Bocconi or St Gallen

Hey all,

Trying to choose between Bocconi (BIEF/BESS), St. Gallen (Econ), or Erasmus University (BSc² — Economics & Econometrics double degree) to get into investment banking) (London/Zurich/Milan/New York), then potentially doing a Master’s abroad (HEC Paris MSc Finance or top US program) before long-term IB/PE, mainly my aim is PE.

Questions:

  1. For London IB, is Bocconi materially stronger than HSG or RSE?
  2. For Zurich IB, does HSG clearly dominate?
  3. For Europe is RSE the best?
  4. What gives better odds for HEC MSc Finance or top US MFin?
  5. Is one viewed as more “global” vs regional?

    All input is appreciated!
