Investment Banking Rankings?

What do you guys make of this list?

http://news.efinancialcareers.com/gulf-en/203261/the-best-uk-schools-for-working-in-finance/

1) London Business School
2) Cass Business School
3) Cranfileld Business School
4) University of Warwick - Warwick Business School
5) University of Oxford - Said Business School

Would you really consider schools such as LBS and Cass to be better options than Cambridge (which ranks 7th) & Oxford, with regards to breaking into banking, in terms of a masters degree?

Also, how useful is an MBA in advancing a career?

LBS (for MBAs. Would pick a Masters at Oxbridge over LBS though).
Oxbridge
WBS
Cass/Manc
The rest

Some of these eFC rankings are done on spurious data, like what % of the MBA cohort from those unis has a job in finance within 3 months of graduating or something else contrived like that - which doesnt have sufficient bearing on how reputable the institution actually is.

Good answer. I would even reduce that list to:

1.

Oxbridge and LBS.

2.

WBS (purely because of their year on year investments in the school/marketing etc)

3.

Huge huge gap - in terms of international outreach

4.

The rest.
