Imperial VS ESADE MSc Finance

Got offers from both schools, with a barely average GMAT. I'm not planning to take the GMAT again so I'll just settle for one of these two. Which should I choose? 

I am not in any way an IB or bust person, I don't even have IB experience so it's highly unlikely. I passed CFA L1&2, so ER might be a good option. Location preferably London, but also open to any German speaking cities since I'm fluent in German (not German or Swiss myself though).

Imperial cost is challenging and is amplified by the location as well so put that in mind. 

Many thanks in advance!

 

I recruited for ER in London from university that's on par with esade. Agreed that being in the UK will make things easier, but just saying that with enough effort you'll be good to go. I also had 2 levels of CFA passed, it's a good strength

 

Unless the person want to stay in Spain it makes zero sense to go to ESADE.

 

ROI at both school is not the best IMHO. Did you apply to ESSEC,SSE,Bocco or HSG? Defo cheaper programs with similar if not better placement in London than the schools you are considering
