| Selection and application | Selection: Capacity is limited and the 2026 general program sold out. Bocconi does not publish an acceptance rate or selection formula. | Selection: Recruitment is limited to select regional high schools and partner pathways. The page reports 288 total enrollees and 139 three-year completers since 2010 but no current applications, cohort size, or acceptance rate. | Selection: Fit- and safety-reviewed rather than first-come alone; Kroka may decline applicants, maintain waitlists, prefer group balance, and require prerequisites for technical programs. |
