SSE vs ESSEC vs RSM for undergrad, Non-EU

Hi everyone, 


I have been admitted to SSE's BSc programme in Business and Economics, ESSEC's BBA programme, and RSM's IBA programme. 


I was wondering how these programmes are perceived in the EU finance industry, and which one would provide me with the best opportunities. Are any of these programmes considered targets on an undergrad level? After my undergraduate degree I plan to apply for a MiF or MiM. 


Thanks in advance for the answers!

 

Hi my ranking would be like this:

RSM>SSE>>>>ESSEC

ESSEC is clearly the worst option as sadly it is not even recognised in France by grande ecole students. It will impact your future opportunities later on. SSE is also really good but it has a lower alumni number than both schools.
