what about Bocconi University?

[Anonymous]

for a good student (3.8 gpa and 1520 sat) looking for Econ options?

not really interested in small schools and won't get into T10s.

[Anonymous]

Why don’t you say it’s in Milan, Italy?

Also, I doubt more than a few people, if any, have heard of it here.

[Anonymous]

Yes, it’s on our list. We are down to Pitt, Bocconi, and Ole Miss.

There are plenty of schools that will be fine for econ that aren't T10s or small.

[Anonymous]

Out of 4000 colleges in the U.S., you think there are T10 and the rest are small and not worthy of consideration? So the only option is Italy?

Has to be a troll post.

Do they want to do international work? Are they planning to live in Europe/italy indefinitely? It will be tougher to network with American companies from abroad, obviously. Why not do one of the dual programs?

DCUM - Where you get college advice from people who have never heard of Bocconi.

For such a group that pretends to be elite in the DC area, not knowing about Bocconi is ridiculous.

I hope this is not real….For Econ, Ole Miss and Pitt shouldn’t even be mentioned in the same sentence as Bocconi.

BS. It not tougher….unless the kid is looking to work at some no name company.

There is not ONE elite US investment company that hires ECON majors that would not know about Bocconi. Not ONE.

Bocconi is an amazing school. My son studied there. He now works at an IB in NYC. Lots of Americans in the program. It is in English and Milan is a great city! He loved every minute of his experience. I would take Bocconi over most US undergraduate business schools in universities ranked over t25…

I don't know about Bocconi for Econ, but I do know that USC Marshall partners with Boccoli for their world Bach of business program. I had never heard of the school beforehand. We looked into it but my kid wanted a more traditional college experience.

Lol this. I wish I could meet all of the people here to better understand them. But only once.
