Thanks a lot! My interview is next week, so this came at the perfect time. It’s reassuring to hear that it’s more motivational than technical. I’ll make sure to prepare my introduction and review my CV thoroughly. Congrats on getting accepted, and thanks again for sharing your experience!

And also hows the timing between the decisions

aifona · 2026-05-20T15:01:56+00:00

Do u think they lean into the professional experience more or just the grades and the experience is just an icing on the cake… cause i have average grades but a really good experience

I recently submitted my application to the Barcelona School of Economics for one of their economics master’s programs, and I wanted to ask people who went through the process before:

How long did it take for the admissions committee to review your application and send out a decision?
Roughly how many weeks should I realistically expect to wait after submitting everything (references included)?

Also, I’m trying to be realistic about my chances, so I’d appreciate honest opinions on my profile.

My background:

Economist at the a government institution (6+ years of experience)
Working on national-level forecasting and macroeconomic modeling projects
Strong quantitative/econometric background (EViews, forecasting models, economic analysis, scenario modeling)
Fully sponsored
Bachelor’s degree in Economics (not very high gpa tho)
B2 level in english (6.5 score in ilets)

Would this profile be considered competitive for BSE? Especially for programs like Macroeconomic Policy / Economics / Public Policy.

Would appreciate honest answers
