LBS vs Said vs CJBS

Admissions

Received admits for LBS (sticker), Oxford Said (£20k scholarship), and CJBS (£10k). And now freaking out over the decision. My goals are London MBB consulting, although considering finance or high paying corporate mgmt roles.

With those scholarships LBS is nearly double course fees and it’s longer program + London living costs. Right now it feels like paying double for no guarantee on MBB placement wouldnt be the right call. I’d likely have to go into debt for LBS and the cheaper Said and CJBS fees mean I do keep some safety for future financial decisions (home, wedding).

Annoying, hard to answer open question, but is LBS really worth that premium for employers in London? Or does Said get my foot in the door?
