Cambridge🇬🇧 vs UNC Chapel Hill🇺🇸 for IBD/Consulting

Hey guys I’m a senior in high school and are wondering if I should commit Cambridge(Asian Studies major) or UNC Chapel Hill’s KF Business School. I prefer to work in IBD/Consulting in the 🇺🇸, which pays better; but obviously Cambridge has better reputation globally. The costs of both universities are similar(with Cambridge somewhat more expensive); salary in the 🇬🇧 is also lower. Which college should I commit? Need advice plz🙏🙏

Yeah I've heard that UNC is the best for privileged white ppl, and its hard to Asian males to break into finance; plus it's not prestigious enough to be a target for consulting either |
