SSE (Stockholm School of Economics) Application 2015

Current SSE MSc in Finance student here. In case you have any questions. Otherwise, good luck with your applications.

Thats nice, thank you!

Do you think there is a chance to get in with a GMAT score of only 650, if the rest of the profile is alright?
How many Germans are in your class?
How many people are in you class who started the program right after their bachelor graduation (work experience only through internships)?
Are you happy with the program until now?

There's always a chance. For 2014 the average GMAT score was a bit below 700. There are guys with 650, there're guys with 750. I guess it depends on what you understand by the rest being alright. In case you have any impressive extracurricular (competitive sports, etc.) be sure to point that out in your application.
I'd say Germans're around 15% of the student body.
Majority of people don't have work experience. A notable side note here - if you want to do an exchange in the US/Canada you'd need work experience of at least a year.
The program is very demanding. That said, it's also very rewarding. The faculty is really top-notch and for me, personally, the case-based approach to finance topics is the best way to really learn the stuff for the long-term. But I guess you already know that

Another Question, I have applied before the deadline of the 1st round. Though they say that we will get replies in December, any tentative date when the results are announced ?

I received my offer in late March.

Did anyone of of you receive a confirmation of your application? because I haven't. And another question. Do I have to rank the SSE within my choices at university admissions.se? Because although I find the program, I can't register for it on the side since the SSE takes applications directly. Has anyone the same problem?

I havent recd anything either.. I think from what I have researched SSE takes admissions directly.

Btw, I had another question how would you rank EDHEC against SSE - EDHEC's Masters in Financial Economics: Corporate Finance & Banking program.. I wanted some first hand information regarding the same...

Guys I have a question for you:

Is my application invalid if I haven't reported the GMAT Score ordering it online (for 34$!)?
I thought that attaching the Official Score Report was enough but unfortunately it wasn't; I have written to the admission team and I'm waiting for an answer.
I really hope that this would not influence their decision.

It has been added the Status of the application in the Application Platform.

Mine is still "your application has been submitted", has anyone had a change?

Hey, my status is:

We have received your official score results and all the necessary documents. Your application is being considered.

But as I said before, I applied for January the 15th. Btw, did anyone apply for RSM as well?

Has anyone already heard back from SSE? I've been told that the results will be released before christmas..

yes I applied for MSc finance at RSM in the end of October.. received my offer about 2 weeks later.

mine says the same... no changes so far

Hey Lou, I got an offer from RSM as well. Did you accept? Do you know btw, if I accept, wheter I could accepted at other unis in the netherlands as well or am I automatically rejected? Do you had to pay the fees upfront if you accepted?? Thanks!

Yes i accepted. I dont know, I havent applied at other unis in the netherlands, but I think, since they have their own direct application system, you'd still be able to apply at other institutions.

No the fees have to be payed right before school starts. (end of August at the latest)

Hi guys,

I receive the admission e-mail from SSE this afternoon. I submitted my application for the MSc in Finance program before the first deadline.

Good luck!

Congrats!!!
