Anyone received their interviewer's details yet? with deadline on the 21st, that is just 2 weeks left...

Hey Joe, No I am waiting to hear back from them as well. I am mulling over the thought of calling them and confirming the details!

Everyone else in the same boat as well or has there been progress with someone's interview scheduling?

Yep. Still waiting. And it's normal. Start preparing, you will hear from them next week, on monday/tuesday/wednesday probably (based on what an alumni told me)

Just got an e-mail from admissions about the interviewer detail.
Same industry, similar age.
Not sure if it's good or bad...

Well, good luck to myself and all of you having the interviews shortly!

still haven't heard anything. I believe LBS doesn't have many alum in Canada. Any Canadian applicant received invite?

Received details. Emailed the alum as well. Yet to hear back on the final schedule though. Some overlap of the nature of work-ex but I am sure I can find a few topics to have a good discussion. Procrastination at work will be high this and next week but so will be the preparation.

I have spoken to a few alum and they all have told me to not worry a lot about this aspect. It is supposed be conversational, much like any other part of the interview. The key is to be clear and well-structured in your presentation. The content really doesn't matter that much.

Does someone know the acceptance rate of LBS (after interview) ? For example, 1 on 3 interviewed is admitted ?

Going on admit messages from last years threads - circa 70% accepted, 15% rejected, 15% wait-listed. However these numbers are likely to be skewed given those rejected may not volunteer information as such on the forum.

A good performance at interview seems to indicate a wait-listing at minimum. Also a higher % seemed to get acceptance in round 1 than round 2 whilst a higher % get wait-listings in round 2 than round 1.

Caveat is very rough analysis - but I've not seen any robust numbers anywhere.
