Which school to attend? Baruch, UCL or Warwick?
Hello, i am a high school senior from China and i got the offers from Baruch(currently general program, the result of honor program application has not yet announced), University College London (economics&statistics) and Warwick (Accounting & Finance).
I always want to pursue a career in financial industry(Investment Banking, Trading, PE, so i just want to get into a target school. I have no preference about the locations personally, both US and UK are ok to me. But i just want to know which choice will give me a greater chance to get into the big firms like Goldman in the office in HK or the local big firms in mainland China because i planned to get back to Asia instead of settling down in US or UK. I may stay in that country for few years but i will eventually go back to Asia
I know that Baruch is not internationally well known, but it has a perfect location, very strong reputation in NYC, and a very affordable tuition&fees. I plan to transfer to a better known school if i get into Baruch.
Thank you!!!!
I don't have great opinion about UK schools, but it's an astonishing insult to put UCL and Warwick in the same sentence as Baruch.
UCL > Warwick
UCL let everyone in these days. Its ranking drops every year, they expand too much... to the point where their own academic staff held a vote of no confidence...
And yet i would still recommend UCL out of the 3. Warwick is a better school (i personally would never live in Coventry though) but it's not known internationally.
Baruch is a semi target at best but you should be able to transfer to another school once you're there. In the UK this is pretty much not doable.
You are kidding, right? Warwick is not internationally known? Oxbridge, LSE, Imperial, Warwick are the best UK schools well known around the world. Anyone involved in Finance knows they are great business schools.
The G5 are the most well-known ones to be honest. St Andrews, Durham, Warwick might fare well in national leagues but outside Europe they are not as strong as G5 (Oxbridge, LSE, UCL and Imperial).
