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!

As of now, I have lost faith as well. But their process seems a bit random then. I got basically the identical profile like lauraAUT (GMAT 650, Toefl 108, Bsc German Speaking World, relevant internship, semester abroad). But we will see today. There will be a small percentage of people that declines their offer, so I think if you hear nothing today, maybe you are on the waiting list.

Guys don't feel bad. There like 70 seats and 800 or whatnot applications. They will have to turn down brilliant applicants... I just find it crabby that they'd upload it this way...

yeah seems super strange to me too. especially since this would be the first year that they publish their decision like this.

They wrote that offers have to be accepted/declined by March 23, I think if someone rejects the offer other candidates might get admitted. So I guess that is why SSE hasn't sent official rejection letters for not admitted students yet.

Just got official rejection from SSE, they said my background was not "strong" enough......though I personally could not accept such saying :-(

Anyway congrats to those admitted, I'll probably just accept HKU then.

Hey guys,
I wanted to ask if anyone received a mail regarding the fees or something after the acceptance letter ? (I haven't)
Also i had clicked on accept a couple of days before, so i didnt really see any change on the application portal today (besides an admitted students tab which opened once i accepted). Is it the same for everyone ?

Wow, that's really weird. With your Insane GMAT and great GPA combined should be shoe-in.

I got a formal letter of acceptance (so not the email but one with signatures and all that) after requesting it for the paperwork I need to do in order to get my funding sorted out. They are probably sending those out all the time now. And no changes on the applicantion portal here either.
