I'm not reading too much into it and would suggest you do the same. No point over analysing crappy data points. Its all just a way to make ourselves more anxious and keep trying to run ahead of time when ultimately only the email can tell us the real story.

No, didn't get anything from them yet.

gcb09173, did you choose LBS over HBS? Why?



Show more

We maybe shouldn't get into this here.

There's a host of reasons - some of specific ones between those schools listed in link posted above. It was always my top choice school.

End of the day I prefer the LBS MBA and will thoroughly enjoy studying there and taking part in the GBE's, LBE's, etc etc. all the clubs, and yes sitting chatting studying running and cycling around Regents Park.

That's all I'll say on the matter.

Don't read into the edited dates - they were changed randomly in round 1 and we couldn't work out any meaning out of the changes. Quite possibly just whenever they add any new notes to applications - reading references whatever,

FROM LBS Current Students Blog: End of First Term
After a (very) long winter break, it is time to talk about the first term. We are now done with four out of the ten core modules in Dubai and I must say that time has flown by.

After the orientation week in London, the mood was jovial when everyone met each other in Dubai. Seating was assigned on a chart. With a class of XX [insert number] students, it was a good way for our professor to remember names and measure class participation.

We attended a variety of core courses such as Developing Effective Managers in Organisations, Financial Accounting and Managerial Economics. Some professors were an instant hit, some grew on us. But overall I would say that the quality of teaching was excellent. Though some courses were more valuable for each person than others, overall the first term has definitely added a lot of value.

The first three modules were crammed into two months, and the pressure on time really tested everyone. Suddenly the euphoria of the orientation was over and we were down to business. Most modules started with an exam for a course from the previous module, and that did bring the realisation that we were indeed in a rigourous academic environment. Some of us hadn’t taken an exam in years! I think we are used to it by now. We also make sure that the harder we study, the harder we party afterwards. After the first three modules, the schedule has become more manageable with one module per month.

The social reps have organized a couple of great events so far. An authentic desert safari with dancers, amazing food (including camel meat!) and an exceptional ambience was a lot of fun, especially for the out-of-towners. This was followed up by a boat party with excellent music (provided courtesy of our classmate Omar), superb food and a mind-blowing view of Dubai Marina thrown in for good measure. The Student Association put up an excellent Christmas party as well.

For me, the networking was the most exceptional part of the first term. In addition to the events organized by London Business School, the countless lunches, dinners and cocktails enjoyed with my classmates will always be something to remember. I have got to know a lot of them at a personal level. I’ve met many spouses and children and had the pleasure of visiting some of their homes too. The warmth and feeling of bonding is what I look forward to the most when coming back to Dubai.

Though I can’t wait to keep coming back, I can’t help but think that we are almost halfway through our core courses. For most of us, this will be the last degree we undertake. The fact that such times may not come back again makes me want to absorb as much of what is there to offer as possible. Here’s to an exceptional second term!

I can't see an edit time - I can just see "date last viewed".

Maybe they just binned my application straight away.....

the "last edited time" is not shown in the application system. It is shown in "My application" after logging in their homepage.
I think "date last viewed" = the date that you submitted your application

I wouldn't take it as a reason to worry.... In all likelihood, it just means your application was read earlier than those who have "last edited" dates that are later.
