I’m an Indian applicant and my entire education has been in English in India. Am I still required to give the IELTS/ TOEFL for LBS?

Hi all
A reapplicant here (740 49 41). I was going through the forum and saw some things I found in the web, like that LBS informs you that you are not welcome to reapply, or not during the next cycle, or even that they want the very you to reapply. Can anyone shed some light on the response I got from them?:

Thank you for submitting your application for a place on London Business School’s Full-time MBA Programme commencing in August 2021 (MBA2023).

Members of the MBA Admissions Committee have now carefully considered your application. It is with regret that I have been asked to inform you that they are not able to take your application further, and therefore you have not been selected for interview for the MBA2023 class. Our applicant pool has been of an extremely high calibre this year, and consequently competition has been very rigorous and we have had to make some tough decisions.

Please note that the MBA Admissions Committee’s decision is final and we are unfortunately unable to provide individual feedback. We understand this can be frustrating but have included some general feedback below.

We are very sorry to disappoint you and wish you every success in the future.

The general feedback they added:

Should I reapply?
This is your decision, but please note that we do specifically invite those candidates we actively wish to reapply to do so when they receive their decision e-mail. You should also remember that competition for places is intense every year.

How do I reapply?
If you do intend to reapply, you must complete a new application and send it to us with the correct application fee. We can only hold original transcripts from your first application for one year. To improve your chances of admission, the new application must highlight aspects of personal and professional growth or list improvements made in areas of academic weakness. Unfortunately we are unable to predict your chances of admission if you make a new application, as the applicant pool changes from year to year. Please note that the earliest point at which you can reapply will be for next year’s class.


Also, do reapplicants send some additional papers, or send a new, full application without an extra essay for reapplicants, or there is an extra essay for reapplicants?

Thanks for all those kind responses

My personal thought is - if the official transcripts mention the language of instruction/evaluation as English, it is not required.

Has anyone had a real experience during application stage ?

Hey future classmate,

do you know if LBS do a background check after being admitted? Ex:

- they call your referees
- they ask additional documents
- they call your HR

Thank you so much
Just to know what I should expect.
