Going to post this here too!
I'm in a predicament! I'm a current junior (A semester ahead of schedule) at a small liberal arts college. I play a college sport there, and pay next to nothing <5000 a year including room and board.
My dream is to get an MBA at a top school, preferably in Europe. However, my top choice is to do the Grand Ecole program at HEC.
Here is where my decision gets tough:
I was accepted into a public school university study abroad program just recently, which would send me to Europe for a year and I would earn an economics degree at a school in Belgium, and also a degree from the public school. It would definitely make my gpa drop, as the school in Belgium is taught entirely in French, and is 40-50% math based. It would also make me graduate on time, rather than early, but that's not a huge issue.
My only concern is getting into an Mba/Ecole program after graduation. Would 2 degrees be worth the cost (20,000$ extra) and look better to mba programs than say, a 3.7 gpa at my current school? The reason I mention cost is because I don't want to pay a good bit of extra money that offers no tangible benefit to me. If it does, I have no problem paying it.
The University in Belgium is the Catholique de Louvain
GPA is at a 3.5 right now in Business Management
GMAT hasn't been taken, but without any real studying or focus I am trending in the mid 600's, so I would hope to get a high score once I spend more time solely on that.

Hi there,
Y'know, I kind of view this opportunity (money aside) as a way to broaden your horizon. Don't sacrifice what could be an amazing opportunity just because you don't want your GPA to drop a bit. That's ok. A degree in Econ is nothing to sneeze at and you'll walk away hopefully speaking much better French. Schools evaluate the story you tell. Some things make stories stronger by being cool, others make stories stronger by making more sense, and some both. Which this will be you won't know until the die is cast. But it SEEMS to be a cool opportunity that I think could be worth exploring!

Bhavik,
I appreciate this so much. Your opinion makes sense, and it's nice to hear from professionals. I'm sure I will be using your service at some point anyways, and I love the quick response!
So from what I gathered, in your professional opinion.... you THINK (I know there is no garuntee) HEC would rather have someone with a 3.2 and a double economics degree(And all the program offers) verses someone with say a 3.7 degree in business management?
Very focused on HEC at this point in my life, and so I want to give myself the absolute best chance at getting in!
