EDHEC, ESADE, IE or LSE?
Hey guys,
I'm currently applying to all four schools and I've already been admitted to RichardIvey with their CEMS program in Canada. Richardivey's program isn't focused on finance although they do have finance recruiters but I wanted a much more quantitative program.
I'm just wondering what my chances are to getting into any of the schools mentioned. I have a 3.2-3.3 gpa, estimated 680 gmat score and a cv full of finance extracurricular with 6 months of research assistant with a finance professor. I'm looking to either work in London or north america so obviously LSE would probably be the best option but I think my chances of getting in would be slim.
What do you guys think? Thanks!
Ps: if there are anyone here that's an alumni or currently studying in any of these schools please shoot me a pm! I'd love to have a chat with you

Honestly, getting a work Visa in the UK is a nightmare for all but the biggest firms. I had several headhunters tell me that unless I had an EU Passport, I was pretty much SoL. A lot of those schools don't have much caché in North America, so they really won't help you get a job on this side of the pond. If you want name caché on both sides of the pond and the opportunity to study in Europe, go LSE, OXford, Cambridge or just forget it.
LSE is the best of this lot followed by the 2 Spanish schools. EDHEC is the 3rd school in France for business (behind HEC/INSEAD) and a lot of French companies will look at other tier 1 non-business schools (ENA/Science Po/Polytech) so EDHEC is more like going to a semi-target.
Well I've been accepted to richardivey's msc program with CEMS and doing an exchange with HEC paris and stockholm university. I was wondering if I should just take this program or apply directly to these schools. I have a feeling that although HEC is a big name in france, a lot of recruiters will undermine it because it was an exchange, is that true?
Hello people,
I was wondering if you could clear out to me some points between these universities. I got a 660 on the GMAT, Im Colombian and I work in Investment banking now as a 1st year analyst at the biggest bank in my country. I speak fluent english and French.
I am starting my applications to a master in finance to get into private equity mostly, and stay whether in Europe (France, Spain, Switzerland or UK) or target NY or Miami.
My first option is EDHEC because it is well targeted in france, great alumni network, the career service, I love the Cote d'azur and not so expensive compared to LSE, LBS or HEC. I have some doubts, given my nationality that I could get a job easily, even though I aspire with my level of french after one year at EDHEC I could make it. I was also targeting ESADE and LSE, but given that spanish if my native language and in the UK is harder to get a job because non EU passport, is this correct?
What do you think whether it would how hard to get a job after in PE or Investment banking? How are the conditions for non EU to look for a job in France after master in the same country?
LSE clearly the best of those but IE or ESADE are definitely good options too. IE or ESADE are pretty much similar in terms of prestige. EDHEC would be a bit below that.
