International Student in a US College London IB/PE chances

Current sophomore in a non-target (ranked top 20 in the world), diversity, home country in Europe, 2 Big4 consulting internships in home country, 2 PE internships in boutique shops in US, and had MM NYC offer that expired Pretty much done with the US process, decided to try out for BBs/EBs in London.I have been seeing lots of kids with Masters. Is IB in London exclusive to Masters student/ LSE or Oxford undergrads? Anyone who went to school in the US recruited for London? Would be very helpful to hear any views/ experiences. Thanks in advance

I got an MM SA offer, and the firm I got in was sponsoring OPT, but I want to move to London to be closer to home. I also really want to work with bigger firms by being in a BB/EB as I start my career in finance
