Imperial MSc RMFE vs MathFin

[Floatingoctopus]

I'm looking for some advice on the following...
I am from top US undergrad, applied maths BA with concentration in operations research and am excited to have an offer from Imperial's MSc RMFE program. Long story short, I didn't realize that there was a distinction between the two programs. However, it seems that the MathFin course has far better career prospects and reputation. I can apply to the MathFin program, but I would need to decline my RMFE offer.
What are my chances of getting into MathFin given my RMFE offer, and is it worth the risk, or will I be able to land trading/quant roles out of RMFE?

Yes, Imperial RMFE is from its business school with 3 times the enrollment of Math Finance program.
Admission to MathFin program is tougher as far as the requirements go. It's more mathematically rigorous and prepares you better for the quant roles.
Are you sure you have to decline the RMFE offer to apply for Math Fin as they are under two different departments?

Yes, I was told by admissions that I would need to give up RMFE for consideration for Math Fin.
My bachelor's degree is in applied math - would this give me a decent shot of Math Fin, given that I was accepted to RMFE?
Or does it not really matter, as in RMFE + applied math bachelor's is good enough for quant roles, especially if I take quantitative modules?
