Is Recruiting to London Banks as a U.S. Citizen Studying at a U.S. School Possible?

Hey guys,

I lived in London for a few years and really enjoyed life there compared to where I'm from in California or where I am studying in Boston, and was wondering if anybody knew how feasible it was to recruit for SA to a London investment bank?
