Manchester vs Exeter vs Loughborough vs Bayes/Cass ?

Hello, first time posting here. 

I'm a senior in a french high school, i'm predicted 16/20 for the french bac, equivalent A-levels is AAA. I have a british, french and american passport. I applied to UCAS received offers from Exeter (Bsc finance AAB), loughborough (Biz econ and finance AAA), Manchester (Econ and finance AAA) and Bayes/Cass (Bsc finance AAA), Kings didn't want me...

In France, I applied to Dauphine, Sorbonne, Assas (i'm not doing a prepa for the Essec, Escp, Hec)

I know that I don't have Oxbridge or any targets. I would like to work in M&A or Asset management preferably in US or France since I have the passports and think I will have more opportunities in europe because of brexit (i could be wrong). 

So my questions are : 

1) What is the rank in order of the offers that I have in the UK (1>2>3>4) for breaking in M&A or AM ? Once again I know it's going to be extremely hard but I would like to know how I can maximise my chances.

2) My father thinks I should start my career in the US, which uni in the uk that I have is the best option for a master in the US ? and is the masters in US worth it ?

3) Should I do a placement year if I go to one of these unis ? 

4) French or UK university as an undergraduate ? 

Thanks for reading.

 

Hi I'm at a UK semi-target (Nottingham/Manchester Met) studying BSc Psychology. Currently on track for a third class - wondering if you had any advice on how I can break into BB IBD/MF PE/Red Pill YouTube videos? Thanks in advance and remember to do the hard work especially when you don't feel like it

 

Honestly depends on how strong ur cv is. I know kids that have gotten MF seats with weaker CVs (Bangkok University mandatory MSc/forced MSci Mathematics/Shoplifting) but more than made up for it with relevant experience (Eating 6 eggs a day/avoiding processed bread/hill sprints)

Hey, if you want to work in the US, a US degree is key. Doing a master will greatly help you there although most only have a bachelor in the US. Out of the four would pick first Manchester then Exeter then Cass the Loughborough. A placement year helps greatly to find a job so would recommend in front of an exchange. Whatever can give you an edge you should take it. For France, though go to Dauphine; you will find it tough to find a job with a non-french degree, not impossible but much harder. Good luck
