LBS vs Imperial vs UCL

Helloooo,

I just got an offer from the LBS Msc Management, Imperial Msc Accounting and Finance and UCL Msc Venture Capital and Private Equity with Financial Technology.

I would like to work in strategy consulting but am also interested in venture capital

I am leaning towards LBS but am scared that a Management degree might prevent me from pursuing Venture Capital in the future. That said the LBS MiM lets me choose 4 electives which can be all finance related (M&A, Private Equity, Financial Analysis etc.)

I really don't know what to choose at this point and the deadlines for accepting offers is coming in the next weeks... Any guidance would be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance :)
