RSM vs SSE bachelor
Hi! I'm now finishing highschool and the time for applying is here. I'm looking for a bachelor's program that puts me in the best position when I'm done. I have been looking at these two programs (RSM IBA and SSE business and economics). I know e.g. LSE or HSG might be better(?!) but SSE and RSM are the two programs that fits me the best, considering my financial situation. When I have finished my bachelor I want to be as attractive on the job market as possible, but I also want to be able to go to a Master program at a top tier university (ivy league, Boccioni, instead etc.). I want to work in either IB (JPM etc) or Consulting (McK, Bain etc.) when I'm done studying.
Yes, I realize that I might sound like a little kid who is out in way to deep waters. So be it then, I'm ambitious and I want to be best I can. That requires I start as early as possible.
Grateful for answers!
SSE, RSM is a joke, both location, academic, and career wise.
Really? According to Financial Times best business schools in Europe ranking RSM is 13th best, which is better than SSE. What specifically is it that makes you think RSM is a joke, academic and career wise? (I agree with the location)
FT rankings are the poorest source, very unreliable. They ranked MIT, Oxford, and LSE below HEC and other shitty no-name/brand European schools like IE. Does that make them better? NO! I think their rankings are purely based on BRIBES and who they want to please.
Don't hear to much about SSE as I live in the Netherlands, but from what I read on these forums it should be a very good school. RSM's IBA program is also very good and I see a lot of people break into IB in london as well as Amsterdam or Germany from this school. Also has quite a few internationals.
both are good schools and if you are eager, work hard and network etc. both will get you in the right place.
SSE generally is very strong for finance, also in London but the majority of roles are for Scandinavians (albeit many in London). They host networking events with pretty much every top tier financial firm on campus and have placed strong across the board (including buy-side etc.) and the student spirit there is heavily geared towards banking (much like LSE)
I think SSE has an edge but be aware that it is very much geared towards Scandinavians so might be a slightly different story for you.
Frankly I don't know what the MFin placement numbers are at MIT, but if the rankings take into account tuition, it is no surprise some of these schools will rank higher. I suppose a master's degree is also kind of off the beaten path in the US while it is the normal path in Europe, which may impact the #s as demand is high in the City. I'm not at all arguing about "quality of education" or whatever, but bottom line if it's cheaper and gets you where you want to be, it's a better bang cor your buck.
