pros and cons of meta introducing subscription fees for insta and FB
Thank you! Did you get to choose from 5 different topic or your interviewer directly asked you to do it? Also did they give you this case regarding your goals? I heard that they are giving these cases according to the path you want to go. So was your post MBA-goals regarding tech?

Hi I’m an Italian student. Do I have any chance with a 690 gmat and 29.3/30 gpa (Italian grading system, roughly 3.9 gpa I think)? I’m interested in GMim or mim mainly but also other masters

Hello, in the interview invite mail, they had said that they would reach out to my recommender for reference check. I wanted to check if anyone's recommender has been contacted by LBS yet? Or if I should check with adcom if they haven't yet reached out to recommender?

Hey I am prospective re applicant to LBS. I got dinged without interview last year.
Post this, I have improved my GMAT (by 20 points to 740) and also showed steady growth at work through promotions. Further, I will receive a recommendation from my current manager, something I couldn't manage last time.

While I feel I have a good number of spikes, I have heard that LBS is famously hard to get into as a re applicant. Is this true? Does our community know of any success stories?

I really love LBS but don't want to waste my time/effort

I could see why many might feel that it’s hard to get in as a replicant, because they really prefer five years of experience and so if you apply with two or three years to come back again with three or four years they might not still be satisfied. Also it’s 98% international and so I imagine that similar to INSEAD there is a nationality percentage max. With Indian applicants. You really can’t ask for better upgrades than getting more than promotions and, improving your test score. Just reflect on why you probably didn’t get it originally and then if this addressed it. It matters whether or not the application is well written, but to really open the door for a fresh look it’s best to have a job promotion or a test show improvement. However if they deemed you for some other reason like not necessarily needing the school special features they do. That would have to be addressed as well so it just kind of depends on feedback that you’ve gotten before with regards to your application.

Hi MBA_Dreamer,

I just want to build on what Farrell from MBAPrepCoach rightly said.

Yes, LBS is known for not being reapplicant friendly. So is INSEAD, by the way. However, there are, of course, success stories. For example, a few years ago, I worked with a Korean male re-applicant who was successfully admitted. And he did so with his exact GMAT score of 700. He tried to improve the score but couldn't, so we decided to apply with the same 700 score given that the rest of his applicant felt really fresh and compelling. And he was successful.

But yeah, as Farell said, besides better essays and such, ideally you want to show significant improvements in your profile, and promotions at work and higher test scores are awesome improvements.

Recently, I have seen cases of LBS sharing feedback as to why an applicant got rejected. So, you might want to reach out to the school and ask whether they could share that info with you. Based on this feedback, you'll be able to sense whether a reapplication would make sense or not.

I hope this helps.

Warm regards
Alex

Hello, I scored a 700 on GMAT, had my GMAT today. Considering I belong to the over represented pool of Indian, male and engineer category though from a government sector, do I stand a chance?
Thanks.

Any idea when LBS will start releasing results? Last year, the first results were released from Nov 23, which was 8 days before the given decision date. So technically, if they follow the same pattern, we should start hearing from them about the results from Nov 22 this time?

Hey! I’ve heard back already (because I had offers from other schools, otherwise they wouldn’t have released it earlier)
