Reapplying to Oxbridge while being in LSE

So I got an offer from LSE but rejected from Oxbridge last year. Is it possible to accept an offer at LSE this year and reapply to Oxford(specifically) this year? (Since I heard Oxford normally does not accept people who’s already attending UK unis)

Also, if I attend Uni from other country and reapply to LSE again this year, will it lower my chance of being accepted since I already rejected the offer?

Yep, Oxbridge really don't accept transfers so you can't do that.

If you were to go to university abroad and reapply to LSE, your previous application shouldn't be held against you, but LSE is also very competitive so there's no guarantee you'd be given another offer.

Unless you have some major problem with LSE, I think your best course of action is to accept this offer and go. It's a good university and it has good international standing, if you wish to work abroad in the future.

As above, you can either accept LSE and go there there with a positive mind-set, or drop your entire UCAS application and reapply next year. But you still might not get an offer for Oxford, or another from LSE.

Oxford will still be there for postgraduate.
