LSE vs Stern
Which school for undergrad would provide the best return on investment (I am a US resident). Stern is more expensive by a considerable amount, but I've been told U.S. comp is better than London.

I would say it really depends where you wanna recruit and work
As you are a US resident (I am assuming green card so no sponsorship issues) and NYU is a great school for IB recruiting I would maybe advise NYU. UK seems to be a little better than the US regarding recruiting for international students but still not as easy if you were a local citizen. I have also had some friends at LSE who didn't have the best time with recruiting and had to either take Big 4 (the big 4 roles weren't IB; more like Audit, Tax, Risk, few TAS) or TAS and valuation in a lesser-known firm. As you have the benefit of being a US resident recruiting should be easier. US comps are higher so I think ROI is similar (I am leaning a little towards the US but I might be biased).
Take Stern. Recruiting for the US from a UK school is near impossible and UK salaries are dogshit. I will say, London is imo a better city overall than NYC.

Stern 100%
you should base your decision on where you see yourself living, not IB recruiting...UK vs US is a huge difference
