Hey,

I applied to Bocconi. Did you get a scholarship with them. Is cost important to you.

From what I know, Cass doesn't have as strong placement as the other programs despite being in London. RSM also has smaller numbers placed at banks than Bocconi; I hear that getting into investment banks is not as focused on by the students at RSM, but they are viewed with at the same level.

Bocconi is the place to go for Milan banking (heard it's very easy) and HEC for Paris. You have to speak the respective languages.

I view Bocconi the same way if I get in. If you have no experience, it is probably better to have a summer of internship at a London bank and the program allows that.

Also, I have been in contact with Bocconi's financial aid office in order to get them added with FAFSA. They were willing to go through the process for recognition (if you look, you can get aid for schools around world). Would make the whole loan process so much easier. The entire administration there seems are always willing to hear prospective students. I had a similar experience with their double degree office.

Hi there, any news about your application/admission to St. Gallen? I am going to apply after I do my GMAT and finish the motivational letter. Getting in touch with other prospective students would be great!

I've heard that Bocconi does well in London. The MSc programs you mentioned (St. Gallen, Bocconi) are pretty top MSF programs in Europe. You will most likely have to work in Europe/London for a couple years before coming back to the US.
