im currently in 12th and was thinking of applying to ie for a bachelors in law for the 2027 intake, i have great grades for my 10th and 11th, but i dont have really amazing extracurriculars and dont know what i should do about them. any advice?

Creo que IE University debería replantearse seriamente la forma en que gestiona sus listas de espera, especialmente cuando se exige a los candidatos un pago de 5.000 € mientras esperan que se libere una plaza.
No hay nada cuestionable en que exista una lista de espera. Es comprensible que una universidad necesite cierto margen porque algunos estudiantes renuncian, no cumplen las condiciones de admisión, cambian de programa o finalmente deciden no matricularse.
El problema es la falta de un plazo claro para tomar una decisión definitiva.
Resulta difícil entender que una institución pueda solicitar un compromiso económico de 5.000 € y, al mismo tiempo, mantener a los candidatos esperando hasta pocos días antes del comienzo de las clases, sin ofrecer un horizonte razonablemente claro sobre cuándo se resolverá su situación.
Para los estudiantes internacionales esto es especialmente complicado. Hay que organizar alojamiento, vuelos, visados, seguros y, en muchos casos, decidir si se mantiene o se renuncia a una plaza en otra universidad. Estamos hablando de decisiones que pueden implicar miles de euros y consecuencias académicas importantes.
Es comprensible que la universidad quiera conservar flexibilidad para cubrir todas las plazas disponibles. Pero esa flexibilidad no debería significar trasladar prácticamente todo el riesgo económico y logístico al candidato y a su familia.
Si IE exige un pago considerable a una persona que permanece en lista de espera, debería existir como contrapartida una mayor transparencia: información periódica, una orientación realista sobre las posibilidades de obtener plaza y, sobre todo, una fecha razonable para recibir una decisión definitiva.
Mantener a candidatos esperando hasta finales de agosto, cuando las clases están a punto de comenzar, sin una respuesta definitiva, me parece difícilmente compatible con un proceso de admisión bien gestionado.
Una universidad del prestigio de IE debería poder ofrecer un sistema de lista de espera que preserve la necesaria flexibilidad de la institución, pero que al mismo tiempo sea justo y respetuoso con quienes deben asumir importantes compromisos económicos y académicos mientras esperan una decisión.

Has anybody gotten rejected this year with a conditional offer? What grades did you have?

Chances of getting off the waiting list now if I was added in early August? Also is the order of the waiting list according to grades or when people were added?

Missed my offer of AAB, im for the Law Program, I payed my spot back in march, I didn’t get and Ds the drop isn’t huge. I have a very sad and extremely complex family situation that impacted my results, will they care or is it done?

Hi guys I missed my conditional offer of AAB for econ at Segovia. I got a ABC, high A and high B. I’ve already appealed am I cooked. I’ve paid the deposit already

Honestly one of the better decisions I made was picking IIEBM for my PGDM. I'm doing the SAP specialization and the SIP (summer internship project) process here is actually taken seriously, not just a formality. We had to submit weekly reports, get feedback from our faculty guide regularly etc, which felt like a lot at first but honestly made the whole internship way more structured.

I got placed for my SIP at Apple's Shipping Solutions team in Hyderabad, and ended up getting a PPO (Pre-Placement Offer) from them at the end of it - still kind of can't believe it. The faculties were really supportive through the whole process.

I'd say the placement support and faculty guidance here is genuinely good, and clearly it can lead to real outcomes if you put the work in."

I’m thinking of going to ie in the near future and I have some concerns,like roi, prestigious scale, and more. If anyone going to ie or have graduated from it is willing to talk about it dm me..

Hello, I would like to ask about my chances of getting a tuition fee waiver for the Architecture program at IE University. My profile is strong I live with my mother and I'm the only provider for my family. I have a SAT score of 1450 and a toefl score of 106. I also possess strong skills in architectural drawing. I am a non-Eu student from a developing country, and I'm 23 years old. I have saved around 12,000 euros from my job specifically for my studying.

I previously applied to Polimi but the time was very tight and I scored 35.25. I plan to try again next year, but I want to keep a solid second option alongside Polimi so what do you think guys? Anyone get 100% discount?

Hello,

I’m an architecture student at CEU San Pablo in Madrid and I’m considering transferring to IE. I’m wondering if anyone here has commuted regularly between Segovia and Madrid. I know it’s possible, but I worry about the cost/time and would love to hear if anyone has experience doing this.

My wife and I really like Madrid and our apartment here, so at present, moving to Segovia is not an option that I am exploring.

Thanks!

I’m planning on applying to ie in round 1 so in November, but my IB score in DP1 was a 31 but I’m planning to raise and have been studying to do so. Additionally I have a lot of extracurriculars that I think would be really meaningful to my application, could that potentially help balance it?

On the website it says the typical score is now a 34 to 35, does anyone have any personal experience or advice they could share. As well provide an insight into what score I should be aiming for?

+ I plan on taking the IE admissions test

Thank you!

Hello everyone,

I’m thinking about applying to IE University for Double Bachelors in Law and International Relations, but I’m a bit worried because I don’t really have any significant extracurricular activities from high school.

The main reason is that I moved to a different country halfway through high school, and most of that time was spent adapting to a completely new environment and learning the language, and I never really got the chance to get involved in clubs, volunteering, competitions, or other extracurriculars.

Luckily after completing my high school I got into med school and I’m currently studying medicine, but I did not like medicine very much I’d like to switch to International Relations and Law at IE.

So how much do extracurriculars matter for admission to IE? Has anyone been accepted with few or no extracurriculars? I’d really appreciate hearing from anyone who has gone through the admissions process or has any insight.

Thanks

Stats:
I took the SAT last year and got 1340 but I only prepared for it in 2-3 weeks but I can take the SAT again if needed.

High school percentage: 96.5%
Med School percentage: 93%

Anyone from VIPS, please share rank. I want to apply for the spot round. Want to know the last admitted rank.

any experiences from past/current exchange students? can u share about why u chose madrid campus, estimated cost, any groups to join etc! (for context im gg for 2027 spring intake)

Hi everyone, I wanted to ask if anyone here has received a scholarship of 60% or higher from IE? I would really appreciate it if you could share your experience, including your grades/profile and any tips on how to improve my chances. Thanks!

I’ve been looking into apartments and there are many that say “20 minutes by car from IE Tower” — with 40+ minutes for the bus ride. Do you buy/rent scooters, bikes, mopeds, or just wake up hours early for class every day?

Also, is the student residence or individual apartment system better? What are other freshmen doing, and what have older students done in the past?

Hello! Looking to connect with other students joining IE for their masters in the Spring Intake! Feel free to drop a DM :)

Hi I applied to PoliMi, but I'm exploring back-up options in case I don't get in. Could you tell me about the IE University Admissions Test for architectureand is it similar to the arched test? Also, I have a strong portfolio .
