Bad MSc in Bocconi or Finance MSc in non-target uni

My goal is IB and/or trading/asset management.

Is it better to get a lower tier MSc in bocconi such as: Management, Economics and Social Sciences, Data science and business analytics, because the top MSc(finance, acf, im) are too hard and i don't think i can get in, or to get a relevant MSc in finance or quantitative finance from a non-target?

Good question, why not take additional electives that could indicate that you realised you were more interested in finance in the end... trying to keep the brand name (which i find to be the most important).
