Cambridge Tech Policy vs. LSE MiM

Hi all, final year student here interested in IB/buyside roles. Unfortunately the msf application hasn't gone too well and now I'm only left with these two offers. 


Background: Target school non-finance, had relevant experiences in the field, will join summer internship in IBD upon graduation.

Mainly want to go for another round of summer/off-cycle recruiting and hopefully end up at top firms/groups. 


Below are my reasons/concerns for both programs.

Cambridge 

  • Brand name

  • Course within business school so I get to choose finance related electives

  • Most alumni went into consulting/public sector, don't think I've seen any exit in finance so far from this program

  • Course title is more or less irrelevant to finance, given I didn't do a business degree in the first place might be a downside


LSE

  • Better chance to network in London

  • Have seen previous placement in IBD/buyside, although mostly consulting


Alternatively could go full time IBD if I get a return offer (fingers crossed lol)


Thanks for reading and any tips/advice will be greatly appreciated :)
