[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Curious when you say employers outside the UK consider these universities the best.

Do you mean outside the UK and outside the US?

I doubt most US employers recognize anything beyond Oxford/Cambridge.  Maybe they know London School of Economics or St Andrews.[/quote]

I’m the PP, not the OP. But I agree with the OP that in the US those 6 schools are well recognized. You are wrong, most Large US employees know all these 6 schools plus LSE as mentioned by the OP. It is not just an Oxbridge world. [/quote]

Where?  It’s not like you see many applicants at all that attend college overseas.

I am involved in recruiting for a large bank and we barely see any non-US college applicants for US-based positions.  I can’t remember ever seeing one for Imperial or UCL.

I can’t comment for our London and other foreign operations.[/quote]

That was not what the comment was about. There is a very small number of US kids graduating from these UK business schools and coming back to US Large Banks…. The comment the other poster made was that nobody knows anything other than Oxbridge in the US and this is clearly not the case. Are you telling me as someone involved in Recruiting for a large bank that you dont know what UCL or Imperial is….this was the point…not whether you see lots of them applying for those jobs.
