[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For any parents who have had kids attend and graduate from UK schools, can you comment on their experience getting summer internships, getting jobs upon graduation or applying to law/medschool back in the US? That is our concern about whether a UK degree is a good option, esp if looking a notch below oxbridge, LSE etc which likely have international and US recognition[/quote]

I’m the PP with 3 kids that went to the UK. Not going to comment on my 1st one since graduated from Oxford. But my second graduated from Bristol. He worked in Germany on a start-up for 3 years and is now in his 2nd year at a US Ivy (LAW). 
My St Andrews kid just graduated and is now at LSE for a masters degree.

Every top 50 school in the US knows the top 15 UK universities well. It is NOT just Oxbridge/LSE. My son who went to Bristol didnt have any problems getting accepted to US Law Schools. He applied to 6 and got in 5.

Summer internships depends on what you are studying and the program. Quite frankly, my St Andrews kid had the easiest time of the 3 getting 2 summer internships in the US. Maybe because of the sheer number of Americans graduating from StA, it made it easier for internships here. My Bristol kid had a great internship in the Bay Area, but he worked his butt off to get it. It was on him. My Oxford kid didnt have any internships.

My nephew studied biological sciences at UCL. Worked on a lab for 2 years in England before applying to US medical schools. He is currently a 4th year at a Top 10 Medical School.

If your kid attends ANY of the top 10-15 UK schools, every major US university knows and recognize their degrees for Law/MBA/Medschool.
