<p>Does anyone know about how competitive admission, as a transfer student, to the London School of Economics would be? I'd really like to apply, but want to make sure it's slightly realistic. </p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>Also, I'm just starting my Freshman year, so I don't have "stats" just quite yet. Just wondering what I would shoot for if I wanted to apply there.</p>
<p>If you're not going to a top 10-20 school with great stats or a great hook I would think it would be very difficult since LSE is considered one of the top few schools in the UK. 'Course I could be wrong but I would imagine international admission to be pretty selective.</p>
<p>You are going to a CC, right?</p>
<p>It's almost impossible to transfer there from a CC since there are no such things as CCs in Europe. If you were going to a Top10 school, you may have a shot, but even then it would be really hard because the educational systems are totally different. Generally, there are no such things as "transfers" in Europe either ; )</p>
<p>Yea, CC. I don't have much of a "Hook" other than working for Morgan Stanley & A.G. Edwards previous to returning to college. </p>
<p>That does make sense, I figured that would be the case, but didn't want to make assumptions.</p>
<p>I was under the impression you had to start as a first year student in the UK. They dont really do things like we do. Though from what I understand it is a heavy numbers based admission game. Also LSE is unlike Oxbridge in that it does not have a reputation for refusing admissions to Americans in almost every case. So maybe?</p>
<p>According to their website, they do take transfers from US colleges. So I know it's possibly, just not sure if it's likely.</p>
