Standard for all Randy - its simple essay about commitment to school and their commitment to you. Wonder what they use it for…?

Thanks, gbc. Did everyone accepted get this note that their acceptance is conditional on the essay?

Dumb question - Where they say

"Please confirm that the address to send you your offer pack to is the one listed below (please note if you are based in Russia we will send this to a business address, as mandated via DHL) if this is incorrect, please email your preferred address (including postcode) to"

Do we need to reply to them to confirm it is correct, or only if it is not then email the address to let them know?

In as well =)

Also got the essay request.

First non-refundable deposit looks like its due 21/22 January. Does anyone know if the admitted students weekend is usually before that date or after? I haven't had a chance to go to campus and would like to do that and meet other students before making a final decision.

Congrats! Anyone from France?

At least last year the scholarship decisions came later, but then again I am not sure how much has changed cause we didnt have that essay you are talking about in the mail, it was one of the obligatory ones in the application already.

Maybe to decrease the acceptance rate and increase yield? If they admit someone who's also gotten into a school they prefer over LBS, that applicant is not going to write the additional essay, and LBS can book it as a rejection, not as an admit who didn't attend LBS. The problem is that LBS doesn't disclose admissions or yield rates anyway ...

Please help me understand LBS.

How good is LBS really? What American schools would you compare it to?
There is such a huge variation across rankings that it is impossible to understand the kind of school it is.

I am in!
