You don't need strong quant skills for IB/Consulting/Law. If you told me you wanted to do a quant role like trading, research etc, I would say UCL. Cambridge will open way more doors

 

Degree doesn’t matter, Uni does. Even if Cam geography is a joke (which btw I don’t believe), who cares? You can always pick “stem” skills in your own free time

 

The older I get the less I agree. There is not a single MD who will look at those two CVs differently. They are exactly the same.

This uni differentiation is a kid thing (I have no skin in the game, went to a top US college) so it’s much more about what you get out of the experience. I personally love Cambridge and have a house out in that area but for a lot of people, London is better and will present its own unique set of opportunities. Comes down to what you want.
