Hey Krutik! That's great. Depositing the first installment soon? Are you going to enroll for the pre-course?

I am not sure about either. Are you enrolling? What is the fee for the pre-course and how useful is the pre-course?

I'm still waiting for something before I make my decision. The factors I consider in choosing MBA programs are the location (Europe), program length (1 yr), international mobility ranking in the FT, internship, ROI (Forbes ranking), program cost, international exchange program, and a few other things. What made you choose SDA Bocconi?

The pre-course is for people with limited business background (like me, a chemical engineer) who don't really deal with financial statements, future cash value, APR, macroeconomics, etc. I got the information about the pre-course (fees & self-assessment) together with the admission letter and forms. Check your email again or request Bocconi

Almost the same factors as yours. However, I would like to have a clear idea on the placement scenario at Bocconi.

From what I gathered, if you're looking at working in Italy, you should start learning the language. The app, Duolingo, is a great (free) way to start!

SDA Bocconi is not that popular in the US but I think it's recognized in several countries in Europe and Asia. I was interviewed by an alumnus who's working here in Singapore.

I am set on the sector an function. But, I am open to any location. Are you set on your industry and sector too?

Hi BS55

I would expect it to take between 3-5 weeks from the day of your interview considering that it is the 2nd week of June

Good luck ! Keep us all posted

Thanks Aakash,

Well BS55, they have interviewed you despite that low GMAT score and I can assure you that with such good work experience, it would be easy to ignore your application !

Hello Everyone!!
Hope all are doing good!
I have a quick query related to the admission decision timeline.
I was interviewed on the first week of April and have been waiting for an intimation since then.
Few days back i dropped a mail to the AO asking about the status of my application but haven't heard from her yet.
Did any of you faced something similar or could guide what should be done in these cases?
should i call the AO's number and talk to her directly or should wait for more time?
I am an Indian candidate with technical background and around 7+ years of experience.
Thought of formally introducing myself on getting a conversion mail.
Still keeping my hopes high with crossed fingers.

Thanks in advance

If it's been so long, I would consider calling them
