UMich Ross vs London School of Economics

Hello, 

I was admitted into Ross and LSE for my undergraduate studies. I am looking to go into hedge funds post college. I do know the most common pathway is through IB, but if possible I'd like to directly go into a hedge fund.

Thankfully, finances are not really much of a deciding factor for me. I also might want to pursue an MBA 4-5 years after my undergraduate (might apply for a 2+2). From what I understand, LSE is far more prestigious and recognisable anywhere outside of the USA, whereas Ross would position me far better for the American financial services industry.

Which should I choose?
