Imperial MSc Management VS LSE MSc Management

Hello guys,

I am in the fortunate position to choose between LSE and Imperial for my masters in management. Based on the program structure of both schools i am inclined to choose Imperial because of the finance electives offered and some other features of the program. However, most people i have talked to, regard the LSE's brand slightly higher and that puts me into doubt since my goal is employment in MBB in London. In your opinion, is there merit in choosing one over the other? or both will get me through the door and it will come down to the rest of my CV?

False. BCG look at both equally and thus I assume McK and Bain do the same. The imperial MSc in Management is ranked higher and has a wider array of electives.

 

LSE is just more selective, not saying that consulting firms value more than one or the other, but in the long run, LSE is more respected in finance/business/consulting. Don’t know anyone that didn’t get an offer from imperial if they applied in the MiM at LSE where as the opposite isn’t true, plenty of my friends at Imperial for various masters including the MiM didn’t get an offer from LSE.

Agree with the poster below that LBS>LSE.
