Calling all LBS MBA Applicants: 2024 Intake Class of 2026

okay thats cool

thanks

Does LBS accept the GMAT focus?

If you register and start your application and go to the GMAT/GRE section, you will see they have given an option for GMAT Focus which would indicate that yes, they are accepting those

Has anyone heard of anyone who got significant scholarship from LBS?

I noticed that when I click into my profile on the main web page:

profile -> personal details -> education details

my lowest GMAT score attempt was listed - I did not enter any of this information, and it seems it was pulled from my app. I understand the GMAC submits all accepted scores, but I'm concerned as to why or how my lower score was listed here? On the application form I listed my highest score. This page also incorrectly listed some cert as my degree.

Should I be concerned, or is this not worth worrying over?

It’s the same for everyone. I think, like you said, it’s because GMAC shares all the accepted scores with schools. But I’m sure if you go to the Application section of your profile, you’ll still see your highest score listed there and that’s what matters. That’s what I see in mine

Huh, weird. I have 3 GMAT attempts with different scores, and the one I used for my application was the 3rd one (which also happens to be my highest). I see the same score on my profile, as on my application. Maybe the profile section auto pulls whatever was the "last"/"latest" score that was sent to the school, regardless of which one is used for the application?

Regardless, as the previous chatter says, I don’t think any of this matters except what actually went into the application form. I didn’t even realize we had a "profile" auto created on the website, that pulls info from our application.

Interesting. It showed my lower and earlier attempt. Latest attempt is highest.

does anyone know when the interview invites will start rolling out after the application deadline?

Hi All, Any tips for the Essay / Application?

what are the chances pf getting admitted in round 3 for south asian students?

from an under represented pool ?

OK Southeast Asian is overrepresented as I hope you know. When you say underrepresented, I imagine you mean either work experience or sexual orientation? Gender to a lesser degree? Round three is very competitive because you’re dealing with people who want to 1) upgrade the school they’re going to or 2) those who have shot too high and are applying now, or 3) even really strong candidates who just now decided to apply. If you’re applying to LBS, and you’re bilingual I would recommend that you apply to round one to INSEAD as well. Both schools value international experience and exposure a lot, given that they are both what they call UN-style programs. 98% international. There are only a certain percentage of seats for each country.

Good morning everyone, I applied to LBS in the second round on the 3rd of January. So far I have not received the KIRA interview questions, and I’’m having a hard time finding LBS source material with details on whether they do this and when you should be getting the questions. Anyone have more details on this?

I don’t think there is KIRA for MBA! Where did you see it?

Also, has anyone heard back? Those who applied in R2!

For LBS, you will receive instructions for KIRA essays if/ after you're shortlisted.

all right, good to know. The blog linked above is also the first mention I see on the LBS website. Thank you everyone, I remember it from a virtual session they organised. But as mentioned could not find it in their process description on the MBA page.

Thank you everyone
