Hi guys,

I am going to apply to LBS MiM as well. But I am not sure that my qualifications are met with LBS MiM's. Can you check it out?

Studying Economics (At a well-known university in Turkey and all the courses taught in English)
Going to finish 1 semester earlier(currently senior student)
GPA: 3,17 (ECON GPA: 3,24)
IELTS: 7,5
GMAT: Going to take it on 18th of October
Internships: 2 internships in the two best banks in Turkey, and they are very competitive I got chosen from hundreds of people and they only take 1 person and I got salary each month during my internships
EC Activities: I am a professional sailor and have many awards in races, also in the board of the sailing club of my university and I race frequently(every week)

Also my university gave me a scholarship on account of my academic success
I am in the dean's list for 4 semesters
My first year GPA is 2,8 but in the second and third years I had more than 3,3 in every semester
I have extracurricular activity awards from my university
I am a volunteer educator in some elementary schools and I gave math and English lessons to them
I am expert in excel and VBA
Fluent in English and intermediate in German

So what do you think? Is my GPA very low for LBS? If I get more than 670 in GMAT would it compensate the GPA score?

Thank you very much :)

thanks! well I interviewed last thursday and heard back on the wednesday the week after (so roughly 4-5 working days). But that's because I interviewed in London. Apparently it may take longer for people who aren't interviewing in London to hear back.

Hello!

I wish to apply for LBS-MiM 2013 Class.

Profile Evaluation please!!

Age 21/Indian

GMAT (Q47 V33 AWA5.5) - 650
Undergrads - First class (expected), economics from top 5 uni. in UK
school - high avg (90%) in both year 10/12 (Indian system)
decent extra curricular
work exp - worked with start-up for 3 months

What are my chances for LBS MiM if I apply for round 2?

Thanks!


Your GMAT is under the course average so that may reduce your odds a bit. Have you considered retaking the GMAT and aiming for a 700+? But even with a 650 ur profile still seems really solid. They really do seem to like people who are well rounded.

Anyone have any idea when they post 2011's placement report? MBA's report just got posted and its pretty amazing. I just hope that 2011's placement was as good as 2010's.

Currently working on my apps right now hoping to send it in before Jan 31 deadline, would be a bit tight since i'll have to study and take the gmat too! Seems like they get back to you about acceptance / rejection within a month. Pretty fast.

Cynix, gratz on your acceptance. Seems like a very solid profile. What do you plan on doing between now and LBS in sept?

Well I didn't get the interview notification until over a month after my application. U've got a pretty solid profile I'm sure you have a good chance of getting an interview so don't worry about it. To be honest I wasn't even expecting to get an interview and was quite surprised when they notified me.

Thanks fathippo! :D. Well I'm still in uni and it's my third year so quite busy with my course. I'm planning on doing an internship over the summer before the MiM (if I'm lucky). I've submitted a couple internship applications for consultancy and have been invited to an assessment center for a financial advisory internship.

Just so you know I submitted my application really2 early (October 2) and they didn't start reviewing applications until November 1. I got my interview notification on November 16 so give or take 2-3 weeks before you hear back about the interview

Yes I applied extremely early because I wanted to get it done before getting busy with uni (final year so really need to concentrate on getting stellar marks) + wanted to be able to put LBS MiM in my CV early for summer 2012 internship applications.

Well my undergraduate degree was in Biomedical Science and was very clinically-oriented (kind of a pre-med course), not so much practical. And so far my knowledge of business is very limited. I'm thinking by doing another internship over summer 2012 and doing the LBS MiM I can probably land a better job once I graduate, compared to if I were to enter the job market right away. I'm hoping to get into consulting which is super competitive so having a combination of Imperial + LBS should probably help. I'm thinking it'll be a good combination cause it shows I can do both science and business. Plus I haven't done much networking here at Imperial and the LBS MiM really seems to have a big focus on career development, which should help loads.

Working on my app - gonne apply end of Jan. Writing the gmat in 19 days, quite nervous.

My stats are quite average, so MiM will be a crapshoot for me.

3.3/4 gpa - finished in 2.5 years instead of 4. Had to finish ASAP since parents didnt give me a dime for tuition or living expense. Worked throughout university.
Worked 4 internship - 1 in local non-profit, 1 in global bank, 1 in global tech company, 1 in boutique IB
Started 2 companies that failed miserably - made me broke twice lol!
Obviously, usual school stuff - clubs, volunteering, etc

Sah, I think your GMAT is a bit on the low side - avg gmat for MiM is 700, quite a bit higher than your 650. Thought about retaking and updating your gmat mark to lbs?
