I'm a rising sophomore at a non-target and I'm currently debating whether or not to study abroad at LSE my entire junior year (have to decide by October). I aim to break into IB and was conflicted over whether or not to do the program. I have an almost guaranteed spot but I have concerns over how it would affect my junior internship recruiting as I'm based in the U.S. Any comments and/or advice would be helpful. Thanks!

Isn’t most recruiting for 2024 already wrapped up?
Haha no I'm talking about 2025 recruiting I know its way in advance but I just need to make a decision on LSE soon
most banks recruit before JR yr. the only thing to be “concerned” about is if your LSE finals fall during your training/first weeks of your junior summer internship.
Depending on the situation, LSE may let you take the finals remotely in the US (I know people who did this). It depends whether your university in the US is ok with that
I highly recommend the program! I don’t think anyone in my cohort regretted doing it and so many people from it work in IB now all around the world (but most in nyc). You learn a lot studying abroad and you’ll stand out to future employers because LSE is a top school and you’ll have experienced living in a different country
Thank you!
