Hi, R3 applicant here!
Are the interview invitations on a rolling basis, or all sent out on April 25th? it isn't clear from the website.
Thanks!

Hey -- I applied in R2 and my experience was that interviews were all sent out on the date listed on their website. Pretty sure it came around 12est/5pm gmt

As people have mentioned, the final decisions tend to start getting released early but I don't think that was the case for interview invites

Hope this helps

Hey everyone,

I recently applied to LBS. I have had my alumni interview.

A member of the senior admissions team reached out to schedule another interview to discuss my application. They mentioned that the call with will focus primarily around my goals for the programme.

As I understand, not many candidates receive an extra interview as part of their application, any insights would be great if anyone has had similar instances. Thanks for your help

Did you talk about your goals for the program in your alumni interview? Might be that the alumni just forgot to ask, and they need that info to fully assess your app (I know for my interview, they had a specific set of key questions incl. goals for program and took notes on my responses)

they must really like your profile.
There could be two possibilities. There may be two possibilities, either the admissions committee is trying to double-check how the LBS program can help you achieve your goals (in case they feel you are good even without it), in other words, justifying the need for an MBA, or they are seeking more clarity on whether you have a clear understanding of the practicality of your goals. I suggest you think through both the scenarios.

Hi! For anyone who applied in R1 and R2, did you submit any supplementary information after the application deadline to help strengthen your application? Say a letter of strengthened interest detailing why it's your first choice?

Yeah, I did consider score and career updates but I was thinking more along the lines of submitting a letter of strengthed interest based some conversations I had with students after submitting the application - but tbh they already have plenty to read so I'm not sure if it's the best choice haha!
