I'm an idiot and I made a bad choice last year. Help me get on the right track.
Last year I chose to leave my US LAC and go to UCL in the UK for Management Science. I think I made a mistake.
So now I'm applying for reinstatement at my semi-target LAC and I just want to know how stupid I am and if I am doing the right thing in your opinions.
My LAC will have good networking opportunities I think despite its size. I just have to take advantage of them. I'd also be on a team (if I can get that back), which might help with recruiters or alumni connections. I might be bored or isolated there.
I have had nothing over the past year in the UK. No spring weeks, no internships, nothing special. I did some stuff with some kind of student paper, and I was an academic rep, both of which I know mean nothing. I originally chose to come here for the "experience" but in terms of academics and career this hasn't been working out. And that "experience" has been okay, but it isn't what I thought it would be.
So, am I doing the right thing and how dumb am I?
Why did you transfer to UCL in the first place? What do you mean by you went there for the experience?
Also how is your resume looking right now?
I know I made the choice for the wrong reason, but I was hoping to travel and work abroad, meet new people and such. That was "the experience". I left the LAC because of the frat scene of which I wasn't a part and because I was bored, which were the wrong reasons to leave--I could have been more involved.

lmao
you were smart enough to get into both schools. You will be fine. Just network hard and land good internships and UCL shouldn't be a handicap at all. If several dozen people from nontargets can land FO roles each year, you can too from your seat.
Changing geographies will not solve your problems if they are internal.
I am confused. Where did you apply?
at least in London, you can definitely get good interviews at BBs/EBs from UCL, no questions. It equals Imperial, Warwick in terms of opps
