HEC MiF vs. LSE MSc A&F

Hi monkeys,

Have the above two offers and need your advice on which one to take for IB/PE placement in LDN.

My profile - UK target undergrad, MM REPE OC internship, MF REPE SA, EB IB OC internship, non-diverse, non-EU international student.

Pros of LSE - Won't need sponsorship for SA 2025, 2y graduate visa, networking opportunities being in LDN.

Pros of HEC - World #1 ranking, 100% employment rate, officially "graduate" in March 2026 so can apply to two recruitment cycles/do a few OCs after finishing exams in June 2025.

Would appreciate any advice - thanks!
