I have the same problem with the GRE (155) which is less that the average last year (158), so I don't have high hopes that it will work out. What else counts for the Bus and Management track?


Just as Fritchon said, the GRE result is not the only part, although an important one, of the application!
I attended a seminar with the admissions office at SSE, and they told me that interest in the subject is highly valued. So stress out less, and focus more on trying to get your passionate interest shine through in your application and you might still have a chance. :)

Hello. Thank you for the feedback. On the website it said 155 was the minimum acceptable to qualify. I decided to apply for the early deadline, but I wonder if it would have been better to retake it and apply in January. Fritchon, your profile is awesome and I can see you getting a positive answer from the B and M by Christmas. Oneteam, I am trying to stress less, but we are getting "dangerously" close to decision time. :)

I'm also applying to Business and Management!

My gmat score : 660 (q45,v35) Awa 5.5
Gpa 4.27/5
I don't have any extra merits, except exchange year and studying abroad.

I know my Gmat score is lower than last year's average, but hopefully the average doesn't increase too much and I have a chance :-D

Does anyone know when we'll get the reply from SSE if we applied in the November round?

Thanks Fritchon. What is your plan after graduation? I am going to apply for the second round, GMAT: 730, GPA:3.45/4 from a public school in Singapore. Anyone with any ideas on job opportunities for non EU/EEA in Sweden/London after graduation from SSE?

I'm not Fritchon but I can answer the second half of your question. Generally what I've heard is that if you don't speak Swedish it's going to be hard to get a job in Sweden. How good are you at languages and do you plan to stay in Europe in the long term?

As for London, you'd be trying to get a tier 2 visa which is pretty hard to get if you're not from a UK university. There are only 20000 tier 2 visas issued every year. However, if you have a tier 4 from a UK university, you're not part of this quota. But there are obviously exceptions!

I have no idea about London, but I know that 41 % of the international students that graduated in 2015 chose to stay and work in Sweden. I doubt that all of them speaks Swedish fluent, so I don't really agree with Maryse that it would be an essential requirement to get a job :)
However, if you plan to stay in Sweden after graduation, learning Swedish seems like a good idea anyway :lol:

It's pretty important when you're not an EU citizen and you need to find a job that'll give you a work visa. But as you said, it's not completely necessary.

I suspect that most of international students are EU/EEA citizens who did not face the problem of the work visa.

Thank maryse and oneteam for your replies. Good news is their employment report seems to suggest that most people will find jobs no matter where they end up. On another note, do you guys apply to other schools such as Bocconi or St Gallen?

I'm sure you'll find a job with a degree from hhs. I'm applying for Bocconi but not HSG because it's hard to find a job in DACH without German and it's notoriously difficult to get a work permit in Switzerland. I don't have plans to learn German. Switzerland is also a lot more expensive than Italy.

Handels is my first choice because I speak Swedish.

Hi, I'm applying for MSc FINANCE and Accounting as second choice, here's my profile:

-Bachelor in Economics and Finance from Bocconi (Italy), my GPA is 25.6/30 which should be equal to a 3.0/4 in the US system
-GMAT 760 (50Q,41V)
-IELTS 7.5
-No internships
-No exchange but a 1 month summer program at Georgetown University (Washington DC)

I think that my GPA is weak wrt other applicants, what do you think?

Hej!

Indeed, your GPA is lower than the one of other applicants. Yet, your GMAT score is sick! So I think you can totally make it with 760.

What's you first choice of master?
