I'm planning to be at St. Andrews's first year and third year, then W&M second year and 4th year.

Can't comment on W&M, but St Andrews is (surprisingly) pretty much a non-target for London. Probably too small a university to have a decent alumni network and obviously very remote. I think it's half-known in the U.S. because of the Royals, but not sure it would confer you much of an advantage in recruiting compared to a proper UK target (LSE, Imperial, Oxford, Cambridge, UCL, probably better known that Warwick in America though). I'm not really sure you'd benefit that much from it re. recruitment, but the workload is minimal and people do seem to enjoy it there (if posh kids being isolated in a small town without a train station but with golf and a beach is your thing). 

Would imagine the switch could be pretty tough with internship recruiting (especially for the U.S., where OCR and networking matters more). If you're going to do it it would make sense to have 2/3 at W&M so you can access OCR - you could still apply online for London roles. 

 

I actually got into this program when I was  applying to college and didn’t accept it.
 

However, I have a good friend a year older who did & to my knowledge, you’d have to be in the Econ side to have a shot and no one from his year I believe is in IB
 

On the other end of that, W&L I don’t think has particularly good placement and moving around/not being able to get good leadership positions in clubs and network was one reason I didn’t chose the program.
