Oxbridge good enough or should I transfer to HYP

Not a troll post —

Currently a first-year in the UK. I come from a "flyover" state and my ultimate goal is to become a populist senator (think Ben Sasse, Tom Cotton, Hawley and the like). Harvard/Yale seems to be the common school. Should I transfer (assuming I receive first class honors prediction after first year qualification exams)? Will my UK education be a blemish? Thanks.

I don't think where a candidate has gone to school has ever mattered, populist or not.

 

Yeah just go to HYP.

Probably troll, but if there’s a slim chance this is legit, just apply to transfer to HYP. Their transfer chances are SUPER low, so you won’t even have a decision to make most likely. If you get in, then come back here.
