LSE Course

Hello:

I am presently working on college applications and know that I hope to pursue IB to gain analyst experience and likely a full career. In addition to applying to domestic schools, I am applying to Oxford and LSE. At Oxford I know that my course is Philosophy, Politics, and Economics, but I am uncertain about LSE. I understand that they have a top Economics program, but they also offer a Finance (or Accounting and Finance) course which is predominately not an option in the US. I am leaning toward Economics due to the vast background it provides in the liberals arts and overall when compared the technical content of Finance, but I do not want to make the wrong decision as I cannot change courses after enrolling. What do people in IB recommend for recruiting and working in NY or London?

Thx.
