Help me make a decision Uk edition

hello guys, to give u some context, my goal is to work in finance/consutling in London. I am not set on IB, I am more leaning towards AM, Corp Banking or consulting. I am open to apply everywhere. I’ll do a masters in economics/economics and finance depending on the university
Now I applied to these five universities
University of Warwick (its my #1 choice and I know its the best university to go to out of the 5 however I am just saying if I don’t get accepted which is my second best option given the circumstances)

University of Bristol
Durham
Nottingham
University of Manchester (I am leaning towards Manchester because it has a high ranking but I keep seeing posts on WSO thats its not even a semi target at best. Is it only for Investment banking or for all FO roles including consulting?) If you were in my shoes which one would you choose ?

 

thanks for the reply, one more question what do you think of city university of london (cass business school) now named bayes as an option compared to the other universities besides Warwick ofc.

 

For finance warwick is technically a "target" and bristol/durham/notts "semi-targets". For consulting generally Warwick and durham + maybe bristol are semi targets (BCG CV scoring guide had warwick/ucl/durham/st.a's/edinburgh and i think maybe bristol + bath as tier 2 universities).

 

thanks for the reply, in warwick i have 2 options either a masters in economics or a masters in business and finance at WBS, do u think going for the econ masters will hurt my chances in recruiting or the Warwick brand is all the same for students. Because I find economics much more interesting than finance therefore i can get higher grades
