Undergrad Tier List for London across Europe

This is according to the collective experience amongst my seniors as well as many posts on WSO and is particularly focused on BBIB/MBB. Tier 1 - Oxford, Cambridge Tier 1.25 - LSE Tier 1.5 - Imperial, Bocconi, Warwick, UCL Tier 2 - Durham, Edinburgh, Nottingham, KCL, RSM, HSG, SSE Tier 3 - Bath, Bristol, UCD, Trinity, WHU Tier 4 - Other Russell Group Universities + Mannheim, IE, ESSEC BBA, WU Vienna

T1-T1.5 = Target; T2 = Semi Target; T3 = Lesser Semi Target; T4 = Close to Non-Target

Is this comprehensive? Any corrections?

Edit : Added Manchester to the Russell group and replaced its tier 2 position with Nottingham, bumped RSM and HSG from Tier 3 to Tier 2, added UCD and Trinity to Tier 3, Added SSE and WHU and WU to the list, also gave a label for tiers

Drop Imperial to Tier 3 (they have a new bachelor that will take several years to arrive at a decent spot). RSM and HSG should be in tier 1.5. Drop UCL to tier 2.
