Help me choose a uni for bachelors

Hello everybody, I need you help!
(also note this is my first post on this platform so please go easy on me)
I'm a 17 yo. studying in Hungary and the end goal for me would be IB in a BB in London.
I am looking at mainly RSM, Bocconi or St. Gallen. Due to my parents financial situation I don't think that I can study in London. I speak hungarian english chinese and is currently learning german. Which university is best for what I'm trying to achieve? What kind of academic performance do I have to have? What's your experience with these universities? Would you recommend another one?
Thank you!

All three options realistically now would likely need a top UK master from LSE, LBS or Oxford. With all three you can join them considering you have solid grades and GMAT. I would go to RSM as it is cheaper ;)

PS: Obviously they are the three best in Europe (excluding UK) so you can't go wrong with any :-)

 

Thank you for the comment! Do I HAVE to get a masters in the Uk? I've heard that internships and networking is enough.

 

In terms of prestige and outcomes, hsg and bocconi are MUCH higher tier than RSM. Milan and Switzerland aren't exactly cheap though. 

You can get good bachelors for a few hundred euros or even free in some cases. Why not go for those? You will need a master eventually so get some experience, save up and put your money where it matters. 

 

If financial situation is an issue, you may want to check SSE (0 fee for EU citizens)

Stockholm may not be the cheapest city, but neither is Milan, Rotterdam nor that beautiful small village in Switzerland :)

 

Rsm doesn't place well compared to others. like others say go to hsg bocconi if you can. Otherwise free options like sse, cbs are best
