In Reply To: I just felt that it's perhaps a bit unfair to rank LSE and Imperial alongside the Oxbridge Universities as those two are specialist colleges whereas the other two are universities. Before you think that im just moaning that my college (LSE) is ranked lower,note that iwas offered places at Cambridge,LSE and Imperial and i chose LSE cos it seemed to suit what i wanted to do best. Given that, if you have to rank them,its probably better to do so by subject eg.. id say LSE was tops for Econs, Cambridge for pure sciences, Imperial for Engineering, etc. cos in a holistic ranking the two colleges lose out because of the range of academic options on offer.
Message: How exactly did you get offered from Imperial and LSE? They specilise in different areas!! Imperial grads tend to be the most technically impressive i have come across by the was, LSE more like Oxbrige wannabies, or i-banker wannabies.
