to that program or has any other information?

Also, when studying in Sweden, is it possible to work and study at the same time (i.e. is it common amongst the students)?

thanks in advance!

I quote:

Updates from the Admissions team

2015-02-16 Late applications are not accepted any longer. We plan to inform the applicants about our decision on the 9th of March.

So I guess they will release their decision on the 9th all at once.
