Thank you very much in advance

. LBS and MIT will probably give you your best shot at IB placement, with IE probably the least helpful there. As for Western vs. Asian programs, I agree that a globally well branded program such as LBS and MIT will probably trump Asian programs' placement at the Western banks. Feel free to send me your CV if you'd like additional feedback:
