Target undergrad vs target masters

Target undergrad (Warwick) vs target masters (lse/imperial types) for IB/consulting?

Worth noting that target masters will cost much more and admissions are also a lot more competitive (I have the grades to get into Warwick 2021, but it’s not a complete guarantee).

Lmao at Warwick as a "target". Only real targets are Oxford, Cambridge followed by LSE.

 

Warwick undergrad is a target for IB. Not really a target for consulting, but I don’t see why not if you have a standout profile.

Don’t bother with the masters unless you can’t get in from undergrad.
