Hi guys and gals,
Wow, it's been almost a year and a half since I last logged in to this forum when I was also going through the painful process of applying for the MBA (saw a mention of GMAT Club, and this seemed like a more interesting diversion than work at 630am).
Good luck to everyone who is still in the race!
For myself, I'm a current LBS student, graduating soon. I found GMAT Club really useful for the application process - misery loves company =0
At that time, I had admits from LBS and Wharton, and had talked to many other people before coming to a decision.
If any admits or future applicants are considering options between schools and are considering LBS, I'd be glad to share more about my experience here, as well as what I've heard from those that have gone on exchange at the other likely target schools (Booth, Wharton, Columbia, Sloan, Haas, Kellogg - but please don't ask me to elaborate too much on them, since I didn't actually attend these other schools).
Also, while it seems really far away, the value of the MBA is primarily on the exit opportunities offered than the actual entry, so what my class-mates will be doing when they graduate should possibly be factored into the decision-making process as well.
All best!
hi jason²
thanks for the offer! If I'm ever in that situation, I'll definitely get to you
I already have a question though: IMO LBS is great for its proximity to the city and its job pool. Well, that was before...
The city is cutting jobs massively, and still expected to do so shortly
how do you feel as a future LBS grad ? have u found a job? what sector are you contemplating?
some feedback on that would be very interesting
thanks for your message anyway
cheers
