London School of Economics - LSE reputation?

How is LSE regarded by the IB community in America? I've heard many different opinions. Some say that LSE isn't a target uni at all in the US but some say it will still be useful. Do many LSE graduates work on Wall Street?

Thanks

LSE = LONDON (hint hint) school of economics....

while we're at college geography can anyone please tell me where UCLA and UCSD are? I have a feeling they're somewhere near Los Angeles and San Diego, respectively but I just wanted to make sure.
