Top Masters in Europe for breaking into IB

Hi,

I am currently pretty srewed. I messed up in undergraduate and my GPA is currently 2.06 (equivalent to 2.94 US)- when I will apply for my Master it will be around 2.0-2.2 (equivalent 3.0-2.8) and I will probably graduate with 1.8-2.0 (equivalent 3.2-3.0). The reason for this is largely due to me missing lots of courses due to being seriously ill (I had constant checkups and also surgery).

Aside from my GPA, my profile is not that bad. I was able to gain some work experience during my undergraduate (Evercore and some PE Shops) but no major BB. Also my GMAT is above average 700-720.

Anyways I was wondering if you could help me. I am aware of the Top schools (HEC, LBS, LSE, Bocconi and Esada) but I don't believe that I have a chance in getting an offer. So I wanted to know if there are any other BS that may help me in breaking into IB.

Thanks for your help guys/girls

 

If you feel those are out of reach try Nova Sbe - comparable quality than ESADE and they say it’s easier to get in.

Still fairly good placements - better in DACH tbh, but places some in London as well.
