Thoughts for US students on attending LSE? Currently in HS, and wanted to know whether attending LSE is beneficial for oversea markets. (Working in London, then transferring back to New York).
Thank you!

why not Columbia/CBS and then directly New York Office
This would be as an undergrad, don't know if this changes anything.
If you really want to work in London first, LSE is the best school for that in Europe.
So as a high schooler in the US, going to LSE gives a higher percentage acceptance rate towards over sea offices, then transfer back to the us after some years? Is this a solid route for my career or should I stay completely state side?
Just checked the US student requirements for LSE, let's just say my dreams are crushed... Hoping to transfer there or a study abroad year. My Hardworking self starts now!
Undergrad LSE as an American!!! (Originally Posted: 01/31/2016)
I don't think it would matter too much that you don't have a econ degree. Try contacting lse grads in Ibanking and ask what course they took. Good luck!
