London Business School MiF R3

Indian engineer (Non-IIT), Mutual Fund advisor - 1 year, Equity Research - 3 years (By June 2010), CFA L1 cleared, GMAT 750 (Q51, V40).. Could you lemme know your profile too? Thanks..

Sure:

US
Male
5.5 years of private equity
1.5 years trying to start my own business
680 GMAT

A lil worried about my profile. Guess my experience is on the lower side given the large number of Indian applicants. Any idea about the number of open positions in R3?

You got a high GMAT score. You must be pretty stoked. I don't know anybody else that applied round 3 but I don't know a whole lot of people who may have applied.

Happy with my GMAT score.. but the volume of aplicants is pretty high from India.. Have u applied to any other schools? Got any other admits?

Also applied in R3, counting the minutes. Anyone nows the kind of questions asked in the interview? Any previous applicant willing to share?

No idea but I imagine it's case-by-case dependent. Would you mind posting your profile?

Ash, I only applied to LBS. I'm interested in a particular adjustment to my skill sets that LBS offers. How about you?

I'm applying to R4. My profile: 26F/710/3.3 from top U.S. undergrad Bschool/3 WE/ CFA Level II candidate

I submitted my resume for Peter to review and he strongly encouraged me to apply, assuring me that he only encourages 30% of pple who submit their resumes to apply. I do think he says that to pretty much anyone though. In any case, I don't have particularly high hopes for admission. GPA is kinda low (I did bring it to Peter's attn. since it falls short of the 3.5 requirement but he said the AdCom does look at other aspects of the application). WE includes experience in IB, HF and corporate finance so I hope that strengthens my case somewhat and I really really want to get into this program since my career goal is to work in portfolio mgt. and return to Asia.

I plan to apply to MBA courses for Sep 2011 intake. LBS MS Fin was a last minute decision and I have'nt applied anywhere else. I thought i'll just give it a shot. I plan to get into buy-side asset management.

Are the interview decisions usually mailed out on the day of the deadline? Any idea?

My Profile : 27M, GMAT 760, 3 Years experince, one in B-Side Equity Research + 2 in PE. CFA Level II candidate.
based on what I´ve read, they send e-mail with interview decisions on the scheduled day, maybe on the night before.

awaiting the interview decision...

Nice to see more number of applicants turning up at the forum... In general would this be your first Fin degree? any MBAs?

have you guys applied to any other programme?

Another R3 applicant here.

It's now 7AM in London, just hours to go.

Anyone know what percentage of interviewed applicants have been admitted the previous years?

About twice the number of applicants about to be admitted are interviewed.. I read this on one of the discussion boards somewhere

Are the interview decisions usually sent out at the end of the day? Neyone?

I sure hope they won't wait until the evening. From what I've read, the adcom meets on Thursdays, so now it's just a matter of sending out the emails.
