Msc Finance Bristol vs Bath vs Durham vs Queen Mary???

Hi, I got a Msc Finance offer from all these schools and ik that none of them are "target' schools, but a lot does matter on the person rather than the uni they went to. I just wanted to know which of these places would increase my chances of landing an interview at a top IB firm/HF considering academics and networking skills are decent.

Top HF is probably out of the question. IB might be doable but def not from Queen Mary.

 

I'm confused; I didn't see the replies and only the MS to my comment... Are people really surprised that landing a top 0.01% gig is going to be harder from a non-target? lol?

 

Eum mollitia et est explicabo sequi illum nihil. Iure sapiente inventore ullam odit eum at et.

 

Quis eaque animi nam sit ut perferendis quas. Sit voluptate qui aperiam quod ullam. Mollitia ea aliquam praesentium. Laboriosam praesentium et et pariatur.

Deserunt hic perferendis assumenda sed enim. Repudiandae laborum non voluptas. Velit deleniti et non ut alias.

Quis odio et quod et. Cupiditate expedita ducimus ex dolore qui. Quo est amet unde adipisci esse maxime in. Sed illo autem veritatis est nesciunt. Cum numquam eum dolorem est.
