Where should I study? (Europe)
Hi guys, I’m currently thinking about where I should pursue my bachelors degree. I’m from Germany and will probably be valedictorian at my High School with a perfect grade (1,0) additionally, I have some extracurricular activities such as doing private tutoring for a few years now, being a sports coach at the local club and getting into further rounds of some competitions, although I never won any of them nationwide nor statewide! My goal is to get into a BB in London (it is one of my life goals and dreams to live and work in the US, but I’m realistic and understand that from my circumstances it’s more luck than can to achieve this goal) and Exit into PE afterwards. As you can tell, I definitely need to go to a target school, the two schools I’m most interested in are the SSE and Mannheim. From my research they rank about the same in London placement, but I’ve read that SSE is only target if you are fluent in Swedish - is that true? Since I already have to take the SAT for applying to the SSE, I’ve thought about applying to some of the Ivy’s if my score is pretty good (1500+). Regarding my profile, what do you think are the chances of getting into one? I’ve realized that being an undergrad would be my best shot for a career in the US… Thanks for reading this far and I would be thankful for any input/advice from you guys:)
Yup you are correct undergrad in the US is the only thing that makes sense, master is not really in their culture. SSE is great and free (check HSG and RSM) for similarly great courses not that expensive :) That said if you are German Manheim is super solid (perhaps the most solid bachelor) and then you can aim for a top target in London (LBS n1 or LSE n2). Good luck!!
HSG is great too
Take Mannheim for your BSc and good luck. If you’re unsuccesful, try to get into Oxford FinEcon, LBS MFA or LSE MFin later
i did my BSc/MSc at SSE, and although its a great school (with many germans too lol), I’d say that Mannheim has better placements for germans. So indeed, especially at the BSc level, SSE is a target only for swedes/nordic people
Thank you for your answer! Would you be open to answer some questions about SSE for me in a private chat?
