Hello, I was wondering how viable these two degrees are, and how much better LSE Pol Econ would be for getting into IB? I've heard the school that HPE is at has great connections for spring weeks and general success to do with them, yet I know that LSE is better. How much of a loss would it be to go to UCL HPE instead of LSE?
Thank you

Lse is betterUcl slightly worse.
LSE would be marginally better, but if you were to be rejected from any roles, going to UCL instead of LSE or vice versa would not be the reason for that rejection. LSE will have the better resources and culture to get into IB. Hence you will learn more about the process etc. however at UCL especially in SSEES where HPE is based, to my understanding there is less IB culture its more about policy making and civil service and research over there. So my two cents would be to go to LSE unless you enjoy idea of the UCL course more.
thank you very much for the detailed reply.
