Yupe.. I thought so.. hence have not contacted admissions team for this.

if anybody facing the same issue and want to view their application, there is another way as below...

log in to LBS site ---> go to the LBS MBA home page --> click on "apply now" link

this will take you to your application and you will be able to view the status

FROM LBS Current Students Blog: Sports and fun
Sports & Fun

After the more serious post of last time, this will cheer you up and make you wonder why you aren’t already here! Sports is one of the many corners of my previous blogpost’s picture. Depending on your preference you attach importance to juggling sports and the accompanying fun into your schedule. Or at least, that’s true for the sports part; you will never be able to escape the fun part!

Start to Run, Color Run and LBS Mile Trial

Sports have not been very high on my to-do list before coming to London, I said to myself I was working too hard to free up time. Positive stimulations and a friend sharing a ‘start-to-run’ podcast, my good intentions drove me towards starting to run in London. As I was not much of a runner before, I didn’t know I would be still running and enjoying it as much as I do. I started swimming as the school has a great swimming pool and that was my favorite sport, but running took over quite quickly.



My brand new first running shoes since high school

Halfway through the first term, a classmate organized for an LBS delegation to go to the Color Run in London. I was not quite ready for my first contest, as I was still following the podcast forcing me to alternately run and walk during 30 minutes. But I was quickly told it is more fun than really running. That’s exactly what it turned out to be, and I did finish my 5 km, alternately running and walking while having a lot of fun with my classmates. You can find proof below

Before



And after!



The running club at school also organized the LBS Mile Trial. A contest between streams (the MBA has 5 streams of each ~80 students) and staff or other programs to run the most miles together in November. That’s when I downloaded Strava, my running app now joining me on all my runs – even if the weight of my smartphone in my pockets is sometimes more than what my running pants can actually hold. Yeah I know, I definitely need to buy some better equipment. My contributions to the Stream E result were only minor, but it does feel good to have come fourth at the contest. How do they say it again, participating is more important than winning!

Women’s Touch Rugby Club goes to Fontainebleau

Discovering a sport I never knew existed is and playing it twice a week shortly after, is rather unusual, except at LBS. The WTRC is an active club recruiting many women to join not only to play together but also to have fun and prepare for the recruiting season. Our great coaches have put a lot of effort in learning more than 50 newbie ruggers how to perform a three-man drive, pass smoothly and to score a try, or try to score a try! I have eternal respect for their patience and what they managed to achieve. Thanks to Snatch and RuPaul for your dedication.

Very quickly we played a mini-tournament in London and took it internationally with a tournament at Insead. We travelled for a weekend with the Eurostar direction Paris and Fontainebleau and kicked Insead’s ass! Together with some party, it was the best cocktail for fun!

In the picture below, you can see that we quite outnumbered the Insead women! They were luckily joined by some guys to make us able to play against them at least. LBS rules!!



People ask sometimes how transformational the MBA experience can be, and I must admit it certainly works for me. Already on this single corner of the different facets of the MBA, I feel being in London spending precious time around all these great people makes you do crazy stuff!

Next time you’ll hear something more about the famous Belgium Trek that the Belgians organized in the first term. I must say, a big success story! Just to keep you interested!

Not here either - there was a success page after submitting. I'm sure if you pay the deposit they will chase up on the essay if its not got to them successfully.

Apologies if this has already been address, but anyone know what it means when your application has been "edited"? I applied shortly before the R2 deadline and haven't received any updates on interviews or rejections, but I see that my application has been updated quite a few times (Jan 14 being the most recent date). I'm just curious if this is a good sign or no? Thank you!

It will update quite a lot - they seem to 'edit' it whenever they add notes or something to your application such as interview outcomes and final decisions etc. Everyones will be 'edited' close to the final decision date as they prepare everyone's outcomes for the mail shot.

We were reviewing in Round 1 and having looked back I can tell you that the dates last edited mean very little and can't be read into. Don't stress - just use it as comfort that they definitely have your application and are considering it.

Best of luck.

Hey Guys :)

So one of my preferred choices is obviously LBS but I am also interested in Wharton and Duke.
Besides all the nerves from the application process, I am very interested to hear from all of you on why you chose LBS or would recommend it over other schools?
Would really appreciate some feedback!

Thanks :)

For me, it was primarily the international focus at LBS. There's not one dominant nationality or regional focus at the school with a very diverse class and case studies from across the globe, whilst US schools tend to be majority US students and American-centric. LBS is a clear winner here for me over the US schools.

Otherwise LBS performs on a par with the elite US schools - rankings it is generally seen as an equal to the M7, and is highly regarded in Europe, the Middle East and Asia.

It has an excellent careers service and being in London has access to the top global companies, as well as placing high percentages into the top finance and consulting firms. Basically in London it has no other equal for any industry/sector/function.

The only thing I put in the minus box is careers placement into the US - based on location it is always going to struggle to have strong support for getting jobs in the US so those with ambitions only in the US will consider purely US schools (but could utilise the international exchange at LBS to Haas/Wharton etc.). However given I'd be an international candidate - from what I've been told by US Alumni - its difficult anyway to get a job in the US as an international from a US school for a number of reasons (US Bias, Visa issues etc.) and thus I might find it easier to get a job in a London office for a couple of years before seeking an internal move into a US team.

- 96% job placement 3 months out
- London
- Global focus
- Best vibe during the interview and chats with alumni and current students
- A more reasonable immigration system (compared to the US)
- They have shown a frank interest in me with nice personal touches. Tailored email, phone calls, etc.

The substantial scholarship didn't hurt either :D

If you are thinking of working int he US go for a US MBA though. I've been working here long enough and have been wanting to go back to the old continent!

I would take Wharton over LBS, but LBS over Duke based on my industry preference post-mba.

Did anyone else get a acceptance reminder?? I have done everything to accept but still got an email. So I'm worried that I've missed something.
