London Business School LBS 2013 - Calling all MBA Applicants

You just made hundreds people nervous No emails for me. Are you UK resident ?

Very true qwerty2008! sm468 where are u based? Also more than being baffled, id be very happy.. looks like a positive sign on the whole!

it's in the Washington DC area. It's on April 4 so my best guess is that due to the short window of time between the official notification date, and the event, they wanted to give people adequate time to prepare. Is it worth getting in touch with Admissions to try and clear up the picture?

sm468 your logic does hold! Awesome luck! and Congratulationsss!! I'd definitely confirm with the adcom.. though subtly.

1. Congratulations!! It does sound like very good news!

2. Phew! you are in Washingdon DC, so not in my city - otherwise, not getting the email was making me very nervous.

Good luck to us all, waiting is horrible!

I'm catching up to this chain of posts late, but it looks like you have an alum reaching out on your behalf which is great.

Just to share my story, I also had a very poor interview experience (you can search for my post earlier in this thread--just search for "syria" and you'll see it.) My regret is that I didn't act on it sooner. At the time, I didn't realize that the interview I got was non-standard compared to others and the general consensus of everyone I've talked to including other LBS alums who do interviews themselves is that I got shafted

At any rate, I sent a letter to the AdCom about my interview experience (with help from EssaySnark.) However, i sent it after my decision was rendered, so there was very slim chance anything could be done. Regardless, I got a thoughtful and personal reply from the Admissions Committee, so I appreciated that.

I've moved on at this point. When I think about, it's still a bit of sour grapes for me. But I'm focusing on other things rather than dwell on this.

Does anyone know when do R3 applicants start getting called for interviews?

Did anyone else in the US receive this email? I am based in Boston and have not gotten anything.... making me nervous now.

According to LBS site:

Stage, Application deadline, Interview decision sent on, Admission decision sent on
3, 28 February 2013, 09 April 2013, 16 May 2013

Thx

Acceptance already? Now one of the nervous hundreds! One week to go though

Hi guys, got the acceptance e-mail yesterday!
Japanese applicants got an early decision notice.

Very tough decision to make between Kellogg, Tuck, and LBS.
All three are so great schools and such a great pleasure to be accepted.

Congratulations Seina! You are spoilt for choice.. good place to be in! Btw didnt you get a call from LBS or just an email? Approximately what time did you get your email?

Lucky you! Congratulations! I wonder if it an indication that we will see more acceptance letters already on Monday?

The mail came around 20:15 Tokyo time.
It was indicated in the interview indication email back in Feb that all decisions for Japanese will be made in 22.
I think each region has each of its dates and if not notified, that region's decision will all come out on 28.

And there was no phone call.
Email only.

Thanks Seina, that definitely calms my nerves knowing Japan had an per-defined earlier date! Are you saying the early decision date was mentioned in your interview email?
