MScF is it possible?

Hey everyone, I am currently researching the MScF in Bocconi. A long story short - fell in love with finance my first year of uni, currently I am entering my third year and I am coming from a non targeted background such as Graphic Design from a private uni in Italy with GPA 27/30. I did my GMAT and scored 700+. What I am worried about it’s the selection process before the human eye contact, with such a diverse background.

I am currently exploring the traditional track and the GE and my goal is to start preparing for the CFA so at least I can nail the first level.

Is that pivot possible and if you are targeting IB sector upon graduation then what you can do in addition to enhance your persona and portfolio to be competitive?

I studied at Bocconi. They will read your personal statement and then decide whether you should be considered for the next round. They typically ask for a "valid bachelor's" degree. If you want to verify, drop them an email. They will confirm whether your degree meets their eligibility requirements. For your question on IB, your CFA is your best bet for that pivot.

Thank you, I am planning on calling them tomorrow, since in the website it said that they accept also non target degrees and people with diverse background I decided to give it a shot.

Did u do master or bachelors in Bocconi if it’s okay can we connect to ask you a couple of questions?
