Studies to aim for IB
I already posted some questions about this in this forum, but my choices have narrowed and I feel people here give me good advice. I'll be brief:
I was accepted to Bristol's undergrad economics program which I know places well in IB in London if do well. However, visiting the open day they told me most of the students in undergrad. were English wich makes me think it will be hard for me to integrate as I am an International Student.
If I don't chose Bristol, I can go to France which is my home country and go to Paris-Dauphine but even if I enter one of their Finance masters program career wise it won't be as good as Bristol in terms of placement in London.
I can also do a prepa which is 2 years of preparation for an exam which if I do well can enter to top French business schools (think HEC, ESSEC, ESCP, EM Lyon...). It's only good if I enter one of them, and again seems like a gamble.
What do you think I should chose ? Thank you and excuse me for all this questions.
Please someone ?
If you can't integrate into a university program, then how do you expect to integrate into a BB IB?
You'll need to be able to get along with people of all types to survive in IBD. That being said, to the above poster, London offices are generally much more international with many more Europeans than the Bristol cohort.
Bristol is at best a semi-target. Don't know of many people in IBD in London from that uni. That said, if you do well at Bristol you can always do a master at LSE / Oxbridge and try and get in that way. In short it gives you pretty good option value to work in London.
The only french schools that I think are legit are HEC / some random grand ecole that produces math prodigies. The rest dont have outstanding (but not bad) placement.
Thank you for you reply. What do you think of ESSEC, ESCP, EDHEC ? The math prodigies you're talking are people who study at Polytechnique they are basically all around engineers. I know Bristol is a semi target but after stalking some linkedin profiles I found good professionals who studied there. The best one I found was London's Lazard CEO who studied Econ & Politics there. What are the disadvantages of pursuing a master after Bristol and not trying straight IBD ? Will it really be difficult to enter that kind of masters ?
Thank you and excuse me for all this questions
