Where should I go for undergrad?

I’ve just received my final undergrad offer. So far I have been accepted to Erasmus University Rotterdam (Erasmus School of Economics) for Economics and Business Economics, same program also at the University of Amsterdam. Economics at IE University Madrid and finally the BSc in Management at ESCP Business School (1st year Paris, 2nd Madrid, 3rd London).

I am a little stuck on what to choose. I want to study economics, but I still want the highest changes to get into high finance, therefore the Bachelor’s at ESCP is making my decision a little difficult. Could you please give your opinion on where I should go?

Personally would go to Erasmus IBEB. It is cheaper and has a great reputation. ESCP bachelor is less good and new especially. Prepa and grande ecole students will look down on you. IE out of the question, for their prices located in Spain they should go to Jail. 

 

I get your point. But don’t I have better chances of getting in the MFin at ESCP thanks to me already being at their Bachelor. I know Bocconi holds like 40% of the places in their Master’s for their undergrads…

 

I think ESCP does not want their bachelor students to go for their masters. For Bocconi, sure it is possible but I think they have a grade requirement to enroll. Check it ;)
