UCL or Warwick for Bsc.Econ
I am an International student and I want to break into investment banking. I got rejected from LSE but was accepted to Warwick and St. Andrews, and I am still waiting to hear from UCL. I've heard both UCL and Warwick are sort of target schools with very similar rankings, and I would not know which one to choose if I get admitted to UCL. No other factors involved, which one should I choose career-wise?

Hi, they are very similar in terms of reputation for investment banking careers. UCL has slightly higher placements, but this is likely because they are located in London which means that students can more easily attend networking events, insight days etc., whereas Warwick is around an hour or so away by train. So, you have to ask yourself the question - would you rather live on a campus in the Midlands or in the middle of London?
