HEC MiF vs. LBS MFA

Hi guys, I currently hold an offer from HEC MiF and expect to receive one from LBS as well. Issue is that I'm from North America and do not speak a second European language besides English.

How is the placement from both of these programs? I've heard that HEC has been superior in recent years for landing BB/EB, but would that still hold for non-French speakers recruiting for London? I have prior experience in M&A and a few other internships, but I'm not sure I will be competitive for IB recruiting without being EU national.

Would appreciate any thoughts or advice.

For the last couple of years the general consensus has been that LBS's cohort for programs such as MFA and MIM scaled too much and therefore the candidate quality is not as strong as it was before, resulting in a drop at numbers for strong placements. If you have an offer from HEC MIF I'd say take it, not knowing french is not going to hold you off for London.
