Imperial MSc Management VS LSE MSc Management and Strategy

Hi everyonw, I am accepted by Imperial MSc Management and LSE MSc Management and Strategy. I am now very hesitating between those two schools. I am aware that LSE has a better reputation in city, however, I am not really quite into this programme compared to IC management. Addtionally, I was a biochemist before this. So, any suggestions ? Thanks very much, I would appreciate it.

There is a biorad variety of companies present at the careers fairs including finance companies such as DE Shaw, Marshall Wace, Brevan Howard and the other banks. We also have all the MBB come to campus as well as other consulting firms like LEK consulting etc (who also partner with us for the Imperial consulting group projects).

I am biased as I see Imperial students being more academically smart but having less business acumen than your average LSE student. Most LSE students attend and immediately know their plans, whereas at Imperial you have a bunch of very intelligent (but lazy) STEM kids who panic final year.

 

Either program will land you an interview at top consulting firms like MBB, Strategy&, Oliver Wyman etc. I know a few grads that attended Imperial College Business School and those with good grades got their invitations easily. You cannot go wrong with either program.
