Thanks Narenn for creating this group.

I'll be submitting my application later this month and had a couple of queries:

1) I'm co-working with my referees and I was wondering what kind of points should be mentioned in the following question:
"Do you know of any purely emotional factors to be kept in mind regarding the candidate’s effective participation in the MBA program? If so, could you give some instances:"

2) Can someone share a good collection of video essay questions? I believe that it's something new introduced this year in SDA's FT MBA application process.

Thanks in advance!

Good morning everyone,
thank you for opening this discussion.
I'd like to apply for the Full Time MBA starting on Sep. 18.
Unfortunately I don't have the GMAT yet and I will have to prepare and do it from scratch.
My question is: do I need to have the GMAT completed when applying for the MBA? If not, how much time do I have between MBA application and GMAT execution?
Thank you,
Stefano

Hello to everyone, I am doing the on line application and I would like to know if anyone could list the video interview questions and if it is true that the time constrain is about 1 min for the answer and 15s for preparing the reply.
Thank you very much for the support,
Giacomo

Hi,

i made the application online whithout having GMAT. I'm going to take the test this month. It's not a problem to submit the application, but i believe that evaluation process will start only after all documents required will be available.

About video-interview, questions are quite-similar to essay ones.

Anyone interested in https://gmatclub.com/chat group?

Someone who's going to apply is in Milan?

Regards,
Gianluca

I have close to 4 years experience in advertising as a strategist, and a gmat of 710 (Q48/V39)! I won't comment on scholarships, other than that they will declare them in a large trench later...

Hi,

Any idea how many weeks/month(s) SDA Bocconi takes to give out final result after the interview?
It's been almost 6 weeks and I haven't heard anything from them yet.

Hi! I received an admit to SDA Bocconi a few months back and wanted to connect with other candidates with admits. Would love to connect :)

sverma11, the school got back to me in a month after my interview. They usually take 4-6 weeks (from what I know). So I suggest waiting another couple of days!
