Cannot speak for UK programs but for EU, pls don’t bother with anything other than HEC MFin and probably ESSEC MiM (the MFin here doesn’t seem to be a strong target for London). Also depends if you’re a native from an EU nation, so maybe RSM is good if you’re Dutch/SSE if you’re Swedish/WHU if you’re German, etc.

 

Gonna echo that HEC is the only continental school that places well regardless of your nationality, otherwise Bocconi/HSG/SSE could be good options should you be native in the language. If I was you I'd cast a wide net of applications to the UK and Europe, Warwick isn't so great at MSc level but Imperial, LBS, LSE, Oxford are all great.
