| FROM LBS Current Students Blog: Things to Consider When Applying to LBS |
|
John F. Kennedy — ‘Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country.’ At London Business School, I have learned to see from a managerial perspective. As the manager of a business school, one is concerned with the school’s reputation and the quality of education it provides to its students. Therefore, when admissions managers review applications, they often look for evidence of added value and how applicants contribute to the classroom and the wider LBS community. The exact wordings of the essay questions on the application vary from year to year, but they are designed to help admissions managers to evaluate the following:
[*]Can you demonstrate that you have and will continue to exemplify the core values (communal, courageous, engaged, ambitious and eclectic) of London Business School?[/list] [*]Do you show, through your application, convincing motivation behind your application and your qualifications aligned to the requirements?[/list] [*]What do you add to the community of achieved and extinguished individuals that are the students and alumni of London Business School?[/list] With this insight, now you can backward-design your arguments. Write your application from the perspective of the admissions committee; include details that are relevant to them, and leave out things that would distract them from appreciating your uniqueness. The application should be succinct to a point that, when they are done with reading it, they should be able to identify you in your own category. The ability to create and communicate your own brand is highly valued by the admissions committee, as well as prospective employers. It shows self-awareness, strong analytical and communication skills, and a healthy does of self-confidence – skills that reflect problem-solving capability. Being able to communicate your brand in a way that emphasizes your value to the organization (e.g. London Business School) is even better. |

Term 2 could be re-baptised the term of summer internship recruiting. Busy, busy. The academics doesn’t stop and recruiting ramps up big time. With term 2 long gone, and the spring break having just turned the corner, I thought I’d share my two highlights for term 2: Mike Bollingbroke Guest Lecture One of the lectures of MOB (Managing Organisational Behaviour) was done by Mike Bollingbroke. His career? Pretty impressive: Operations top-guy at Cirque du Soleil, COO at Manchester United and now CEO at Inter Milan. We spent 2 hours with him and it was A-MA-ZING! I cannot talk much about it because Chatham House Rules applied, but I can say he discussed what he believe were the foundations of leadership, his key lessons learnt, and he walked us through real examples of key points and issues in his career. Tattoo What’s that? LBS has gone crazy and promotes people having tattoos? Don’t worry. It’s not that. Tattoo is just the funny name of an event created to honor diversity. Tattoo is where every nationality comes dressed in their best attires and showcase to the rest of the community what it is to be themselves. Every nationality brings their own food, and everyone performs in front of an audience. In short, LBS – at its purest. I attach a video of the Indian performance – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ze54kBer2QY |
