LSE vs Oxford vs UPenn (Wharton) for Undergrad

Hi all, I am quite struggling to make a decision. I recently got an offer to study at three amazing Unis: UPenn (Wharton), LSE - Bsc Finance, and Oxford - Economics and Management. My goal is to get some work experience after graduation at IB/PE and then move to HK/China and work at a fund there. Which school would you say is the most suitable for this goal? Thanks

Wharton for sure! They are a world wide known school and you can work anywhere with a degree from there. But if you are sure you wanna work in the UK then Oxford is the way to go. But i strongly consider you to choose Wharton.

Good luck:)
