Hey guys,

LBS asks you to submit the official test taker report for GMAT. However, the report also includes which schools you have sent your scores to. I was wondering if this has an impact on the application?

Realistically speaking, I'm sure the Adcom is aware that students aren't applying only to LBS. But, if LBS isn't in that list of schools (that you send your score to), does that indicate to them that they're not your first choice?
Perhaps I'm just overthinking this! Let me know what you guys think!

Thanks!

Break down the pdf and upload only the first page. School selection is on the second page. One way is - Take a colour print and scan only the first page. Remember, test taker copy at the centre has only your score on a single page - that’s what I recall.
All the best!

Also your instincts around not revealing other schools like Columbia Wharton HBS are correct; LBS is pretty concerned about losing admits to these schools and if your application doesn’t indicate super specific reasons for the location and the school, then it’ll be a red flag to admissions. On the application itself I’d recommend only mentioning schools such as INSEAD, Saïd, Judge, maybe even IESE. INSEAD will keep them on toes and make sure they consider your for a scholarship if you’re that good. Mentioning one or two other schools that are no competition at all such as Rotterdam or HEC might work too.
Just my opinion as a fellow applicant having spoken to multiple folks.

Completely agree. Adding a bunch of US schools followed by LBS may give the impression that you are not clear on the location for your MBA. So, European schools are the best bet and considering how strong LBS is in Europe, they would be confident that they are your first or second choice (after INSEAD).

For the GMAT online exam how does one get the score report? Is it okay if I have sent the scores to the school from Mba.com. I am not sure how to obtain the score report to attach?

Yeah for online you can’t get a score report, so just pdf the results page. Don’t forget to also send the score to schools - separate button for that

I took a screenshot and printed it to pdf of my score to attach to the online application in addition to having MBA.com send my scores directly.

LBS doesn’t need official scores for application evaluation. That’s what the Adcom said when I emailed them.

Hi guys. Wanted to get a quick opinion on how it will be viewed if I request the admissions office to try and take up my application before the official deadline? For context, I have already submitted my application for LBS MiF much earlier than the deadline (didn't apply for MBA as MiF is a better fit for my career goals). Official interview decision date is Oct 23rd (11 Dec for final admission decision) but I have been accepted to two other schools and both need their decision / deposit payment by October end. Is this the sort of conversation i can have with the admissions team ?

Any inputs welcome.
Thanks

try your luck with all 3, ask 2 to delay, and LBS to make early...and see the outcome, LBS team is quite humble and may consider. Hope for the best.

Hi guys,

I would be thankful for your advice on my current situation:
I got accepted for the LBS 21 intake off the waitlist of last year. So a first hurray and thanks to the gmatclub community.

However, LBS is asking for a total of GBP 9000 commitment fee due in two installments (October & November). I have also applied to HBS/GSB, but only hear from them at the beginning of December.

Do you think the adcom would be open to a negotiating a later payment of the commitment fee? ~€10,000 is quite the high cost to hold the spot. HBS/GSB would be my top choice, followed by LBS.

Thank you for any advice!

Congratulations on your acceptance to LBS, LBS is quite generous, hence you may try with a strong reason apart from the reason mentioned above. Good Luck.

Hi all,
I have applied to LBS in round 1, just wanted to understand if the interview calls of LBS are rolling or come out all at once on the decision day? Has anyone heard back from LBS?
