do share! How awesome is it ?

Note: this forum is not very lively... any more hopeful R2 applicants like me?
How long did it take in average for the R1 applicants out there to get interview invites? Do they wait for their deadline to send all invites, or do they come out before?

thanks!


I'm a hopeful R2 applicant :) Hoping the answer to your question is that they wait until the deadline to send invites so I don't have to stress until Feb 8....


I received my interview invite early morning (US eastern time) the day before the deadline, but I don't think that's a rule. You should assume no earlier than the deadline.

And - Lonely Planet guide to London + cool neoprene case/sleeve thing in the LBS colors! Something to look forward to :)

Hi,

I've been an alumni interviewer for London Business School for the past ten years. While you're waiting for the interview invitation, do prepare for it by reading the Economist, Financial Times, and other sources of international business news if you haven't already started doing so.

I try to bring out the best in the candidates, and ask them questions to assess cultural fit with the school, interest in London Business School, clarity of career goals, and questions regarding their work experience and accomplishments. Make sure you can clearly articulate why MBA and why London Business School. And be prepared to discuss opportunities and threats for businesses you've worked with.

Good luck to you!

Christine Lin

Did anyone else in the NYC area get the invite from Oliver Ashby to attend drinks with LBS admissions and alumni next week? I'm trying to gauge how vital it is to attend as I'm supposed to be traveling so I need to decide if I should cancel my trip :/ Anyone who knows anything, please share!!!!

Is this a sign that demand for MBA's is down YoY every school i've applied to seems to have a quieter message board. Well either that or people are bored of GMAT club!!

I am a hopefully R2er. Went to the insights evening and they really sold me the school. Sitting here with fingers and toes crossed until Feb 8th

I am an admit for MBA2015. And I would love to answer any questions you guys have here regarding the process, what to expect in interviews etc. Btw, the interview invites will be out on the mentioned date only, 3 PM GMT onwards. So no need to get worked up right now!

Just PM me or ask here, if you have any questions and we go from there. Look forward to meeting many of you in August in London.

Hello, jordanshl,
From just my curiosity, which school are you applying as you mentioned every school that you applied has a quieter board now?

Thank you in advance.

Hi All,

I am a round 2 applicant and have a question on support letters.

I know a current MBA student and approached him during my application process. I read on the internet that London Busines School invites feedback from its students.

I am not sure if its too late to send the feedback and will it impact my chances negatively?

I don't believe that sending anything to adcom 3 days before the decision is the right thing to do. IMHO the best thing you can do now is waiting.

I don't it would hurt you. Why would it? Actually, why don't you ask your friend his/her opinion on this!

Thank you! Yes, I asked him. He feels that its late to send anything to the adcom now. Support letters should be sent a few weeks after the application submission or if the candidate is wait listed. I think its better to wait for the decision.

Hi there!!! I am very surprised to see no activity here today! Has anybody received an invite to interview? Wasn't the decision date today? (Obviously I have not heard anything myself!)
