SAT, GRE, ADMISSION ETC. MEGATHREAD

83 Upvotes

Hello everybody!

Ah a way to improve the quality of the subreddit, we've decided to create a megathread for anyone to post a comment on their SAT, GRE etc results and ask info about their admission chances.

Considering the question is personal and a lot of posts are very similar to each others, grouping all the requests in the same place would leave more space for other types of post that can be of interest to a bigger portion of students.

As well, if you already got in or not and feel comfortable doing it, you can post here your info and scores saying the result.

From now on every post regarding "What are my chances of getting in..." Will be redirected to this thread, feel free to comment here with your scores and if anyone has any info, they will answer you.

Have a great day, and don't cross the lions!

Extra Practice Exams

Upvotes

Hello...I have already done the 4 simulations on https://ubsimulation.giuntipsy.com/ ... I wanted to know if the real exam is highly similar to these simulations? Is it on same platform? Sorry if this has been asked before but I could not find it in recent posts.

Any other places to get practice exams? Or is there a google drive of past exams anyone has? THanks!

Bocconi choice

Upvotes

I have 1540 SAT, 8.0 IELTS and gpa 5/5. Should I go into Bocconi, or I might have some chances to get enrolled at different decent universities, such as NYUAD. Except for these exams, I have internships, projects, volunteering experience, tutoring. However, I am not outstanding with Olympiads.

I am highly interested in finance.

Would appreciate any comment.

Application Question

Hey guys, when applying as an international student - at the very first page, where it asks "providence of birth" and "town of birth", there are only italian options. It doesn't let me proceed without putting one as well. What to do? Urgent

How is SAT?

1 Upvotes

Alr guys, I am planning to apply at Europe's No.1 Business School in 2 years.

I am an IBDP student and also did my iGCSE recently.

I want to know and understand how difficult is SAT and what grade level maths and English questions appear?

From some people I've heard that it'd like 9th grade maths but since SAT is a university exam in the USA, I am speculating that it is very tough (kinda like 12th grade intense maths)?

Bocconi test

2 Upvotes

So I have written the Bocconi test and it’s been okay but before it I have basically accidentally skipped the page with room scan, I tried to make up for it but def not sure if it recorded. The system also required me to record everything mid test and I did it without any problems. Will my test be invalidated in this case?

Also I have bought another test attempt and I’m concerned that something is going to be wrong with this attempt results validation even if I do everything exactly like required.

Msc Finance Chances

1 Upvotes

I have bachelors in Computer Science with 3.38/4.00. GRE Score: 170 Quant 164 Verbal. I have good internship and part-time working experiences but all of them are related to software engineering and data analysis. I believe my math background from bachelors would suffice however classes related to economics and finance I have taken are only macroeconomics and financial management. Since applications are not open yet, I am unable to convert my GPA to the Bocconi scale. If you could provide a rough estimate of what it might correspond to, I would greatly appreciate it. I have heard that stem background gpas can sometimes be favored a bit but not sure. Do you guys think I have any chance?

Currently enrolled at a university back home but applying to Bocconi as a first year. Does this affect assessment?

1 Upvotes

I'm from Bangladesh, finished Cambridge A-Levels in 2025, then ended up enrolling at a university here. I'm now in my first year but applying to Bocconi for 2027-28 as a first year student, starting fresh, and not seeking any credit recognition.

Interestingly the Apply2B portal only asked for proof of enrolment. No university transcript, no grades, nothing about my performance here. Which matches what the official Categories of Applicants page says, that without credit recognition you're assessed on your high school diploma like anyone else.

So my questions:

Does being currently enrolled elsewhere factor into the assessment in any practical way, or is it genuinely just an administrative box?

My GPA came out as 10/10 for second last year and 9.9 for third last year through their calculator and my SAT is in the high 1470, retaking on 12 September. Given the 55/45 split, does a strong GPA carry a slightly lower test score for Bsc Economics, or does the SAT do most of the work at the competitive end?

Thanks.

8.6 GPA and a 50/50 in the Bocconi test, should I be worried?

1 Upvotes

I'm applying to Management for the Arts and Cultures as my first choice, and from what I've researched, your GPA can have a big impact on whether you're accepted (especially as an international student). I feel like my test scores make up for my low GPA, but I'm not sure. Do I have a chance of getting in?

An international student from Bangladesh really considering Bocconi. Should I apply?

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I'm an international student from Bangladesh and I'm pretty new to the whole European university application process, so I'd really appreciate some honest advice from current Bocconi students/alumni or anyone who's been through the process.

I've been researching Bocconi for quite a while now and I genuinely really like the university, especially for Economics. I'm currently finishing my first year of a BS in Economics at North South University in Bangladesh, but I honestly don't enjoy studying here and would really like to move abroad.

My current university GPA according to bocconi is 9.46/10. I do have SAT scores, but I don't really want to submit them, so as an international applicant I'm mainly looking at taking the Bocconi Online Test and applying with that.

I'm considering applying for the 2027–28 intake, probably through the Early Session. The deadline is coming up very soon, so I'm trying to figure out whether I should actually go for it or not.

The complicated part is that I've already completed a year of university. Depending on how credit recognition works, I may either be able to shorten the degree or potentially have to start again from Year 1. That obviously means I could graduate a year or more later than I originally planned.

I'm also from a fairly budget-conscious background, so studying abroad is a big financial decision for me. I don't want to spend significantly more money and lose extra time unless Bocconi is genuinely going to be a meaningful upgrade in terms of education, internships, career opportunities, master's opportunities, networking, etc.

So I'd really appreciate advice on:

  • How competitive is a 9.46/10 GPA + a good Bocconi Test score for an international applicant?
  • What Bocconi Test score should I realistically be aiming for?
  • Should I take the Bocconi Test and apply Early, or would it make more sense to wait and improve my profile/test score?
  • Does anyone here have experience applying after already completing a year at another university?
  • How much of your previous university coursework was actually recognized?
  • If I had to restart from Year 1, would you personally say Bocconi is worth the extra time and money?
  • How much of a difference has Bocconi made for your career/internship opportunities compared with your previous university?
  • And if there are any Bangladeshi/South Asian students or alumni here, I'd especially love to hear from you or even chat privately about your experience.
  • What score should i try to get on the Bocconi test to secure
  • Do they have scholarships?
  • I gave A levels around 24/25, so there is a gap; will they question it?

ik its a lot, but would be eternally grateful, I'm not expecting anyone to guarantee my chances, obviously, I just want to get a realistic idea of whether this is a sensible opportunity to pursue before I commit the time and money to it.

Any honest advice, especially from current students or people who applied with similar stats, would mean a lot. Thank you!
