Chances to get in?

Hello,
if I received a Bachelor in Business Administration from the University of St.Gallen, how would my chances of getting accepted as an analyst in IB in M&A at a BB in London or NY be?
And does it matter if I study Business Administration in English or German?

Thanks in advance.

 

Frankly, the language in which your classes are given is not of relevance at all. I highly doubt that recruiters are even aware of whether or not you took English-language classes at university.

On a side note, there are so many different ways nowadays in which you can improve your English (if need be) so that you shouldn't have to rely on your lectures to get up to speed with your English language skills.

Wenn ich ehrlich bin, glaube ich auch nicht, dass die Muttersprachler hier sich in deine Situation hineinversetzen können und die richtigen Adressaten für deine Fragen sind.

It shouldn't really matter, but it would also be a good idea to take some business classes in English to familiarize yourself with specific terms. Eigentlich, was du willst! Es kann nur aber hilfreich sein

So you think it doesn’t matter if I study it in English or German assuming my English is good enough for the job generally.

This. Definitely take any chance you can get to improve your English but don't fret about it.
