Hello, I'm currently entering undergraduate university next year in the UK to study a maths related subject. I am waiting on offers, but I was wondering if Warwick/UCL as universities would provide a realistic chance for entering Quant Finance, for trading. Scouting LinkedIN has shown that at most prop shops in the UK, almost all people came from Oxbridge/Imperial. I was wondering if people who work in the industry, could comment on the chances of entering quant finance coming from either Warwick or UCL. Another question I had is if I were to go to one of these universities, would a masters at a target like Oxbridge and Imperial improve my chances? I'm waiting on offers so I am unsure if I will get Imperial, but still wish to keep my options open and have a realistic view.
