London LBS Class of 2018 - Calling all Admitted Applicants

According to a student ambassador, some named scholarships will be decided in the following weeks/ months as round 2 applicants come in...

Hey Niddy where did you hear from?

It's true that they've gone out. My AO confirmed it when I got in touch with her. There's meant to be another round of announcements next year around May where they'll consider all applicants between Rounds 1-3.

Thanks for answering this for me!

I got that info from the ADCOM.

A reminder to all admitted students that the deadline for accepting the place is next week (Jan 13)

If you haven't paid the fee yet, start checking how you are gonna make it (I would suggest trying to pay before the deadline, so you will have time to fix it in case of surprises)

And a special alert for the Brazilian admitted students: try to pay it on your credit card! Brazilian government started charging a 25% tax on every international bank transfer!!! Also, have this in mind when planning your finances, avoiding int'l bank transfers. Use credit and debit cards, travel cards and money. More details on this link: https://www1.folha.uol.com.br/mercado/20 ... rior.shtml

Even if your not Brazilian, do not let for the last minute to check payment procedures!

Regards,

What are the perks of being on the Dean's list? I've seen some current students posted this information on their Linkedin profiles.

Tuition fee reduction? "Just" prestige? Curious...

Hi, rsmith40!

It was not clear to me what's your question/request... Can you be more specific?

Hello everyone,
I just got accepted in R2

Hi guys, I'm in from round 2

Hi all, I've heard rumblings of an official Facebook group! Can anyone share the link to join? Thanks!

Posted from my mobile device

Hi All,

regarding the original transcripts submission, why LBS require original documents and when would the school return back to us?
Just curious and worry about mail loss.

Hope you can enlighten me
Cheers

Happy to join the crowd, would really appreciate if somebody can send a FB link to the class 2018 group.

Don't send them the originals unless you have more than 1 original for each transcript!
I've sent verified copies!
I don't believe they will send them back.

Do you have access to the Portal yet?
They say there: "You must send original versions (or certified copies). Transcripts that are not in English will need to be officially translated."
The same will be written in your offer pack.

Regards,

Your undergrad university should be well-equipped to do this. It's not unusual to request original transcripts and the universities are used to such requests. If it gets lost in the mail, LBS would let you know they haven't received it and you can get your undergrad university to resend another one.

are you guys worried about the Brexit at all??
