At master or bachelor level?
Bocconi for sure. Even at the bachelor level their placement into London IB is just behind LSE/UCL. As long as you have good internships/grades/get through the online tests etc. you will be well positioned to getting an interview/offer. Your school matters a lot more in Europe than it does in the US and if you plan on studying outside of the UK you should look at the top 1-3 universities in each country. In my view Bocconi should be first choice outside of the UK.
Bocconi but it is not just behind LSE and UCL. And definitely not the first choice out of Europe considering how bad the Italian economy is doing.
lol, how does the Italian economy have anything to do with an undergraduate's IB placement into London
Well, since it is Italian it will be behind all UK targets and also the best semi-targets :) (as recruiters will know it less, same with other european schools)
Bachelor. Many thanks for the feedback.
Whatever you do, DO NOT go to Bayes.
Thanks. Why? I thought they placed decently in the City?
None of the CVs for internships/analysts/associates that have hit my desks over the years had people from Bayes, but there are always a few from Bocconi, French business schools and LSE.You are fluent in Spanish? You will likely be fluent in Italian by the time you finish your BSc at Bocconi. Do not forget this is a plus for PE/IB.
None sense to go to french or italian schools if you want to go to the UK... let's be realistic
Bocconi is probably your best choice in this scenario but ICADE and ESADE are still good choices. I know you want to work in London but since you're fluent in Spanish what about going with ICADE or ESADE, recruiting in Spain, then transferring to London later on?
Thank you All
