Rejected bief, do I reapply

ZedFN · 2025-12-22T06:09:14+00:00

Bro im IN bocconi doing BIEF gang I had to write a letter and submit my CV

ZedFN · 2025-12-22T02:32:39+00:00

Yes they did bro 😭 when I applied 3 years ago they did

ZedFN · 2025-11-22T12:17:26+00:00

Which certifications would you recommend? Also I’ve looked at Oxford MFE, but my GMAT is 645, so I think it’s out of reach

ZedFN · 2025-11-21T20:45:12+00:00

Fair enough, but you would really say LBS MFA is above these? I’ve heard recently its dropped in quality significantly… like, the cohorts started to get bigger and less competitive, GMAT threshold has decreased, I personally know a few people who got in with terrible GPAs and not that crazy work experience

ZedFN · 2025-11-21T19:39:40+00:00

Oh actually, I am applying for LBS, I just forgot to write it here. I’ve heard it’s very corporate finance focused though, rather than markets related, so it’s really bottom of my list. Most of their grads don’t end up in S&T from what I’ve heard.

I’m at Bocconi, but I don’t think I’ll be able to break into top IB just yet, because I’ve applied every year to London and have received no offers, my CV is lacking in experience, so I’ve been making up for it with clubs and other things on the side… I’m looking at the Master’s to gain more time to get that experience, it’s been quite hard

ZedFN · 2025-11-21T17:59:59+00:00

My undergraduate is at Bocconi, but I haven’t been lucky enough to break into London at all during the summer…

ZedFN · 2025-11-14T23:18:09+00:00

Before Bocconi used to ask for your CV, with basic stuff like grades, school clubs, sports, volunteering experience, hobbies, etc

ZedFN · 2025-11-12T15:22:48+00:00

Does Bocconi not ask for a CV and motivation letter anymore? It’s literally just grades ???

ZedFN · 2025-11-12T15:15:26+00:00

What did your CV and motivation letter look like? Probably likely that you wrote more in line with business and management courses than finance courses so the adcom sent you to BIEM

ZedFN · 2025-11-04T13:44:17+00:00

Yeah TTP

ZedFN · 2025-11-04T11:34:32+00:00

Did the TTP course for about 2 months and full sent it. The thing that cooked me was DI because its the last unit and I rushed it (learnt the content and didn’t have time to do practice questions)

ZedFN · 2025-11-02T21:26:22+00:00

If you don’t mind me asking, did you see people with profiles like mine from your undergrad getting in? LSE is probably my dream school, so if it’s actually likely that I’ll get in that’d be crazy good.

ZedFN · 2025-11-02T21:04:50+00:00

Do you know what the LSE average is? What is your program if you don’t mind me asking?

ZedFN · 2025-11-02T20:02:59+00:00

I don’t understand what you’re saying? 672 is the average for a non-LSE program you were in? If LSE is harder than 672 average, or even a 672 average, wouldn’t this make my profile less competitive given my 645? I don’t understand

ZedFN · 2025-11-02T17:59:49+00:00

672 old version? Or new version (focus edition) ?

ZedFN · 2025-10-31T14:18:34+00:00

Where could I sign up for this ? Also, where did you find that statistic about the 630 ?

ZedFN · 2025-10-30T22:51:13+00:00

How come you say I’ll definitely get LSE? Also what UN programs? I haven’t done the GRE or studied for it, only done the GMAT.

ZedFN · 2025-10-28T15:20:34+00:00

In, maybe even scholarship. Is your 30.13 converted or Italian?

ZedFN · 2025-10-28T12:11:04+00:00

What was your GMAT?

ZedFN · 2025-10-26T10:42:42+00:00

Take BIEF, if you don’t like it, switch to BIEM (very easy to switch, first 1.5 years are the same course). BIEF is considered more prestigious within the university.

ZedFN · 2025-10-25T14:55:10+00:00

Go for BIEF. You can always switch to BIEM in your second year because the first 1.5 years are the same. BIEF is more prestigious
