European Undergraduate Target Schools Tier List (2022 Updates)
Hi all, I am creating this classic to help young monkeys in their process in transmutation into monkeys. Since there is no body that releases world rankings for bachelor's degrees I thought I would do it myself.
The ranking is done according to reputation and placement on linkedin (I am a Bocconi alumni who is now AN1 from EVR).
Level S++ (Super Objective)
LSE
ESSEC
ESCP
Level S+ (Objective)
St. Gallen (only for DACH)
Bocconi
IE (only for Spain)
Imperial (only for STEM)
Tier A+ (Low Target to Top Semi-Target)
RSM
WHU (only for DACH)
ESADE (only for Spain)
EDHEC (only for France)
Tier A (Low low Target to Top Low-Target)
EmLyon (only for France)
Warwick
What do you guys think? Let me know and I will make the necessary changes if they are generally shared.
Bocconi, ESSEC, ESCP and HSG are too high...
How would you make it?
Level S+ (Objective): ESSEC, ESCP
Tier A+: St. Gallen, Bocconi
Not sure tbh.
Might be anecdotal, but I've for example never met someone from ESSEC in during my IB/ PE years
Where would you put Audencia?
very inaccurate since there is no such thing as ”european” target schools. some schools place better in certain regions i.e. Warwick places better in London than most of the schools you listed
Yes but it makes up for that with the rest of Europe no one would ever take someone who did Warwick
>only got into Evercore
>thinks they're qualified to give placement advice
>lists schools no one in London has ever heard of
seems legit
Let me imagine you were pissed
Not really. It doesn’t matter a the end of the day. The only city I care about is London lol. I just find it funny I haven’t heard of some of these at all.
ICADE tier S+ (IE is shit for undergrad)
do a quick research ICADE london an you will see.
shit list
Just checked linkedin. Both, IE and ESADE place better than icade
Spanish employers love IE so obviously they place well.
Exactly that's what I was saying. I live in Madrid and ICADE and CUNEF and ESADE have like 2x to 3x placement in MBB and IB than undergraduate IE. Spain is very elitist in this sense, mostly private school kids get into IB.
Than why does linkedin say something else ?
pretty bad list where is UCL?
Get back to spreading comps and doing your training.
I'm going to ask my Evercore friends to find out who you are.
You obviously have way too much time.
Ahaha sure like you have evercore connections
now i really want to know who you are
evercore is one of the shittiest firms in London, no wonder retards like OP get in.
11/10 did not get into Evercore.
And where do you work as a loser? Hahaha
Let me guess, you've been pissed?
Let me guess, you've been pissed?
.
Go eliminate, haha. Where do you work? William Blair? LOSER
ESSEC and ESCP don’t belong to the S-range. No school in France does beside HEC. Bring them both down to A+
You are so informed, HEC has no bachelor's degree, big stupid
HEC Masters is equivalent of Bachelor's + masters and has no undergrad degree requirement big stupid.
This is called European Undergraduate Target List, however ESSEC, ESCP, .. only place into IBD via their Masters programmes and not their BBA (Bachelor equivalent).
Agreeed, same for EDHEC
Agreed, and correct; thanks to the French education system, the BSc/BBA programmes at grandes écoles aren't targeted. The targeted degree course is the "diplôme de grande école" or MiM, which French students can enter directly (in a way).
To enter it, you'll either need two years' of "classes préparatoires aux grandes écoles" (if you're French) or a bachelor's degree (if you're not).
The one exception is ESCP, which allows non-French students to enter the MiM programme in the same way as French students via their pre-master year.
So ESCP can be included in this list (target schools at the undergraduate level) IF you "transfer" to ESCP to do the pre-master year and then the MiM.
no escp bachelor is in no way a target only their MiM degree.
Look you are wrong three new sa from evercore come from escp bachelor
I live I Spain and IE is not in the top 3 Target UNDERGRADUATE (not masters) schools. Just check some linkedin of non IE masters students compared to universities like ICADE, ESADE, and CUNEF. IE undergraduate is too easy and non intensive. I have many friends there. Esade is good tho
Ok I didn't know this I conjured up one of the IE bachelor who told me, if you tell me how to position them I'll edit it.
IE undergrad is a joke, target schools in Spain are ICADE, ESADE, CUNEF and Carlos III in that order. It’s also pretty elitist so 90% will come from the first three since they’re private
So why does ie (and ESADE) have the best linkedin placement???
Nuts ranking! ESCP and ESSEC bachelor's are crap... IE and EDHEC are also pure shit... Warwick and RSM should be much higher
Pure spam
Warwick is the biggest scum that exists, no one who has been admitted to the cited universities would choose Warwick and RSM as their first choice
I am sorry to tell you but 6 people mention your original comment as a spam. Maybe time to tell the truth...
To be fair most European b-schools Bachelor's are only there to milk their students, it's their master's programmes where it's at
BS
Thought I'd come up with an alternative list based on what I've observed in London. Cannot speak for other major European financial centres. I would think of all the below as "target" schools.
Tier 1
Tier 2
Tier 3
50% of the schools you listed don’t even have an undergraduate programme….
Most of the Europeans I've met haven't been undergraduates. Although I take your point that these universities are not all directly comparable.
True.
Ok so you don't mean bachelor, because many of the universities you mentioned only have master's degrees. I am an ex biem and mim Bocconi alumni but I can tell you that in my opinion the university no longer competes with the first tier (because it doesn't renew, it remains the same).
Trash ranking
Warwick seethe
INSEAD and Bocconi above Imperial (a top 10 uni) what a joke...
plus Imperial is in London, more people apply there than anywhere else just because of location
Bocconi above Warwick? Lol
All the kids who slacked off in my high school went to Bocconi while Warwick kids were those who aced their A-Levels but couldn’t get in Oxbridge
The difference is that in Bocconi it is difficult to pass the exams while Warwick is a piece of cake
I heard FSFM is pretty solid.
What about sse. Where would you guys place it? S ?
