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?
