To get to the bottom of this, when did you receive the invite? If its the same day as me then it could be a general invitation.

Same here, so it is most likely to everyone applying from Europe then.

It is relatively common - the good news is that it probably means they are interested in the rest of your profile!

It’s usually after the application is submitted. Can be before or after the interview, since the latter is more about checking fit with the school culture (which is separate from what they’re testing with the GMAT)

While LBS emphasizes a holistic review, a lower score, particularly for candidates from highly competitive applicant pools, can become a limiting factor. If the rest of a candidate’s profile is strong, including work experience, leadership, and clarity of goals, LBS may encourage a retake to improve competitiveness.

This kind of feedback from LBS can come at different stages of the application process. In some cases, candidates who interact with admissions through webinars or informal chats before submitting their application may receive early suggestions to improve their test scores. More commonly, applicants are advised to retake the GMAT or GRE either during the application review process, before interview decisions are finalized, or after being placed on the waitlist. Among these, the waitlist stage is where such suggestions occur most frequently, especially when the test score is a clear outlier in an otherwise compelling profile.

If you're currently applying or have already submitted and are unsure whether your score is competitive enough, it may be wise to consider a retake proactively. LBS tends to be transparent in their communication, so if they see potential but believe a higher score could make a difference, they’ll typically make that clear. Good luck!

Hi, thanks for the info. I am on the waitlist too. How do I know if I must retake the GMAT? Because it is mentioned that we cannot receive individualized feedback, so not sure if they will tell me this

Improving your profile (and updating them on it) can increase the chances of being accepted. Depending on your case, that may be improving your GMAT, or getting a promotion / job change towards your long term plan, etc. It’s really case by case. If your GMAT is below the LBS average (around 645) then most likely increasing it will help!
