Advice needed from IB employees in regards to eligibility of UK universities into the investment banking world
Hey any help would be appreciated,
I am currently in a bit of a dilemma trying to decipher and decided my future university in the UK. I was made aware of the IB world during my senior year and have found quite a bit of interest in it. However it was too late as I had already applied for my 5 universities, I am wondering which of my choices makes a better impression on a big firm; it is between the university of manchester, the University of Glasgow, and the University of Leeds. I understand that these may not be targets for employers, but do they have a fair chance? which of them gives a better impression? I understand the university of manchester claims in their website graduates have gone on to work at Morgan Stanley, Barclay's etc... . However I don't really know the ratio of that as it may have been a single student.
Now I was also wondering if applying to a master's degree at a more prestigious university would be a better plan than getting into the IB world right after graduating from university?
Again I appreciated and clue that would shed some light on the issue.

The very simple answer is that it depends.
If you’re from a less represented background e.g black female then yep you have a chance
If you’re a white private educated male then it won’t happen. If this is you then you need a target or a very strong semi target and an insane profile.
agreed. if you're white private school male, take a gap year and reapply for targets and semi targets
not too sure how this works, i know there are specific diversity pipelines, as in separate applications/opportunities but are they also favoured in regular spring week applications? I'm doing a lot to build my CV and stand out when I apply this autumn and assumed that would be the only relevant thing. Although I am an LGBT male of south asian descent (british) so I doubt i qualify for that. From what my limited research (SEO london and other pre-U work ex) has yielded it tends to only really focus on females or black individuals. Though I could be wrong but to be safe I assume that I'll be treated the same as a straight white male. I'm state-grammar-school educated and from the North of the england if that is worth anything.
