Results and Enrollment
Bachelor Programs 2024/25 AY
Results
The Admissions Committee evaluates carefully the applicants’ profiles by considering all the documents uploaded on My Application, the selection test performance and the spots available during the selection round for the specific programs chosen by the candidates.
The ranking is calculated considering the all the elements of the selection.
A single ranking will be set for all the Bachelor programs: places will be assigned in descending order from the first place (with the highest score) being allocated to the first choice Bachelor program until all available places have been filled, or to the second, third and fourth choice if necessary, until all available places have been filled.
Therefore, points gained in the ranking give admission, not the program choice order.
According to the timeline established for the selection round, applicants can access their admission result by entering the My Application portal and clicking on “Result”.
The outcome of the selection process can be one of the following: admission or non-admission.
Admission
Admitted applicants will receive a conditional offer, whose validity is confirmed only under the following conditions:
- submission of the enrollment application within the set deadlines
- fulfillment of the requirements stated in the admission result
Failure to satisfy even one of the above-mentioned conditions by the set deadlines will entail the revocation of the admission and, as a result, the cancellation of the enrollment.
Request for changing the Bachelor program of admission
For the Early session 2024/25, the request can be submitted after obtaining an admission offer, by filling out an online form no later than 10 November 2023 (3:00 pm — Italian time).
You should email admissionsoffice@unibocconi.it well in advance in order to receive instructions for filling out the form and submit your request by the deadline.
Requests are not automatically accepted but will be evaluated by the Admissions Office. Admitted students can ask for a program change only once and for one program.
You can request to switch to a course that was lower in your preference order, than the one you have been admitted to, or that was not indicated in your application form at all. For example, if admitted to your second choice, you can't change to your first choice, but only to your third or fourth choice, or to a course that you did not indicated previously).
Non-admission
Non-admission outcomes depend on a number of factors: performance on the selection test, GPA and study path, places available in the selection round for the programs chosen.
Non-admitted candidates can re-apply for the following sessions by submitting a brand new online application via the My application portal within the set deadlines.
At the discretion of the Admissions Committee, in some selection rounds, it is possible to receive a Waiting List result. Applicants in "waiting list" result are in any case considered as NOT admitted.
Only in the event of a residual availability of places at the end of the enrollment period, the Admissions Office will get in contact with applicants in waiting list according to the admission ranking order.
Results not available
The admission results are not available if:
- The test score used for applying is missing or not valid;
- The applicant took the Bocconi online test with serious misconduct / actions not compliant with the Regulations, that resulted in the test being voided. In this case, the applicant will be notified by the Admission office with an email with further details on the reasons of the decision.
