LSE application: my course pick for breaking into IBD

Monkeys,
I'm studying for the GMAT and my score will be decisive for get into an LSE program.
I can choice 2 course at the beginning.
My best choices are (in order):
Finance and PE
Accounting & Finance
Management
Economics and Management
Quantitative methods for risk management
Management and strategy
Risk and finance
Economics
Economic History
International Political Economy
Economic Risk e Society
Political Economy Of Europe

The last ones have highest acceptance rate (A&F roughly 14)
LSE is my first choice than other business school.

The LSE brand will of course be consistent across all courses and most are related (to varying extents) to finance roles. It'd be fair to assume that the university brand is the most important part of going to LSE. In terms of picking the course, I think it is a good idea to prioritise those that 1) will actually be useful for your chosen career path (these will be the first two on the the top of your list if you want to go into finance) and then 2) you will enjoy and excel at (could be any of the others). For IB, I think any of the accounting, finance, economics or management courses would suffice for your top two picks. The economic history and politics ones would be less useful and relevant but would still make good third and fourth choice picks (tbf they'd probably be good enough to land IB jobs anyway). Good luck.
