Sure! They asked me if I was still interested about two weeks ago and I received the offer on Wednesday afternoon.

I applied to Imperial RMFE, Oxford MCF, UCL Computational Finance, and LSE Financial Mathematics.
Out of these universities, the LSE program and Oxford program are probably the most well known, then probably MathFin and RMFE at Imperial, and last UCL.
I think LSE and Oxford are the only ones on par (recognition-wise) with the top American programs.
Unfortunately, I don't know if there are any other programs in the UK that are as well known, although I've heard MSMF at Warwick has an excellent reputation in addition to the programs stated above, but probably not on the level of top American programs.

IC MF and Oxford MCF are the UK's only 2 prestigious quant programs. All other programs are not that quant or not as prestigious as top American quant programs.

I think you are right. I was pretty sure I'd go to RMFE but read up more about it and ended up going to ETH for my master's degree instead.

LSE Financial Mathematics is also fine I would say.

The quant in ETH is also one of the best choices, RMFE is not comparable to your program. Congrats!

I heard that people at ETH have a hard time getting quant jobs in London. Do you agree?

LSE Financial Mathematics is also fine I would say.

As someone quoted before, LSE's reputation is built in the IB industry, and it certainly is not replicated in quant. Only those 2 programs are in tier 0. In the quant industry, MCF is even <= ICMF these years..

Thank you! I'm pretty happy with the choice
