UPenn (CAS) or LSE for investment banking?

Hey everyone,

I'm currently an international student who has been accepted into UPenn (CAS) and have an offer from LSE for Economics. I'm currently trying to decide between the two universities and would definatley want a career working in an investment bank or something finance/business related.

I would like to work in Australia however, or somewhere in east asia like Hong Kong or Shanghai. Which university will give me better networking/set me up best in these places?

 

Upenn if you can get yourself into Wharton. Especially if you want to get on wall street. But if you want to work in London which I wouldn't than go ahead with LSE.

 

Both schools are great. Students of both schools are highly sought after by recruiters. It'll depend where you prefer to work.

It may be worth considering that American degrees are 4 year courses while British degrees are 3 years. The longer course would mean one more summer for another SA positions.
