Hi MJ, maybe if you post a little bit more about yourself, we might be able to help. I was at the LBS presentation a few days ago and they said that because this is a brand new program, the class size could vary from 15-100 depending on the quality of students.
Graduated from Lahore Uni of Management Sciences (LUMS) in July 2008 (economics major), I doubt any of you would have heard of it, but its the best we have in Pakistan . Worked for a month not-for-profit firm in Pakistan and now in the asset mgmt divsion of a regional invmt bank in GCC(middle east).
Gmat's 690 (90th) V:38 (84) Q:47 (81) A: 5.0/6.
CGPA: 2.9/4, Trust me LUMS is tough in grading, but I simply can not convince you as you probably don't even know about the University. Notable Extra-curriculars but I doubt they would make a difference if I put them here in much detail, stuff like Uni society president and 1 Top ten ranking in a Pak chess tournament.(but then pakistan doesn't have great chess players).
I got the general idea about the MM program and all, I guess like HBS, LBS will also be looking for those bright young kids with exceptional skills which i dont have so what is the range of their GPA and Gmat scores, if they are in line maybe an excellent essay might turn the odds in my favor... any help bsd_lover will be greatly appreciated
