Choosing a university in Europe to work in the states
I want to live and work in the US. Though my grandparents were quite rich, none of their money is left, so I can't really study in the US. I've applied to many universities in France and Belgium, but no private business schools. I have good grades, so I'm expecting to at least get admitted into one of these: Sorbonne, Assas and Paris-Saclay in France, or in Belgium KU Leuven or, as a second option the university of Antwerp?
If I study in France, it'll be all in french. That's something that I don't really like, but I assume it's better than studying in English in a less prestigious university. I wanna work in management consulting, IB or PE. what's my best option here?
Are you a USC/LPR or do you have any rights to those?
General advice would be to study in the country you would like to live/work in afterwards.
No. I have family in the US, but not parents. I'm planning on doing an MBA in the US after undergrad. It could give me enough time to start working on it or if I'm lucky, get married.
If your family members are directly related to you, they may be able to sponsor your green card (siblings, children, parents, ..)
Your MBA may lead to a work visa or even a green card then. Good luck.
If you want to live in the states I recommend a uni from the States. Almost none are known in the US by recruiters...
What if I get an MBA from the US after my undergrad? It would be cheaper than doing 5-6 yrs in the US.
Yes that is a good option, although you live in the states in 6-8 years but yes clearly cheaper
You are going nowhere in finance with a licence (3). BBA (4) is the bare minimum, master (5) if you are in France.MBA requieres at least 3 years of pro experience if you want to (i) be accepted and (ii) really learn something out of it (need maturity and concrete nderstanding of the topics).If you are so sure about going to the US, I would advise to (i) take a loan and go for a great US uni or (ii) low-cost well-ranked uni/master in Europe, IB in London/Paris and then transfer or VIE. Still let you room to do an MBA if you struggle to transfer. Might be some graduate program opportunities too. In regard of the uni you listed in France, Sorbonne is clearly the best in terms of alumni working in IB. Try Dauphine too and some foreign like SSE.France uni ranking is Science Po > Dauphine > Sorbonne >>>>>>> GL to break into IB in any other (not even talking of going abroad)
Forgot to add but if you really are a shark, look into double diplomas and exchange. Some people manage to break the game by adding top names on their CV. Cannot be sure that you will be admitted though
The problem with having to work in Europe before transferring to the US or doing an MBA is that it means I'd have to stay about 6 years in Europe first. Though I admit that realistically, you're right.
go HEC/ science PO/ Brocioli
