Undergrad university and course

I'm an international student (India) , looking to break into IB after undergraduate. I'm looking for genuine advice for course and university prospects. I am considering LSE, Warwick, and Oxbridge(if I get in), how are the recruitment prospects there? and what course( In which uni)  would help me get my foot in the door at least. I've heard that mathematics program at LSE is shit, only their economics is good, and how is MORSE for Warwick. any other suggestions are welcomed too, [universities in USA, are a bit too expensive and getting admission is too holistic there(I have minimal EC), but target colleges there would be appreciated too.] 

stats;- 1500+ sat, grades expected (95+in everything,) EC meh, essays, I am a pretty good writer. but my family is not wealthy so, I'll have to take a loan or financial aid. 

don't shit on me gurus,

The reality is, if you get into a top UK undergrad, you’ll have a good chance at IB. Until you get some acceptances, I wouldn’t worry too much about how a specific program at at one top Uni is as good as another. 

I suggest applying to all the schools you mentioned and once you get in, make a post on the pros/cons of each. To opine on programs you haven’t even been accepted at is a bit premature.
