I am a native Arabic speaker

Thank you for your reply, I am talking about undergraduate courses so LBS is not an option. I couldn't apply to LSE due to some problems. So my choice is between UCL and AUB, would you say UCL edges AUB in terms of recruiting since I have added advantage of speaking Arabic over other students at UCL?

Hi A,
both options are good because AUB is a target school in the Middle East. If you were to go London, I would rather think of LBS or LSE since they are even more prestigious than UCL.
Roughly 50% of my mentees are either coming from ME or want to move their. I have been working in Dubai for 2 years on my own and well connected there / have friends in all major consultancies.
If you need any help or advice, reach out.
Best,
André

Hi,
From a recruitment perspective I would say UCL - target school with a high international ranking
