Warwick PPE vs LSE Politics and Economics
I've received an offer to study PPE at Warwick and am waiting on LSE for Pol and Econ + Durham for PPE. If I got Durham I wouldn't go anyway because Warwick is better, but I'm not sure what to do if I get LSE (simply because the course is Pol and Econ, not PPE) so I'm not sure it's regarded as highly. I hope to go into finance or IB so was wondering what would be the best route to take (assuming I got LSE)?

LSE will have much more experience accoundation and likely long commutes after 1st year. Both are likely to be well regarded by employers.

If you’re aiming for finance or IB, I think both Warwick PPE and LSE Pol & Econ can work.
In practice, the course title matters less than your grades, internships, and networking.
Warwick PPE gives you flexibility. Many students focus mainly on economics and still apply for finance roles. From what I’ve seen, Warwick has a strong track record for IB and related careers

I’m panicking

Nope, but I wouldn't worry about it too much I know many who haven't heard back yet but still have a very competitive application
