Bocconi MSc Finance or..?
Hi, I am a Bocconi undergrad with a ~29.3/30 GPA and I have very good chances of getting into the MSc in Finance at Bocconi, however my dream would be to do a MSc in London and I think switching unis would improve my profile (internationality, double admission exc) but I still have to do a gmat/gre and don't know if wasting AT LEAST two months of that with a good chance of it being useless (I'm bad at standardized tests) is actually worth it. I want to work in DFIs. What should I do?
Imperial has an optional GMAT policy, and LBS can provide an exemption if you've passed CFA L1. Either are good options for London, with LBS the first choice.
So you say I should run off Bocconi? (P.s. I don’t have CFA L1)
I went to Bocconi too, and now work in IB. Stay away from LBS, they have really low acceptance criteria by Bocconi standards. Everyone I know who went there, only went as they could afford it. Imperial is good, LSE is great. But honestly, Bocconi dominates London, nobody is getting priority for attending a London Msc after Bocconi. Your chances are the same. However, London schools are much less harsh on the grading, so you won't have as much pressure to get great grades to be competitive. I would personally recommend HEC if you want to maximize internationality, I have seen that place very well (with great double degree options).
complete crap... LBS dominates it all... Bocconi not at all in London (Milan mostly) and Imperial is a STEM school (people keep forgetting)....
I literally know no one from LBS that went into IB, particularly in BB. JP Morgan's summer analyst schools were leaked this year; Bocconi made the list, LBS didn't. Bocconi 100% is strong in London, almost everyone from my Finance course now works in London (not Milan). Every team I have interviewed at, at various BB and boutique banks, has had someone from Bocconi on the team. Never LBS. LBS is good for an MBA. Even if you look at LBS' student intake (they publish this), there is not a single British student, which speaks for itself.
