IB Analyst in US --> Masters in Europe?

Because I have dual (US/EU) citizenship, I'm leaning towards applying for a masters program in Europe rather than a masters or MBA in the states. Interested in SSE, RSM, Bocconi, open to other recommendations.

Is doing 2 years IB in the US before a Msc in Europe okay, or do these programs typically take students right out of undergrad?

Also, how challenging is it to get into these programs if I went to an American university (or does it help me)?

Thanks in advance
