Hi- does LBS provide an early decision if we email them. The issue is I got through another college but need to accept / reject before LBS releases its interview results

I asked them. They said ask the other college first and then come back

but they do so.

Which other college is that?

No fee waiver. I think it’s mentioned once you create an account on the portal and go to the payment section.

Does LBS discourage international folks from applying in R3?

Anyone here considering R3?

I don’t think LBS discourages it - I would just be weary as an international student about applying in R3 due to visa/immigration/short turn around time.

Hello folks, I am usually a silent lurker, but wanted to hear your thoughts on how I can shape myself up to apply at LBS in a couple of years. I am graduating out of my undergrad in 2023

From SRCC - have a GPA of 9.5, am going to complete my CFA/FRM by 2024, and have about 18 months of experience at front end VCs/PE. I am about to join a Macquarie owned renewable energy developer as a project finance analyst. I aim to work in the climate finance space in the future

What steps would you recommend for me to best prepare myself for an admit to the class of ’26 - I would be having 3 years of work experience and hopefully, a competitive GMAT score. I already have some peer reviewed papers in financial markets (about 6) and have some volunteering experience under my belt.

What would be good to know is how I can best utilize the next 2 years. Many thanks!

Target industries would be VCs/PEs

I would go on LinkedIn and look up current LBS who work in your current industry and function and alumni who made the similar jump to yourself

So my thinking with R3 and internationals is, 93% of LBS is international. They have to be recruiting in R3 too. Plus UK offers 1 day processing if you pay, so time isn’t an issue and LBS doesn’t do background checks either. So I’d say you can apply R3, but know that there are definitely less spots available so it’ll be far more competitive

R3 applications are open?? Posted from my mobile device
Since Mar 27 is the deadline for Round 3 application, they must have opened it a while ago.

Aren’t you able to open the application form?

Hi, I have one more question,

I see some scholorship oppurtunities in the link here : https://www.london.edu/masters-degrees/ ... sidency%3D,

But should I do anything to apply for this? Or are you automatically considered for them once you get in?
