Hey,
I got MSc in Finance offers from SSE and RSM. As a student from the Eastern Europe I am on a tight budget and I am indecisive between the two. My major concern is the reputation/network/possibility of landing a SA stint at an investment bank in London.
RSM seems to be a cheaper option, but I think it lags behind SSE in terms of reputation (am I correct?). Also SSE gives an opportunity to do a double degree with Bocconi or a CEMS MiM. Which one of the two would you recommend?
My profile
Nationality: Eastern European
Education: BSc in Economics major in finance from a Dutch university (GPA: 8.4/10)
International experience: Semester abroad in Singapore
Professional experience: * Tax advisory internship at Big4
* Currently M&A Adviosry internship at another Big4
Extracurricular activities:
* Research assistanceship for a professor
* Followed a Finance research-focused excellence program during the BSc program (workload of extra semester)
* Participated in international case competitions in Europe and the US
* Did 2 part-time jobs in parallel to my BSc degree in order to finance my studies
GMAT: 700
Also applied to LSE, HEC (awaiting responses) and got rejected at Bocconi. LSE is completely out of my reach (financially) and HEC would be possible if offered a scholarship.
Thanks for your help!
