Kings College/UCL/Oxford
Does Kings or UCL have any prestige among banks in Wall Street? How about Oxford? Planning on applying to these schools as an undergrad so just wondering.

I did my abroad term at King's in London. While it is, similar to UCL, quite known in London, I doubt it matches the reputation of Oxford. Nevertheless King's should give you plenty of opportunity to connect / network with all the BBs - probably at UCL too.
Thanks for the response. Do you think LSE also holds weight among BB's?
Certainly! I think at undergraduate level LSE takes the clear no. 1 spot in London regarding getting into banking. Though probably Imperial is a great choice too.
Tbh sure if you get into LSE / Oxford you'll probably have an edge over tier 2 unis, though from what I have seen if you put in the effort (start out early (spring into banking), network, great grades, etc.) you have a good shot from unis such as KCL, UCL too!
Oxford > UCL > KCL (at least for getting into banking).
This is for London, but no way you recruit for NYC IB from UK schools
Oxford trumps UCL and UCL generally trumps Kings.
I have a lot of friends from UCL (Undergraduate) who are getting internships at BBs and EBs in London, not so much my friends at King's.
