LBS 2012 - Calling All Applicants

Where are you guys based (the ones who received the call about English testing)? And did you complete your undergrad at an English-speaking institution?

Sounds like really good news for you guys.!

Hi enkie, I'm based in China and had my under-grad degree here (non-english speaking) fyi.

I suppose you've waived the TOEFL/IELTS test, right?

Ah ok makes sense. Good luck to you! Hope it's good news on Friday.

I did my undergrad and grad degree in the US, so I didn't need to submit TOEFL or proof of English language ability.

Hey guys - the LBS website says MBA admissions decisions are sent on 12/15 not 12/16. You can look if you go to the "applying" link then the "important dates" dropdown.

Ahhhhh no movement? INSEAD (has the same decision release date i think) has already started calling candidates.

I can't focus at work today, tomorrow, Friday until I KNOW.

You know, why even torture prisoners? Just make them apply to MBA and dont tell them if they get in or not. That is the worst torture.

Enkie believe me or not I'm checking this page regularly to see if you've got your decision you're almost there! by the way you've got your Oxford offer. What would you prefer if you get to LBS Oxford and Insead alltogether?

p.s. just having a chat with another applicant to LBS MiF and he said a very encouraging thing: they need to keep gender balance in the school so you'll be in. Fingers crossed!!!

Oh god Laman, don't get my hopes up like that. So dangerous to dream of happiness right now.

I think if something miraculous like that happened, I would probably have to sit down with a few best friends who know me and my career well (and where i want to go) as well as my family to do a big pros & cons session. Financials would probably play a fair bit into the decision -- especially since my focus is entrepreneurship, and not typical job placement like consulting/finance. etc. (like if my goal was to get into consulting, then i would go by which school has the best consulting job placement with the top firms -- entrepreneurship wouldnt work the same way...)

Short answer, I DONT KNOW!!!!!!

Someone said before (on this thread) that they historically release decisions the day before the official decision day.

So that's today. Do we still believe that hypothesis?

No I think we will find out tomorrow. Because its already well into afternoon time in the UK.

It's still 1pm in the UK, so it's either late afternoon or tomorrow morning. Interview invites were sent in the morning

I checked last year's thread and noted that decisions were released after 8pm UK time on December 15

Dude, you already got into Booth. WHy care about LBS? Go celebrate!

I have been secretly reading this forum, but this is my first post...I am an R1 application to Full-time MBA at LBS....yes, i also really cant work now...need to know yes/no asap...

I think I have a strong profile but I had a very average interview, so i am not very optimistic.

let's keep the heat on..and try to sleep tight tonight

Welcome and good luck to you! We'll sit on pins and needles together.

In @ LBS MBA round 1!!! Say hello to all of you from China, and wish all candidates fulfill their dreams!

Just got admitted!!! (via e-mail just now)
