Hi everybody!
This is my first post here and I hope not to be off-topic.
My current situation is this:
- 27 yo italian
- BSc cum laude from Bocconi University 6 years ago
- After the University I went back to my home town to work in family business
- I'd like to pursue a MSc from top European BSchool (ESADE, LSE, LBS, IE...). I could also get a scholarship given that I scored 750 on GMAT.
Do I have any chances to get in one of the top three Consulting Firms after MSc in Italy or Spain?
Which MSc would give me the best chances given reputation, academic quality, network etc?
Thanks for your answers!

Hi Francesco! Thanks for your answer. I don't think I would fit in a top MBA, since I've been running my family business in a small town up to now. I would be glad to join MBB as a fresh graduate and start from scratch. Do you think that this break in my studies will influence my career goals? What are the best MSc in your opinion? Thanks a lot
Hi Tony, I would recommend then to follow the following strategy: (i) prepare application for top 4-5 MBAs in Europe as for the list above; (ii) if that doesn’t work, try to find a referral and apply now for MBB; (iii) if everything fails, consider a Master. I really don’t see any advantage of applying for a Master now instead of option (i) and (ii). As for top masters, I would consider Bocconi, Esade, IE, HEC, LSE, keeping an eye on the costs, scholarships available and preferred geographies. But again, I would consider this as a third-best after the previous mentioned options. Feel free to PM me if needed. Hope this helps, Francesco
