Re: Confused..!!
are there any published University / Program rankings that you can consult? Also, have you given any thought to the stream / concentration that you would like to pursue under Business? Even though it's early for that and you can make a decision may be next year, in a few cases esp. for accounting and finance related streams, it helps to know what the success rates of students has been in writing professional designation exams such as CA, CFA etc.
Next, do you have any friends or friends of friends that you can talk to who've been to these Universities?
Lastly, have you checked the alumni networks to see what types of jobs ppl have landed with after graduating from these programs... this can give you an indication of the types of opportunities that you may be able to avail and help you make a more informed decision.
I'm sorry that I'm answering your question with more questions... but selecting an undergraduate program is a lot about gathering answers to such questions. In the end, you need to be able to make a more informed decision. You've probably already done part of the work and that's why you applied to the specific list of schools that you ultimately did.

Thanks Brother for your help, I think I should go to open days to check out more about the universities where I have been accepted and meet education consultants there...!

Re: Confused..!!
The Times Online has some awesome information on universities. I know that it has a general ranking list, but it also has a ranking of top universities for specific subjects. I don’t know if you’ve had a look at it or not, but it really is worth checking out. Umar Talib gave you some good things to think about. But don’t forget, at the end of the day, it might not be that the university that offers most opportunities and has most advantages is necessarily more suited for you as a person. Going to open days is a great idea, to get a better feel of what each university is like and whether the courses at each university give you what you want. Goodluck choosing!
Re: Confused..!!
Building on what has already been mentioned, I would recommend checking the types of classes available, the career office, and also get an idea of the student body, that will help you make the decision.
Don't forget to consider how well you will fit in the school, any other personal considerations like family, friends being nearby, etc. Remember that the university experience is largely driven by you, so keep the qualitative factors in mind.
In terms of the UK schools, I am not familiar with the two you have mentioned. Based on my experience and interactions graduates from LSE + OxBridge seem to be well prepared for careers in Business.
