RSM vs ESCP vs SSE vs Bayes as a not native and stay in that market?
Italian, graduated 2025 from an Italian non-target, Economics. 95/110 (≈3.4 GPA), 110/110 average in my final year, which I flag on my CV. GRE 318 (161Q / 157V), TOEFL 105.
Languages: Italian native, Spanish native, English fluent. Putting this up top because I think it's the most relevant thing about my profile and I want to know if I'm reading that right.
One year of experience, project management at an Italian startup — not finance.
Extracurriculars: member then VP of my local Junior Enterprise, founded the Finance Club at my university (50+ members, small school).
Bocconi and Tier 1s are off the table with my numbers, I know, save it.
Applying R1, shortlist is:
- Bayes MSc Finance — the only one that seems to actually open London
- RSM Finance & Investments — Rotterdam, good school but i know nothing of Dutch
- SSE MSc Finance — Stockholm, same as Rotterdam
- ESCP MiM — priciest, unclear ROI to me since it doesnt really target london, and its kinda of a wishy washy unclear path with all the cities, it would be useless to pay that much just to get back in italy...
I don't speak Swedish or Dutch nor French and but I do not want to go back to Italy. Native Italian + native Spanish and Fluent English feels like it's only monetisable in London, on Italy or Iberia coverage. Is that right, or am I overrating it?
I wanted a quick rating and check of these unis, what would you guys do in my situation?
Thank you
