UCL Vs Warwick Vs Umass Amherst Vs UW Madison Vs UofT for undergrad
Hello everybody, i'm an international student who has been accepted at the above universities for finance related courses. I have gotten a 50% scholarship at Umass and a 10% scholarship at UofT. Which university will set me up for a career in investment banking in a country where i can eventually get citizenship. While i can afford to go to all of these places, my budget would be stretched without a scholarship.
Settlement in the USA is a game of luck and particularly hard, I would try and go for the UK and UCL and Warwick are virtually the same for placements, pick whichever course you enjoy more and city you would enjoy living in.
UCL 100%. UCL and Warwick are almost identical when it comes to IB placements but London>>>>>Coventry
Found the UCL guy
Any recommendations for courses at UCL? I know course doesn’t really matter for the UK but surely a relevant one (Finance/Law/Economics and Business with East European Studies BA) would help land top EB offers (EVR/PJT/EY Belfast)
Literally doesn’t matter but Econ and Geography probably places the best for obvious reasons, especially for consulting (MBB/KPMG Audit)
To be honest, I heard Bristol places much better at top EB/BB in comparison with UCL/LSE/Imperial. Personally, I know couple of guys who got an offer at a MF straight out of Bristol undergrad (think KKR/Starwood/bGIP/Evercore)
.
EY Belfast may be the best use of this format I have ever seen
International studying in Warwick here. Had a similar choice back in the day and choose Warwick due to easier settlement and greater opportunities. If you can share which courses you got the offer for in UCL/Warwick I can give more colour. Each course has very different demographics and thus different student experiences.
At warwick i got into Accounting and Finance while at UCL i got into Statistics, Economics, and Finance. only issue is my UCL offer is kind of difficult so i will probably end up going to warwick if i dont meet it.
hey man, doing PPE most likely. any opinions?
UCL and don’t look back
If you pick UK, then UCL over Warwick.
With that being said an analyst in NYC earns 1.5x-2x what a London analyst would earn. You really have to weigh up where you would like to live the first few years out of undergrad

I don’t know about this advice. Especially when you hit the Australia example. Australia has a very small IB or other finance presence and their universities are not exactly widely known around the world. I’d have chosen UBC due to its proximity to the US market. Going to the top school in a small market is not always the better option. I disagree a great deal with that advice. You could also argue that UofT isn’t exactly a target, it’s more of a semi-target for Canadian IB. If we’re talking business schools in Canada Western Ivey, Queens Commerce and McGill all place above Rotman at the undergrad level. In Canada especially, people apply to programs, and prestige is related to individual programs rather than the school as a whole. Waterloo is world-renowned for their engineering, mathematics and computer science departments, McMaster for their Health Sciences, UofT Engineering and Life Sciences etc. While UofT is top notch in most programs and definitely offers rigorous coursework, UBC is on that tier as top 3 in Canada (from an overall perspective)

i heard canada is being really strict with giving out visas to people from south asia. thats my only concern with choosing canada

Warwick student here. Got a 100k scholarship to study at rotman and still chose Warwick. Canada to US pathway isn’t easy at all and Warwick for london recruiting would be better. UCL vs Warwick ultimately comes down to what you prefer but UofT doesn’t come close icl
