Choosing a university in Europe to work in the states

I want to live and work in the US. Though my grandparents were quite rich, none of their money is left, so I can't really study in the US. I've applied to many universities in France and Belgium, but no private business schools. I have good grades, so I'm expecting to at least get admitted into one of these: Sorbonne, Assas and Paris-Saclay in France, or in Belgium KU Leuven or, as a second option the university of Antwerp?
If I study in France, it'll be all in french. That's something that I don't really like, but I assume it's better than studying in English in a less prestigious university. I wanna work in management consulting, IB or PE. what's my best option here?

You are going nowhere in finance with a licence (3). BBA (4) is the bare minimum, master (5) if you are in France.MBA requieres at least 3 years of pro experience if you want to (i) be accepted and (ii) really learn something out of it (need maturity and concrete nderstanding of the topics).If you are so sure about going to the US, I would advise to (i) take a loan and go for a great US uni or (ii) low-cost well-ranked uni/master in Europe, IB in London/Paris and then transfer or VIE. Still let you room to do an MBA if you struggle to transfer. Might be some graduate program opportunities too. In regard of the uni you listed in France, Sorbonne is clearly the best in terms of alumni working in IB. Try Dauphine too and some foreign like SSE.France uni ranking is Science Po > Dauphine > Sorbonne >>>>>>> GL to break into IB in any other (not even talking of going abroad)

 

The problem with having to work in Europe before transferring to the US or doing an MBA is that it means I'd have to stay about 6 years in Europe first. Though I admit that realistically, you're right.
