thanks, rwkTX

I actually have a question to American students at LBS MiF. How's school track record of placement in the US? How many American students return to States as opposed to staying in London?

Does anybody know if MiF programme operates under rolling admissions or stage base admissions?
One of the alumni told me that his admission process seemed like rolling basis.
However, few of the articles on web shows different opinions.
I am weighing to submit on 2nd stage deadline vs. few days later after the stage 2 deadline.

no, no, I think my post was a bit confusing. What I meant to say is that I'm in as a candidate to the program, not "in" as in "I'm admitted" in.

sorry for confusion :)

I have a feeling we'll hear something after the November 13 deadline.

Now it is a wait game. But the e-mail that I got from adcoms said that they will review the application ASAP, so I hope it won't take long.

by the way, are you guys excited about the optional fourth term? ;) Students will now be able to do an internship in Summer, which I think is absolutely great news.

Update on my part. I'm in the process of setting up the interview. There was a delay as LBS couldn't find anyone in my home country so I'll have to travel abroad.:( However, they assure me that once interview is conducted it usually doesn't take long to reach decision. Let's see how it's going......

Also, according to their e-mail the AdCom meet every Tuesday.

Must2013,
It may be too late for this advice, but you're better to submit ahead of the deadline. This said, the admissions committee applies the same admissions criteria for the first four rounds, so If you are into round 3, you have the same chances of admissions. Within a round, the committee reviews applications in the order received (i.e., kind of on a rolling basis), but obviously if you apply at the first part of round 3 vs the end of round 2 then they will be focused on the round 2 applications and you will have to wait longer for feedback.

Hi All

UPdate on my part.

Just got an invitation for interview!!! yeah! I know it's not meaning Im in yet, but still im quite happy and determined to make it work.

To those who are still waiting, best of luck!


Congratulations :) Be sure to search this thread and the 2012 thread for advice on how best to prepare for the interview. Feel free to send questions my way as well.


THank you rwkTX!

I am starting my interview prep today. Since im in London and admin office said it would be quite easy to find someone to conduct my interview so they are hoping to get this done quickly, which means i need to be up to speed with my prep too!

thanks, rwkTX! I also wonder if the program has experienced a drop in number of applications to the program. The entire finance sector took a brutal beating over the last few years and I'm sure b-schools also felt the pinch (Columbia, for example, saw applications drop by double digits this year)

many companies stopped funding MBA course...that's what i have gathered..not sure about MiF, which i assume mostly self-funded?

You heard anything from the school yet?

Yes, I actually got an interview invite and we'll try get the interview out of the way asap. :) I really want to know whether I'm in or not, by the end of the year. I don't want this process to drag into January :)

Hi Guys

Would you mind sharing your profiles? I applied in R2 and am not sure why I haven't received an invite yet. I have 5 years relevant experience and a good enough GMAT score. A little tense now

synecdoche,
I would send an email to Peter Johnson and mention your time constraint to him. I'm not sure that he can do anything about hurrying up the process, but you never know unless you ask.
