Which school would you recommend? SSE vs CBS vs RSM

Hi everyone! I'm here ready to start my last year as undergraduate(business administration) in Italy and I'm looking for next year's Msc. My three choices would be: International Economics at SSE, International Economics at Erasmus University and Applied or Advanced Economics at Cbs. Which one would you choose? How would you rank these school? Imho SSE is way above the other two, and therefore would be my 1st choice but I know it requires a top Gmat. If I won't be admitted there, Cbs or Rotterdam?

about me: Italian 20years old, graduate degree attended 107-110/110, English and German speaking (both b2 level) and gmat hopefully around 630/650 (need to take it within a month).

How do you see these 3 school? Which would you pick? Any suggestion? Other uni with affordable fees (10k€) ?

Thanks!

I would recommend you International Economics at SSE school. It is very good school. If you want to study well, this will be better option for you out of 3. I have few friends in that school and they really love it. Atmosphere is cool, campus is clean and nice. Teachers are very friendly. If you want your future better, then I will strongly recommend you to join that school.

 

SSE is way above those two, and is really good place to study Economics, but you should try to score higher in GMAT, average is usually around 700 for SSE
