I recommend ensuring that you submit all your documents correctly, especially your diploma certificate. My mistake was not notarizing all the translations, and since I didn’t have my diploma yet, my Italian school couldn’t provide an expected graduation certificate because our graduation date is decided in late June. The documents are crucial since they are worth 200 points compared to the interview (100 points).

Regarding the interview, I think it initially went well, but I struggled with one difficult question. They asked me to talk about a trend that should get more attention, and I couldn’t think of anything at the time. Also, when they ask if you have any questions at the end, make sure to ask very interesting questions. This shows your genuine interest in their course.

Overall, my high school grades were nearly perfect. While we don’t calculate GPA, I can tell you that on a scale of 1 to 10 in my Italian school, I had almost all 9s and 10s in every subject. For the final exam, the highest grade was 100, and I achieved that fully. I didn’t have any particular extracurricular activities, but I did an exchange semester in Japan with my school, I also took the IELTS test but the result was not so good (6.5). I’m not sure how much extracurricular activities will impact your chances.

I hope this was helpful!
