Lol as far as I'm concerned international students are at an advantage because most british universities prefer them as they pay much higher fees than domestic students. At least it's true for LSE.

He's right. Plus, where there is a limit on the number of domestic students to be enrolled in any course, there is no set limit for international students by law. So if you're not a national of the UK, you have an upper hand in Clearing and Adjustment.

That is correct, they really prefer students abroad before any local students. But just launch your application, who knows
