Hi, Italian student as well. I'm going to apply to MIF in IE, HEC, LBS and maybe ESCP MEB (i currently live in Paris). I see that online there is a really poor number of opinions about IE, especially recent ones.
Reading the brochures, seems to me that IE program is very professional oriented, being different from all the others i've read about (maybe is similar only to the LBS's one). About HEC, I tried to get into a PhD last year, and I found the campus to be very far from Paris, not perfectly organized, but still, the HEC brand will provide you more jobs in Europe than any other (maybe only insead with MBA's could do more, in my opinion). I'm following the post, if anybody could give us more opinions would really help a lot!
