Hey,

perhaps you can help me with a question I haven't been able to find an answer to. I am also applying for an MSc at SSE this autumn.
I can't find any information regarding the latest date to write the GMAT, is it January the 15th even though that is the application deadline?

Would be grateful for some answers :-D Thanks in advance!

I only know that it would be enough to submit the unofficial score by nov 15th for the first round, cause i asked the admission office. Just email them, they usually reply within 2 days.

I am also applying for msc finance at sse. I actually already submitted my application yesterday. But my chances are very slime since I screwed up the verbal part of the gmat, 610 (Q45, V29) My last hope is that they focus on the quant score.
What are your backgrounds?
I am also wondering if the chances of acceptance are higher if you apply until november 15th?!
Do you know If I could re-apply in the second round if I retook the gmat in december?

Not so relevant background, 27.6/30 in best italian business school (Bocconi), good results in sports and private lessons to earn a few money!
I don't know if there are more chances to be admitted in the first session but I'm sure (since I asked them) you can apply also for the second session with a better gmat!
I will complete my application in these days, I hope to get in!!

I think you'll have a good shot. whats your overall gmat score? I am really hoping that a higher quant score could make up for a lower overall score.
The only problem is, even if you can apply for the second round, that they release the results only before christmas, so you'd probably only have about 3 weeks to retake the gmat

Do you guys think I'll have any chance for the MSc in Finance?
My profile:
"GPA": 1.6, (with grades 1 (best), 2, 3, 4, 5 (worst)) ; among the top 1% of all students at my uni (i think my uni is very likely to be known by the SSE admission office, but its not one of the top schools in Europe)
Corporate finance internship at a big 4 company
2 merit-based scholarships
Exchange semester in Asia + 2 other foreign experiences (language schools in the US and France)
GMAT: 610 (Q45, V29 ://); AWA: 6.0 IR: 5
TOEFL: 107 (R:23, S:29, W:28, L:27)

My verbal score just sucks! I am sure I could do better, but I am so tired of studying because I prepared for my first try for quite a long time and for some stupid reason I only focused on quant. I also had to study while working full-time, which is why I want to avoid re-taking the GMAT if possible because it just stresses me out too much..

I have just applied!
Can you tell me how to know the application status? I have beent sent an automatic email saying that my application has been submitted, but I don't know where to check if they have accepted or rejected me!
Moreover, I hope to have included everything in my application, do you know if they will write me something like "ok, that's everything we need to evaluate your profile"?

Thank you very much!!
