[quote=Mambojambo2024][quote=Anonymous][quote=Mambojambo2024]Hello,

Long time lurker but going through the process now with DS.
DS has done two summer pre-college programs in Soph and Jr year in Europe. While his top target schools are in the US, he has become enamored with ESCP. He toured their London campus and their Turin campus.

Has anyone here even heard anything about ESCP Business School or know kids that have applied or considered? I know in the US there are several t50 that have study abroad opportunities with ESCP. But the school is well known mainly in Europe. Seems like an incredible experience for those kids that know what they want to study. 3 years in 3 different campuses. Paris, London, Turin.

We recently met 3 recent grads from their BSC in Management program. Two American kids and one Mexican kid. They all spoke very highly of their experience. Definitely NOT the typical US college experience.  Mexican kid is at McKinsey, one of the American kids at BCG and their other American friend at Airbus.

DS is fluent in Spanish, is learning Italian and has a EU passport alongside his US passport.

Looking at it from the context of an American parent about to drop $300k on an education, I just couldn’t believe how much cheaper Tuition is. You not only graduate in just 3 years, but Tuition for those with a EU passport is $18k. $54k for all 3 years vs $70k Plus for just one year at the private t60s schools he is looking at in the US. He is focusing on t20-t60 ranges.

I have a hard time believing a $300k+ education at a private t60 US college is 6x+ better than a business education at a good European Business school.

I dont know if he would ever come back to work in the US. He is 17. I’m assuming he would like to. My concern is how US employers would look at an American kid with a degree from an European Business school. He would likely stay in Europe to get a Masters right after graduating and maybe come back with 2 degrees in 4 years. For instance, ESCP has a priority application deal with Imperial College for some of their 1-yr MS programs.

Any info or commentary would be appreciated.

Good points here but wondering why you are comparing to an expensive top 60 private? Why not a top 60 public that would be half the price? Also for US students who know what they want to study and attend a top 50+ public, they can graduate in 3 years due to DE and AP credits. Kind of sounds like you are trying to convince yourself that the EU option is better.[/quote]

Simply because these are the schools my son has applied to….I’m not trying to convince myself of anything. I’m simply making observations and asking for opinions as it relates to this ONE school he applied to in Europe. The decision of where to go is not mine. He has applied to two t50 public’s as an OOS applicant and 1 in-state that will be very tough for him to get in, so who knows…..5 privates from t20-t60, 3 UK schools and 1 EU school. So far he has been accepted at a Private t-100 as his safety. While he got some scholarship at this one, it is still $50k per yr Tuition. None of the privates he has applied to will give him any credit for his AP/Dual Credit courses, so he will do 4 years.

So there is nothing to convince…only trying to be factual with cost/benefit analysis based on the schools he has applied to (his decision) not mine….
