Rank these universities (undergrad) prestige and reputation for employer reputation?

For undergraduate moving into investment banks, private equities and venture capitals.
LSE, Imperial, UPenn and Columbia.

This is generally and WORLDWIDE rep

 

Just so you know this board generally hates questions like this, but here is my opinion (the fact that this is an opinionated answer cannot be stressed enough)

For worldwide: LSE Columbia Upenn Imperial

For US: Columbia (just because being in NYC and OCR, as well as being able to do part-time internships) LSE/UPenn (again only for OCR) Imperial

UK: LSE Imperial Columbia Upenn

 

First off, who cares about "WORLDWIDE" reputation? Schools like UTexas prove that only regional reputation matters. Who gives a fuck about "prestige"? The only thing that matters is quality of OCR and alumni network.

For US: Wharton>Columbia>Upenn-CAS>LSE>Imperial.

EDIT: Just read your other post, and saw that you're a 2nd year at Oxford. You should just get a job at an American BB's London office, and then do an internal transfer. If you can't or don't want to wait that long, then go for MSF programs from MIT/Princeton.

Calling Ron Paul an isolationist is like calling your neighbor a hermit because he doesn't come over to your property and break your windows.
