Congrats to all who are admitted!! I got rejected, I can't think of any reason other than lower GPA and Verbal in GRE than average. I thought my work experience and international experience would make up for it but they did not. Note to a future applicant: Schools in continental Europe tend to care about academic performance much more than anything. The US, on the other hand, has a more general application review which can help you with making up weak parts of your application. Good luck!!!

Hi everyone, I hope you can help me. I wuold like to applicate for the Master program in Business & Management and for the Master program in Economics at the Stockholm School of Economics. I’m 20 years old, currently i’m studying at the University of Bologna (BSc in Management & Marketing) with a GPA of 28.82/30 (3.84 / 4), i’m trying to get a GMAT score of around 645-655 and i worked for two summers a sales agent. I don’t know if my UNIBO is a target university for SSE. In your opinion is there any chance for me to get admitted in one of these courses?

Hello everyone, I hope you can help me out. I would like to apply for MSc in Finance program. I have been working in a financial institution for over 6 years. Prior to that I have completed my BBA with a CGPA of 3.31 on a scale of 4. But I have over come that and having a steady career growth in Bangladesh. I’m trying to get a GMAT score of 655-65 range. Can anyone access my profile and it’s competitive enough for SSE or not.

Hi has anyone applied to the early bird in accounting.

I just finsihed my intervju with 675 GMAT focus,

david93eklund

Rejected from the accounting master with GMAT Focus of 625. Given that last years median was below 600 I thought I was safe. Tougher competition this year?

If u look at the old version the average median has been around 710-720 the last years => 665 on focus

Economics is very hard to get in to. Bussines innovation is easier especially if you have an entrepreneurial background/ interest

U probably need a higher GMAT for finance. Median is 675

Hey guys,
Just came across this group while searching for the group. Is there anyone here who has applied for the 26 intake?

I have applied for the MFin programme and I am extremely anxious as we get closer to the decision date because SSE is my dream school.

They have made interviews for finance compulsory this year and I think I had a good interview with the programme director.

I’d love to hear your thoughts on my profile from anyone who has applied or already got in previous intakes

Nationality - Indian
University - Decent university in India for my bachelors. GPA - 8.33/10
GRE - 165 Quant, 169 Verbal
Work ex - 1 year in audit internship, 1 year audit full time and another a little over an year in finance full time.

while searching for the school*

Hi, can I ask you whether you got the admission? I applied for the MFIN as well and your profile looks sufficient for me.

Hello guys, hope you are doing great! Sorry to re-open this discussion, but I am looking to apply to the International Business track at SSE, and I would love to receive any insights on cutoffs/how to handle the application process?

A short breakdown of my profile:

[*]- Currently studying International Business and Economics (fully in English) at a top public university in Italy.
[*]- Incoming exchange student at UC Berkeley Haas for the fall '26 semester (merit-based scholarship)
[*]- No formal internship yet, but I am actively exploring startup opportunities in San Francisco during my exchange. I have also received offers from Seed–Series A startups in Europe for when I return
- IELTS score: 8.5, giving my GMAT next week although I expect a low score (high 580 / low 600) due to a mix of personal issues
- During my studies I have worked with 10+ startups through a student association and contributed to another association focused on educational articles in the financial sector (investment strategies and alternative assets classes)
[*]- Current GPA: 28.89/30
[*]- Most importantly (my biggest lever) I have been running a niche e-commerce business since I was 18, generating over €130K in revenue with 1,000+ customers and maintaining solid profitability

I would be grateful for any feedback or guidance on how my profile might be evaluated and how to strengthen my application, I am particularly scared due to the lower GMAT.. Any idea?
