UVA vs. LSE for BB recruiting

Looking to see which would be better for BB recruiting in general (US or UK, I have reason to work in either). Would be doing business/finance at UVA (McIntire) vs. economics/math at LSE. It'd be great to just hear which alums you tend to see more.

Thank in advance for the help.

DrPeterVenkmanPretty simple. Want to work in USA go to UVA. Want to work in UK/Europe go to LSE.
"They are all former investment bankers that were laid off in the economic collapse that Nancy Pelosi caused. They have no marketable skills, but by God they work hard."
