Which universities in the UK are targets and how would you rank them?
Is the course important (e.g. Oxford Physics vs. LSE Economics) and taken into consideration by recruitment?
| 🚨 Is CPT basically dead for international students in finance right now? | 3 | 6d | |
| +16 | Wall St. MBA Rankings? | 7 | 2d |
| +12 | Need MBA advice | 2 | 4d |
| +10 | need help!! | 3 | 1d |

Non Targets
Lancaster, Queen Mary University, St Andrews, Imperial College, University of Leeds + all the rest
PPE is considered the most prestigious course, after that is all the same, I have seen plenty of people going far in banking with a major in History or Literature
LBS is more respected for postgrad no?
My revisions would also be:
- Imperial College London in 2nd Tier, above UCL.
- Warwick moved up into lowest position of 2nd Tier.
- Durham into top of 3rd Tier: Durham is way better than KCL.
- Notts included in top quartile of 3rd tier: Good placement into finance recently + good finance society.
- KCL moved into lower position of 3rd tier: Finance society is way worse than many say. Durham/Notts/Bath(exclusive placements) way better than KCL.
+ Courses don't matter (I'd just say Econ/Finance grads would typically be seen as best - but honestly doesn't matter).
Imperial doesn’t offer an Economics/Finance course whereas UCL does. Surely that puts someone studying one of these courses at UCL above ICL?
Perhaps the most pretentious and inaccurate ranking I have ever seen.
I explained the reasoning in my answer.
So I don't know what part is necessarily pretentious and/or inaccurate.
