Can I transfer to Cambridge after one year at another university?
I tried emailing them about this, but they never replied 
I'm most likely going to be studying philosophy at either
LSE (which actually does a different philosophy course) or
Edinburgh (normal philosophy V500)
I think I got rejected because my A/S grades were no where near good enough. However I really wish to study philosophy at Cambridge and would like to know if I can transfer there after one year (doing really well) at another university.
Or are there any other options, besides apply to do masters there?

What's so good about Philosophy at Cambridge? Or do you just like the idea of going to Cambridge? You could do a lot worse than LSE and Edinburgh!
i believe it is good because I visited there and really liked it =( and the people in cambridge all seem to be so much in love with it. i like the way the course is set too.

Well, yeah, Cambridge is great; but I bet you most students at Edinburgh are in love with the place too. Not so sure about LSE. Also, don't forget you'd be leaving a lot of new friends behind if you transferred after your first year, assuming that's possible.
I would say go with LSE or Edingburgh... they are excellent unis... I'm not sure about LSE but i know Edinburgh have a good philosophy faculty (they got 5* in the faculty assessment they did nation wide in 2001 i think)
if i get rejected from oxbridge, I may end up studying at Edinburgh. Whats your preference between LSE and Edinburgh at this stage?

my preference is LSE, because I like to be in london.
but not as much as cambridge. *sigh*
would LSE's philosophy course be good too? I really have no idea. I read the perspectus but I still have no clue.

didn't research LSE specifically for philosophy... they got a good RAE score though (5*)...

Obviously I have no idea, but you might find this interesting: http://www.qaa.ac.uk/reviews/reports/subjectlevel/q373_01_textonly.htm

No probs.
Notyourpunk was talking about being an affiliated student. Homerton's page describes it pretty well: http://www.homerton.cam.ac.uk/admissions/requirements/affiliated_students.html
You can't apply to become an affiliated student until you've finished your first BA somewhere else, and if that BA is from Cambridge you can't apply at all.

Apparently, I know someone who is doing Philosophy at LSE. He is not enjoying the course, since, according to him, the course is too "narrow". He was drawn to LSE purely on its reputation. He said in retrospect he would choose to do a "broader" philosophy course instead. Anyway, if Philosophy of Science and Logic are what you want to do, LSE is the place!!! But if a general philosophy course is what you are after, go to Edinburgh!!! Edinburgh does have a great philosophy department!
I second what many posters have already said. Cambridge is not the be-all and end-all of your philosophical training! It's a lovely university and all, but if you would be equally happy elsewhere I'd suggest you take the place up. Seriously, Edinburgh University is hardly lacking in prestige and reputation if that's your thing (David Hume anyone?) + general reputation. It's a fab place to study according to a few friends there, and not that different as a city (it's got culture, restaurants, pubs, clubs, bars just like London). Granted London and Edinburgh are two different cities but hey...
If you manage to get a 2.1/1st at Edinburgh/LSE that would certainly establish academic credentials for top jobs in whatever graduate job you wanted to take up, at least that's the impression I was under.
Really, it's your decision. If you really want to go to Cambridge, I suggest waiting until your A-Level results come out and then reapplying? Speak to Rushda (Adhsur) about that! If not, don't be unhappy, look forward to LSE/Edinburgh - I'm sure you'll love it.
PS I know next to nothing about the LSE course, since I avoided London like the plague so forgive the Edinburgh bias
