Any one applied in R4?



I did. (*keeping fingers crossed*).
I have a lower than average GMAT score but otherwise a great application (so say my recommenders and mentors).
I am praying for at least an interview call and get a fighting chance.

Yep, waiting for a decision here too - Round 3 applicant. Interview was just fine - one of the best I've had I think, despite being the longest by far! We're a week away from decision date and this is when anxiety peaks! Lets see what happens :) Phew, it's been quite a process.

how long did yours last? I had a 2 hour meeting booked, but probably last 45 mins only!

I thought it went fairly well but i was a bit concerned how quickly it went. From my only experience interviewing candidates I know its not usually a good sign

Dont dig too much into it. Maybe you managed to showcase all the qualities they were looking for within 45 mins!

Mine was alright too. The alumnus was kind enough to invite me to the local alumni dinner she was hosting the next day. Got a chance to meet some great people.

To be honest, I think towards the last rounds it becomes largely a play of nationality and industry-background. I mean, to ensure diversity, they have to look back at their selected candidate pool from R1 and R2 and accordingly balance it out with the R3 pool.

The wait is surely painful..

@Kohsamed - I had a similar interview experience. Though I didn't have a 2 hours slot booked upfront, but after reading other interview debriefs I was hoping it would go on for at least 1.5-2 hours. My first impression is that it went pretty well tough it lasted for only around an hour. I did come across such successful/unsuccessful experiences from the previous threads. I have analysed (over analysed) what it could mean, but the fact is that we'll only know next week.

Though not very common, its not rare to have a 1 hour interview either.

Does anyone has any info about total numbers of students, who accepted the LBS offer, for MBA starting from Aug 2013?
Last year, class size was 403.

Have you been in contact with adcom about the decision?

sounds stupid but i was considering making it clear that if i get an offer, I'm there..!

I know they are often concerned about their yield rates etc

Out of curiosity how is everyone arranging tuition fees. Anyone from the US applying for loans. I'd like to know what options we have to procure loan from the US to study abroad.

Nope, Singapore! A whole 7 hours ahead of BST. The interview invites came around 5 PM BST so I'm guessing they'll do the same with the admit decisions.

Goodluck to everyone who's waiting to hear from LBS today. I will surely need some serious alcohol, one way or the other. I'm just concerned about the hangover. An admit will def make the hangover sweeter.
