<p>If you attend a school like LSE or Oxbridge, and maintain a good grade (like first class honour), would you have chance in transferring to Ivy League level universities? </p>
<p>Or would it be much easier to transfer from an 'ordinary US university'?</p>
<p>given the significant differences in higher ed systems, i doubt so</p>
<p>besides if u're in oxbridge why would you wanna transfer?</p>
<p>^good question</p>
<p>Well, of course if you are in Oxbridge you wouldn't. But in case of LSE, some might want to (e.g. suddenly want to study science, want to work in America in the future, etc). I wanted some idea, whether what kind of level would be required. </p>
<p>Another question, if you are studying law in UK, when you transfer would you be transferring to a college or graduate school?</p>
<p>well if u're in LSE law, you can try for the LLB/JD dual degree program with Columbia....only 2-3 gets places each year so its quite competitive</p>
<p>you question about transferring to a Juris Doctor program in the US is of particular interest and import to me as well....anyone could clarify our doubts?</p>
<p>How good are the job prospects in the US after an Oxbridge degree? Are they regarded as much as a Harvard degree lets say?</p>
<p>besides if u're in oxbridge why would you wanna transfer?</p>
<p>to study liberal arts [:)]</p>
<p>Yes, you can transfer (if financial aid is an issue you should check with each individual college whether or not they support international transfers). If you want to transfer to an undergraduate college you would have to transfer after your first or second year of study. If you want to attend an American grad school, you should work towards a Bachelor's degree in the UK and apply to grad schools in the winter before you get your degree (so that you have your Bachelor's degree by the time you would enroll in grad school in the fall) </p>
<p>If you want to work in the US, an undergrad degree from an American college is not going to help you a whole lot because you won't get a working visa straight out of college (college refers to undergrad; you won't have those visa issues with a graduate degree). Better options: get a Bachelor's degree from the UK, go to grad school in the US and apply for a job; or get a degree from the UK, start working in the UK and then apply for jobs overseas.</p>
<p>Nothing against the Ivies, but if you've already managed to get into Oxbridge I don't think you would be looking to transfer to an Ivy in the US. I know that Cambridge does have a formal program with MIT though where undergraduate students (from MIT or Cambridge) can spend one year of their degree at the other school.</p>

<p>At the very least it would be the same, although in many cases even better (considering if you're an American who studied abroad) as international experience and connections are considered especially important for many positions these days.</p>
