Big selection bias. Every student’s wet dream at LSE is banking, whilst mostly only econ/business students do at other universities. 

 

This is highly inaccurate as it looks like you did not filter properly through LinkedIn. Just looking at people with "Investment Banking" in their title (so analysts, associates, VPs...etc) at JP Morgan in London, the LSE only has 48. You do not want to extend your search beyond London because a LOT of foreign students do the LSE's summer programs and then have it on their LinkedIn which inflates the school's placement to the point that the numbers you're getting are no longer significant

 

I’m just wondering, based on your research, at the Masters level do you think it’ll make more sense to take a Cass Business School - Msc Finance offer or Warwick Business School - MSc Business & Finance if ultimate goal is IBD/AM?

 

This is so inaccurate. Half the people that are in banking put "Warwick business school" as their university. I can assure you one thing, there are probably more than 150 people currently working at JPM/MS/GS who are from warwick
