Chances of Acceptance at Ivy League for a Master’s from Sapienza University or University of Turin

Hi, Megha,

I recall that I answered a similar question in the past. Both Sapienza University and the University of Turin are highly regarded institutions, and therefore, your application should be well-positioned. However, it's crucial to focus on your academic performance, as this will be the most important factor in your application.

Regarding your chances of acceptance, it's important to note that the acceptance rate varies dramatically even within the Ivy League. Schools like Princeton and Harvard are notoriously difficult to get into. In your case, you can be more competitive if you are applying to an Ivy League school from Sapienza or the University of Turin, as these institutions provide international exposure and experience.

To give you a better idea, the acceptance rate for schools like Stanford, MIT, Chicago, and Berkeley can sometimes even be lower than that of Ivy League universities, especially in fields such as Engineering and STEM.

Application Preparation and Planning

Based on my experience of mentoring admitted students at Ivy League universities, one common feature I've observed is that the strongest candidates usually start their application planning 18 to 24 months in advance. It is essential to have an application plan in place to minimize or eliminate gaps in your profile. Research gaps, aptitude gaps, or other potential weaknesses exist for most applicants, and planning in advance will significantly boost your chances of acceptance.

Building a Strong Application

Starting your application planning early is crucial. The second year of your undergraduate studies, especially a three-year program, is an ideal time to begin building a strong story and profile for your master’s application. Stability and consistency in your preparation will ultimately yield better results.
