    Would e+m be better than e+f for getting into investment banking in a major city like London? Better rep? Also what are points like for e+m?
    UCD looks cooler (been there a couple of times) but I like the look of trinity as well. (Eh, don't judge me, but is there anyway snobbery towards lads up from the country?:))

    Once you do something quantitative like maths or economics, in one of UCD or Trinity, and you get straight A's, and you're an obnoxious asshole, you're in with a reasonable chance of ending up in investment banking in London.
