How frequently are UCL grads targeted by MBB firms
I understand that UK MBB recruiting is heavily Oxbridge based. Would you say LSE/Imperial/UCL are targeted equally by MBB? Or is it LSE>Imperial>UCL
Thanks

loughborough is a sports uni that only ranks highly because it's student satisfaction ratings are through the roof. i've never met a truly smart person who went there. the academic quality is middling at best.
not a good uni. trust me.
While I agree it is not one of the very best universities, I don't really agree with your comment on academic quality. Some departments (engineering and product design spring to mind - as this is my industry) are top notch. I think the idea that Loughborough is only good for sport is a bit outdated, and I think it is on par with most of those Tier 2 universities listed. It is definitely more reputable than QUB - at least in my opinion.
Also - Lancaster belongs with them too.
sounds like you enjoyed your time at loughborough.
UCL=LSE=Imperial. I'm part of recruiting for a London MBB
Could you please verify anonymous claims, his "copy of the Guide" shows that you can't even pass screening from UCL.
Are you blind? It clearly says "screen out if you don't have a first or 2:1 + masters from priority uni". None of this is conjecture, literally a verbatim copy from the deck.
Maybe have a read of the actual slide? https://imgur.com/a/rPftI2d
Hey, could you share the whole document? Or point me to where it can be found?
