Penn is in the next tier down from the top US schools (HYPSMC). Both have undergrad and grad programs that place extremely well into finance, arguably as well as the schools that are more "prestigious". Penn might have the occasional program that is super elite, as might LSE. As an overall university, Penn is not in the top 5 in the US for undergraduate or graduate study, and LSE is not among the top 2.

But factoring the fact elite UK institutions generally suck more relative to the US, LSE is more equivalent to something like Emory or Georgetown.
LSE has a lot of sharp undergrads and PhD students, but they suck for most things. If we take the median student at LSE UG, they're more similar to the students you'd find at Georgetown/Emory/WUSTL. If we're taking one-and-done masters students (minus anything commerce related), quality takes a major dip, and would probably be comparable intelligence-wise to UC-San Diego or WashU--meaning, there are a few really sharp people, but the median student is rather pedestrian.
Undergrad finance/business kids are sharp, probably a slight notch below Wharton. Business school is top-10 material. Not HSW level, but similar to Columbia and Tuck. |
