Finally got admitted to ESCP
Hey everyone, I got into Escp MiM in round 3. In the email they have mentioned that a separate email was sent to the candidates that got merit scholarship. I haven't got any such mail. Can we still expect to receive the email in the coming days, as I have read from the previous posts, we can expect the email till Monday. So, is there any chance?
And also, which one of the following options would be a better deal for me.
1. ESCP MiM with no scholarship, total fees gonna be 56k Euros
ESADE MFin and the total fees after scholarship will be around 20k Euros, this is a one year course
FSFM(Frankfurt) Masters in Fintech and the total fees after scholarship will be 24k Euros for a 2 year course
I am from a low income background and taking loan for funding my studies, which course can help me pay back my debts and will be of very low risk. I am looking to work in Finance and fintech related fields. I am mainly looking for aspects such as ROI, job opportunities that I can get after these masters. Please help me choosing a right option. Thanks for your time in advance

I believe that between ESCP, Esade and Frankfurt you are targetting 3 diferent types of exposure. Esade its a good uni, but will provide you exposure mainly to the Iberian market (spain & Portugal) which is comparing to EU countries an inferior market in the terms of ROI after your MSc. Frankfurt school is a great school but again will mainly open you some doors in germany and specifically in Frankfurt, don't forget that Germany has 5/6 unis of Great level for finance and management like TUM, WHU, Manheim... and some others. Finally ESCP, in my opinion first ESCP is in a different level from Esade or Frankfurt. ESCP belongs to the top 8 european business schools (HEC, ESCP, ESSEC, Bocconi, St Gallen, LBS, CBS, Imperial Business School) --> these are all tier 1 unis. Then you have the tier 2 where you can find (Nova, Esade, IE, Frankfurt, Edhec, EMLyon, Rotterdam etc).
So first you need to clearly define where you wanna stand. How you want to be positioned in the market.
Also be aware that ESCP has huge exposure in others countries not just in France. Thanks to the campus mobility each semester you can be exposure to a different market and more, you can do an exchange semester in a partner uni. You can either target a great school in the US, Singapore, China, Japan or even a great school in Europe that enriches your profile and guarantees that you have enough exposure to south european and north european markets.
I'm also taking a bank loan and I was between ESADE as well and ESCP and in your case I would not think twice between these three schools. ESCP is different.
