Amherst College vs LSE
I would be an international student at both, so which of the two offers a better pipeline to high finance and a solid career? Are there any important sponsorship considerations? I could also go to SSE instead (not considered international here). Of course, working in NYC is a dream but what's the right choice here?
Amherst no dif. Amherst recruits just as well as most Ivy's and ofc you want to be in the US. Take a hint from the prince of Monaco and go Amherst.

Without location in mind, LSE blows almost any US school out of the water, ie placing like Wharton in Europe as the top feeder. LSE places terribly in the US because that’s a) not the ambition of those at LSE and b) there is therefore no alumni network. The only reason Amherst could even be considered here (for finance LSE is HYPW equivalent) is NYC, in which case it’s the better option, despite being a weaker semi target.
Def not a „weak semi Target“ buddy
Yeah but your school is also not an Ivy at all, it’s not even as good as Williams
You are mad. LSE sits within thesame bucket as Oxbridge and Warwick lol
Who invited Warwick lol
Yeah but you have to live in England
Even in the UK LSE is not seen on the same level as HYP. Maybe LSE students think that, but only Oxbridge is on the same level as HYP, where Cambridge is generally on the same level as YP and Oxford is on the same level as H to your average blokes.
Keep in mind it’s MUCH easier hiring internationals in London than NYC.
If not an athlete Amherst is a semi target
This is just Williams cope, Amherst alumni are not like this
You were an athlete at Amherst, weren't you.
Go to LSE hands down. The name brand will follow you for the rest of your life.
Oxford is the only British university that carries significant weight in every corner of the world
you get paid shit on the other side of the pond, both'll place good if you put in the work though
Amherst because the pay is shit in Europe
As a Scandinavian go to LSE.
Let’s be honest. The only prestigious university in Europe is Oxford.
Atque laborum temporibus culpa ad. Aperiam et aspernatur omnis unde est.
