LBS Reapplicant

Hi all,

Can someone advise me on how friendly LBS is towards reapplicants, especially as the application is fairly to the point.

I got dinged after interview last time around, and was not invited to apply again.

A quick brief on my profile:
- Indian Chartered Accountant, 28 years old
- GMAT: 750 (V46, Q47, IR 8)
- Total work ex by the time of matriculation: ~5.5 years
- Started my career at a bulge bracket investment bank, in their mid office (2.5 years)
- Moved to Big 4 consulting (8 months)
- Moved to a corporate VC (1.5 years)
- Recently switched to a media company in a Chief of Staff role

Had a pretty **** interview last time around (interviewer was fairly aggressive and unfriendly). Since the last application, I have bumped my GMAT score up from 730 to 750, and have made the switch to a fairly unique role as Chief of Staff in a media company.

What do you guys think my chances are? Should I write to admissions and ask them? What else can I do to boost my chances? Would love to hear from you guys.

Take my opinions with a huge pinch of salt given that this is the first time I've applied to a masters program and haven't hard back yet so I don't know, definitely, what they want.


Firstly why didn't your interview go well? Was the interviewer unnecessarily aggressive or did you make any mistakes during the process?

From what you've shared so far,your career projection is very perplexing.

You started in the mid-office and switched to Big 4 Consulting. So far so good. But then you left in 8 months for VC. Why? Did you decide that was your calling? If yes, why did you move again and if no, why did you take the VC role in the first place?

Then you've moved to a media company in a non-finance role. So my question is, what are you trying to do in the long term and why go to business school?

Thanks for this. The interview was slightly weird because the interviewer was aggressive from the get go, which in turn made me nervous. However, I should just have been better prepared for that.

As for the career trajectory, I have dabbled quite a bit, all in an attempt to find a calling. The switch to VC was yes, because it was my calling. However, the firm went through some restructuring issues lately, and growth and job security became an issue, which led me to seek out a move. As Chief of Staff, I’m still fairly in touch with the startup world, so I figured that might be easy to explain.

Why MBA? I have been working in and around the media industry all my life, and I want to get a more broad experience, working across industries. Also, my partner recently moved to London, so a large part of it is personal as well. Post MBA, I’ll aim to get into strategy consulting, and transition into VC/corporate development later.

I know the invite will be sent on 12 Oct, but does anyone know when exactly? I’m based in Asia and am wondering if I should stay late to wait for a ding or should I just go to bed early to maintain my sanity

Is that some sort of indication for schools’ interest or they just sent it to everyone?
