Help me make a decision Uk edition

hello guys, to give u some context, my goal is to work in finance/consutling in London. I am not set onIB, I am more leaning towardsAM, Corp Banking or consulting. I am open to apply everywhere. I'll do a masters ineconomics/economics and finance depending on the university
Now I applied to these five universities
University of Warwick (its my #1 choice and I know its the best university to go to out of the 5 however I am just saying if I don't get accepted which is my second best option given the circumstances)

University of Bristol
Durham
Nottingham
University of Manchester (I am leaning towards Manchester because it has a high ranking but I keep seeing posts onWSOthats its not even a semi target at best. Is it only for Investment banking or for allFOroles including consulting?) If you were in my shoes which one would you choose ?

For us, in terms of # of people from these universities (just current-ish consultants, this isnotreflective of odds of offers as I don't know how many apply from each):

  1. Warwick
  2. Durham
  3. Bristol
  4. Nottingham (I came from that one, personally)
  5. Manchester

And I know we have campus events at Warwick, don't know about the others.

monkey0114, what's your opinion? Comment below:

For finance warwick is technically a "target" and bristol/durham/notts "semi-targets". For consulting generally Warwick and durham + maybe bristol are semi targets (BCG CV scoring指导了华威/加州大学l/durham/st.a's/edinburgh and i think maybe bristol + bath as tier 2 universities).

thanks for the reply, in warwick i have 2 options either a masters in economics or a masters in business and finance at WBS, do u think going for the econ masters will hurt my chances in recruiting or the Warwick brand is all the same for students. Because I find economics much more interesting than finance therefore i can get higher grades
