University and course choice help!
Hey! I’m Gio, and currently in Year 12 studying Math, Further Math, Physics and Philosophy. Just for reference I got all 9’s in eleven subjects at GCSE.
I’m tryna become a quant, probably an analyst / trader over the others. I was wondering what courses and unis offer the best opportunities for quant places and internships? I originally thought LSE, but after some research it seems Cambridge and Imperial are much better? I also thought just a bachelor’s would be sufficient but it seems a masters is much better? I was looking at the Econometrics course at LSE and I thought ‘oh this seems perfect’ but it seems I may be wrong so, any help would be greatly appreciated!! I’m looking to do some mathematical / statistical course I think. Thank you!

The universities you have listed are all good, LSE + Oxbridge are the top targets. Most quants I know have a Masters, but I've for sure seen people land internships and return offers from Jane Street at undergrad.
Course choice is not as important as it may seem, but a Maths-oriented course will always be optimal.
