LSE BSc Philosophy?

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?
