Just got accepted by LSE's BSc Philosophy program.
I'm a freshman at a non-target LAC (ex. Swarthmore, Vassar, Haverford, Carleton, etc.) receiving near-full financial aid, but decided to try applying to both UK and US targets. Still waiting for US results.
I will be entering LSE as a freshman again. Would it be worth it to pay full price for LSE and start over as a freshman, just to get an IB job?

Just to get an IB job, no, to get a successful career and network, yes.
Note though that you won’t be able to recruit for the US (IB at least from LSE) - did a long post a while ago about it.
could you share the link?
I see. but would the LAC provide “inferior” network?
I don’t know too much about LACs in the US, but LSE is one of, if not the best network in finance and large corporates. LSE is the equivalent of Warthon in Europe.Anyone will know LSE
