Computer Science Undergraduate: Target Schools?

Hi,
I'm a high school student applying for CS at some universities in Europe. Most people only talk about target business schools, but I'm wondering which of these could give me the best chance at a quantitative trading role:

Bocconi - BSc Economics, Management and Computer Science
Warwick - BSc Computer Science
Edinburgh - BEng Computer Science
King's College - BSc Computer Science
St. Andrews - BSc Computer Science

What about the Grandes ecoles, i.e. Ecole Polytechnique?

It's hard to study there from outside of France, it says that you need 2+ years of undergraduate study to enroll.

you need to do what we call scientific Preparatory classes and get a top Eng school. but it's absolutely not something someone who is not french would be willing to do. it's the hardest shit ever and marks you for life.

The only other way to be a quant outside of studying in France is to do a PHD in physics/maths.
