1. Executive Summary & Strategic Context: Oct 19–26 Parallel Admissions
For candidates who sat the IMAT, the 7-day period between individual score releases (October 19) and final merit rankings (October 26) is the most critical decision window of the year. Sitting on one single option with tiny non-EU quotas entails immense risk.
Applying to Link Campus University allows students to reserve a seat in Rome without relinquishing their public IMAT rank. If admitted to their public first choice on October 26, they matriculate there. If not, they already hold a guaranteed seat in Rome—preventing a wasted gap year and opening credit-transfer doors.
