MSC Finance Europe Tier 2

Hey guys,

I would like to consult you to make the right decision regarding my master program:

Stats:
German
Economics Bachelor (I will graduate with a 2,0, I don't know whats that in GPA but, but surely top 15-20% at my school)
from the Free University of Berlin
Erasmus Exchange term in Oslo
Internship at UniCredit - Credit Research in the IB-divison
GMAT 650
Toefl 108

Not the best as well as not the worst profile. But LSE, Oxbridge, HSG, SSE, Bocconi are out of my league.

Therefore I am considering the Tier 2 Finance programs:

RSM, HEC Lausanne, Copenhagen Business School, Zürich University, Maastricht.....

Did I forget something? I would love to see a Ranking of Msc Finance programs that are in my range!

For me it is important that the program is not too costly and that the placement in Switzerland/London is alright. Thank you!

Did you apply to any which are out of your league?

I'm talking about liquid. Rich enough to have your own jet. Rich enough not to waste time. Fifty, a hundred million dollars, buddy. A player. Or nothing. See my Blog & AMA
 

From the "tier2" you mentioned, RSM would probably be the best choice. I don't really think that the school is far behind SSE and HSG.

 

@matrick: Only to SSE, but I'll try to apply for LSE swell (AccFin)

@mirus: Thanks for your opinion - I already got accepted at RSM and will probably stick with it, except something better comes up!
