Best European Master for breaking into MBB?

My objective is to break into consulting after graduating, and I've ambitiously set my sights at the MBB firms. However, having just graduated with a BSc in Industrial Engineering at a regional Northern European school with a mediocre GPA (3.3), I know I'm gonna have to step it up with my MSc.

I want to work either in Scandinavia or the DACH region, so obviously I'm going to target schools in Germany and Scandinavia. Programs in the UK are also an option, but the high tuition costs and high barrier to get in make them less attractive. Which schools/programs do you think are the best considering my career targets and chances of getting in with the following profile?

BSc in Industrial Engineering 3.3 GPA 710 GMAT 2 Internships in engineering where I've had the chance to use my analytical and quantitative skills No notable extracurriculars (going to try to work on this)

Schools I've considered: SSE University of Copenhagen LMU TUM LSE LBS

Is either MSc in Strategy/Management or MSc in Finance preferred in consulting? Do I stand a chance or should I try to improve my GMAT? Any input you can offer would be greatly appreciated by this aspiring chimp! Thanks in advance.

Out of those you'll probably do best with SSE, LSE, LBS (not in that order). For the German office, LMU and TMU will work well, but you have to be top 5-10% of your class. Maybe also add HEC Paris to your list.

I'm talking about liquid. Rich enough to have your own jet. Rich enough not to waste time. Fifty, a hundred million dollars, buddy. A player. Or nothing. See my Blog & AMA
