Need urgent advice
help.
Want a career in IB/consulting. These are my options (paying £30k out of pocket is possible, rest will all be loans):
1) Non target £40k — already have admission with scholarship here + target MSc (£40k-£50k) = total £80/90k - UG is possible, MSc depends heavily on loans and admissions (very competitive)
2) Target UG only = £70/90k - depends heavily on loans and admission
3) Semi target UG only = £60k easy admission, again depends on loans and if it’s worth it
4) No name + (hopefully) target Msc = £40-50k. This will only happen if options 2 and 3 both aren’t possible. Won’t have strong internships/profile with this.
Will have to take a gap year for options 2,3,4.
What would you do?

It's a bit hard to answer without more details. Such as which schools? Not all targets / non-targets / semi-targets are the same. Have you been accepted to all these programs? Or are these only potential scenarios?
Sorry, let me clarify. I have admission to a non target (Birmingham, Loughborough types where the uni is decent but barely any finance presence). That’s option 1.
The targets that I’d apply to are UCL, LSE and Warwick. I meet the grades for Warwick and am just under the requirements for UCL and LSE. I’d have to take a gap year to reapply.
The semi targets I’d apply to are Bristol and Nottingham, I easily meet the entry requirements and admission won’t be too hard.
Hope that explains it.
I strongly recommend going to a target, Warwick, if you can. Not sure if a gap year to apply for UCL / LSE is worth it.
I'd completely forget about the Birmingham/Loughborough type programs. Not worth it in comparison. Nottingham is better, but going to Warwick will set you up for a finance job post-uni.
I dont' see a need to focus on Msc programs at this point, you haven't even started your uni yet and may not need one if your job placement goes well.
