Bachelors at LSE or Imperial for IB?
I've been fortunate enough to be offered places for 2024 Entry for LSE BSc Finance and Imperial BSc Economics, Finance and Data Science but am struggling to be able to pick between the two.
For me the balance is greater course/university prestige for LSE and a "better" alumni network, but I find the course slightly more interesting at Imperial. I also would appreciate any advice on how people who went to either university/did LSE Finance (Imperials EFDS is a brand new course - I'd be the second cohort) found the experience/culture.
Thank you in advance for the help.
LSE along with Oxbridge is in a league of its own when it comes to IB recruiting. Imperial is also a target for firms, but LSE will definitely give you a better chance at landing roles
Thank you. That's the way I am currently leaning, I think the opportunity of going to LSE is too good to pass up.
LSE... You can't go wrong
LSE does seem to good to pass up

Thank you. I had a conversation with a Finance First Year last week and the LSE Spring Week Culture was definitely a huge selling point for me, so that's the way I have been leaning.
The more quantitative side of the Imperial course was appealing, but if I want to get into Quant I'll be doing an MFE anyway, and I think both courses will put me in an equally good position for that.

Would take Imperial EFDS, much more selective and better university overall.
The truth is more people get into IB from LSE simply because there are more applicants. But every Imperial student who wants to can easily get into.
Take this forum with a grain of salt, it is full of LSE kids

I've seen a lot more Imperials at Deloitte than I do at LSE, my friend! You so sure everyone can if they wanted to at Imperial? ;)
