ESCP = Bocconi > others.
Are you french? Go ESCP, are you Italian go Bocconi, are you neither go ESCP.
Golden answer
Completely agree with the legend here. Unless you are Italian, you'd have a super tough time if you go to bocconi. So escp all the way. Also escp grads do well for themselves both in London and in French high finance scene.
My exposure to this info comes from a different pov. I worked as an admissions consultant part time, when I was doing my masters and placed 80+ students to the above mentioned schools and the likes. So have pretty close info on how the students did well for themselves after they joined these schools.
I would say Bocconi > ESCP >> EDHEC = EMLyon
Unless you are targeting the French market of course
Bocconi
But getting placed directly into VC/PE is highly unlikely from any grad school, need to spend some time in IB first and get trained up.
Good luck!
Not EDHEC definitely.
ESCP is great if you speak French.
I would say ESCP = Bocconi >> EDHEC > EMLyon
