Please help me choose where to apply for my Bachelors

Hi, Im German/Swedish currently doing my Abitur and hoping to study at a top business school in Europe starting this year. I've sent out a few applications and have been accepted to ESCP but I keep hearing their bachelor program is bullshit and a "cashcow" for their master programs. I only really care about the reputation of the school and placement into IB, Consulting etc and potential for MBA programs at other top schools; The location and tuition fees are secondary for me. 

What do you think is realistic for me based on my qualifications: 

-1.5 Abitur average (math grades are mid unfortunately, around 10P), 

-Speak 3 Languages (German, Swedish, C1 Cambridge English)

 - 2 Internships at Real estate Investment Firms. 

Any kind of feedback would be greatly appreciated :)

Obviously avoid the bachelor at ESCP potentially the worst you can go for! Check out Manheim, Maastricht, RSM or CBS. That would be much smarter and better :)

 

If you see any thread about Escp bachelor you'll see the same guy (boib_1) yelling cash cow and shamelessly promoting his own school rsm in the same breath. 

Don't trust any info online. There's only the alumni that can tell you the real story. Relying on Wso to make such a big decision wouldn't be the best idea. 

Good luck

Lol bros losing it after being called out. Go back to being a reddit moderator to Rsm. Pathetic 

 

LSE, Oxbridge, Warwick, HSG, Bocconi, SSE, Mannheim, WHU, RSM... Location does matter because if you want to try and place from undergrad ideally you should study in the country where you would like to work afterward

 

Did the bsc there the experience is 10/10 and placement is pretty good. Hör nicht auf diesen Jockel boib der redet nur schlecht darüber weil er selber nicht reingekommen ist 

 

bro you are actually such a loser. what trauma have you gone through to post so negatively online? would love to know what you do because you must be trying to make up for you fragile ego. hope you had fun in rotterdam while we were living across europes biggest cities ;)
