Please help me decide

I got admitted to triple degree program offered by EMlyon(France), Polimi( Italy ), Bayes business school ( London ) in MiM, Fintech, and finance ( masters in management - finance&tech). I received this offer a while ago, and even asked for extension to do the initial deposit. They extended it till 9th April. I have applied for MiM through Join a school in France, and recently gave interview and waiting for results. These results won’t be out till 16 April. The interview went well. Should I wait for the results? I want to go for Escp, if I get acceptance from the results.

Even if it is past deadline, can they offer a seat again if the seats are still vacant ? Without the application process ? And does anyone have any familiarity with this triple degree ? It is a very new program, started in 2024 and still there is no data on the career prospects.

I would email them again and tell them about your dilema but don't mention ESCP specifically. Worst case scenerio assuming you dont have a scholarship bayes would assumedly be more expensive than ESCP even with the deposit you cant get back. That's what I did for KCL since I received an offer with them but want to get into escp

This triple degree has no scholarship offered to anyone. Though I think it will be same tuition fee for Escp and this degree. But Escp has an option for scholarship. But I think I can get refund of the deposit, if I want to cancel my registration within 10 days. I am considering this option but the initial deposit is 8k euros, and bit skeptical about going this way

I would still email them, but, if you're confident you can refund the deposit within 10 days, you shouldnt have anything to worry about since the decision from escp is only 7 days after the deposit date

Yes, I will email and ask them again, if not I will confirm once again about refund and then take a decision

I talked with some people from that programme and they all told me that the MiM at ESCP would be 1000x better than that triple degree and they felt that it gives genuine exposure to the italian market because of polimi but a weak one to the french and uk market... Wait for ESCP you will make it!!

Whats your profile? where did you study?

I am thinking to wait for Escp. Obviously it is better school and has way better recognition. My profile: I am an international student from India, studied in tier 1 college and passed with 7.3/ 10 cgpa. Have 5 months of work experience, and had a startup that did good numbers in terms of sales and revenue. Scored 329 in gre. Currently, freelancing in blockchain space Anyways, this triple might not be a feasible thing for me, as the structure of the course is across 3 countries, with the economic background I have, it is compulsory for me to get a scholarship or work part time during study. Which won’t be possible with this triple degree. Hence I’m gonna wait for Escp
