LSE MSc Financial Mathematics VS UCL MSc Computational Finance

I need to decide between these two options, what are your thoughts?
My goal is to become a quant analyst or quant researcher or maybe algo trader (but not sure the last one is for me).
LSE sounds more prestigious but it doesn’t appear on many rankings. UCL is 9th worldwide and 3rd quant finance MSc in the UK.

A bit of background on me: I already have an MSc in engineering specialized in computer science, data science and AI from a French Engineering school, and I worked as a Data Scientist in tech for a year, and did some entrepreneurship for two years after that.

Question about the “NAR” theory (MSc)

I saw that you can expect an offer after your documents flip to “No action required” on the application portal. But does it need to be all the documents? Mine only shows that for the “Submit further information” section (they did ask me for more information), the rest is still under “Awaiting action from LSE”.

PS: I applied 8 weeks ago today

Question about processing times when an additional document is requested

Hello! I applied to the Financial Mathematics MSc and they said I should expect a reply within 8 weeks.
However after 7 weeks they requested an addendum explaining my quantitative qualifications. I submitted it the next day but I have no idea if this will lengthen the processing time. Today is 8 weeks -2 days.
I couldn’t find any information regarding addendums being asked, or anyone from the admissions team I could contact for more information.
I am quite in a rush as I have a deposit deadline for another degree in a week.
Does anyone have any experience with that?
