Hey congrats Gautier! LSE Finance newly admitted here as well

From what I researched before applying, the only difference between fpe and fin is one PE module, which no one but fpe students can sit in. The difference seemed and still seems very trivial to me. My friend who’s about to finish the fin course said they’re pretty much in a cohort with fpe students.
I would actually recommend you to stay in Finance class if you want to join IB upon graduation. Fpe isn’t considered a more elite class but a dedicated version, as the admission rate of fin is even slightly lower than fpe... Also, applying with fpe on cv seems a strong signal to the employers that you might be looking for PE positions while apply for IB only as a backup. If you decide to do an MBA before joining PE in the future, why not include the PE elements during your MBA study?
Hope this helps! Cheers mate. Look forward to meeting you this fall on campus
