Uk national looking at US MBA's

Hi
Im currently studying economics at the University of Nottingham, (Semi-Target in the UK, UK top 10 world top 75) headed for a first class honours (3.8+ GPA equivelant), with good extra curriculars and work experience. I hold offers from both Oxfords MFE and LSE's Msc Finance.H

Heres mt questions...Afew years down the road if i wish to pursue a MBA at a top 7 US B.school or LBS would my undergraduate institution put me at a disadvantage when applying, or are other factors more important such as GPA, GMAT, work experience etc...

Also which masters degree would hold the most weight in the US? And would this make up for my undergrad institution?

Ps I wish to work in PE in the US some time in the future and I am an ethnic minority

I'm grateful that I have two middle fingers, I only wish I had more.
