Bocconi Master Finance vs ESSEC MiF / MiM

Hey everyone, I've just been accepted at Bocconi's Master in Finance in the Global Experience track and was wondering if it was worth trying to apply at ESSEC's MiF / MiM.

For a bit of background, I am a third year student in BIEF at Bocconi. I am completely fluent in both Italian and French. I'd prefer to work in London, then Paris then Milan. My goal would be to work in IB, even though I haven't had an IB experience, only private banking / wealth management.

I heard the Bocconi MiF was particularly challenging, and it was hard to combine studies with applications for internships. Nevertheless, it is cheaper and has better placement in London. I've also already prepared for the GMAT which means I'd only have to work on the essays for ESSEC.

Is ESSEC worth the shot?

If you prefer to live and work in Paris has to be ESSEC. Bocconi right now is tough to get London don't take the risk to end up in Milan :)
