neo656 - It is an admirable compilation. And thankfully, with LBS, we have a date (31 Oct) when our fates will be sealed. Let the prayers begin!

Thanks.. I do what I can to keep the thread lively, but I see other school threads to be sharing more data. May be it's the LBS effect .. The candidates are generally older and tend to have higher responsibilities, which leaves less time for the forums etc.
Once I am done with rest of my apps, I try to post better data here. :)

How does LBS do? Do they invited everybody on the 31st or do they gradually send out invitations?

I believe it's all at one go...
Nowhere on the website or blogs did I read that it was rolling event.

FROM LBS Current Students Blog: Hi there, this is me
Before coming to London, I worked as Senior Consultant at Roland Berger Strategy Consultants in Brussels and traveling around Europe to execute strategic and cost reduction projects in various industries. I engaged to work with disadvantaged job-seekers and to coach an entrepreneur (Check out his venture at Tripodmaker.com). Currently, you can find me in my free time around friends, discovering London, eating chocolate and working for the Industry Club. And as you might have noticed just recently, blogging about my experiences at LBS!  To make it more personal by looking back at my most recent Leadership Skills session, I share with you my work-in-progress motto: “I want to empower people and generate buy-in by showing an energizing and ambitious personality”.

These first two months have been amazing and overwhelming. I hope this blog can capture at least 10% of this journey. Seeing all fellow MBAs together last week on our first London Talk around our class theme Big Data was a reminder of how fast it all has been going. The scene made me think about my “first day of school”, walking into Old Billingsgate Market but seeing only a handful of slightly familiar people. Of course I haven’t had the opportunity to get to know everybody yet, but looking into so many familiar faces was shocking and heart-warming. This crazy small community in greater London will not let me go for another year and half and I like that prospect!

Proud as I am, I don’t want to leave without this little joyful side-note. Our stream (one of five groups of ~80 MBAs) won the People’s choice award at the Bollywood dancing competition of our yearly Diwali party! Yeah!

Let me come back to you with more elaborate stories soon. Blogging is, next to pursuing my MBA, a new venture for me! Please let me know if you have any remarks, comments or recommendations. Not sure if this is the consultant in me talking or how it is supposed to be done in social media ;-). I must say, I am as excited as you to go through these ventures together!

Poets and Quants recently published an article on the Class of 2016.
https://poetsandquants.com/2014/10/15/lots-of-mckinseyites-in-new-london-class/

Highlights-
London said the average GMAT score for the class was 700, an increase of five points over last year’s 695 average, when the GMAT score range went from a low of 600 to a high of 790. It is believed to be the first time London has reached a 700 average for an incoming cohort.

The school said it received more than 3000 applications for the class, but in common with other European business schools did not reveal its acceptance rate or yield—the percentage of admitted candidates who enroll.

Roughly 36% of the class is female.

....the highest percentage of students hail from Europe (35%), with Asia second, with 21% of the class. North American students represent 17%, while Latin America accounts for 14% of the students. About 7% of the MBAs are from Australia and New Zealand, while Africa and the Middle East has a 6% representation.


The article contains more interesting info if you're interested.
