<p>@Dionysus58 Durham is much easier to get into that Oxbridge and prob also LSE. From experience, virtually all my friends who didn’t get into Oxbridge went to Durham. LSE is crazy competitive as they take so many internationals as they get so much more money from them - many people get into Oxbridge but then rejected from LSE.</p>
<p>Somehow I have a feeling, that they, even if barely, but survived that rejection 
But that’s true, Durham, along with St.Andrews is one of the “Oxbridge rejected” universities. Which is, despite the irritating title, not necessary bad, since it means that many bright people goes there.</p>
<p>Adam - I’m assuming you have the right to work in the UK??</p>
<p>Post-graduation or during uni?</p>
<p>post-graduation. The UK is drafting a very tight immigration policy, and thinking of wiping out their post-study work visas I think. But I dont think you would have a problem since you plan to apply to American firms in the UK, and you US citizenship would be a plus since they could transfer you to any office you want if you do not get a work visa. </p>
<p>As, I said your plan looks good except you are going to face competition from JDs too.However, the fact that you schooled in the UK would give you considerable advantage.</p>
<p>^^^^</p>
<p>That’s my exact logic.</p>
