The Interview Congratulations for being invited to interview with LBS! Here you will find some helpful hints and information on the LBS interview, which I personally found very useful. https://www.clearadmit.com/wiki/index.p ... nInterview

is there any other forum active for lbs 2012 or has just everyone gone quiet?

I think everyone is waiting for interview details. I got mine today and now need to contact my interviewer.

ah ok... yes, got mine today as well...*gulp*

Are there any other admits lying around this forum? I got accepted two months ago after being waitlisted from R2 last year. Any idea when we get access to the LBS website?

Anyone finished their interviews yet? I'm dying to know what the presentation questions will be this year!

Hi Everyone, I was curious about the percentage of folks applying in R1. Since I got an interview, I am trying to gauge my chances of actually getting accepted. Based on what I have heard, it does not appear that getting an interview basically means your in, however it seems like a good half or so of applicants got dinged already. Anyone have any figures/guesstimates on this?

According to clear admit (estimate), about 40% of applicants are interviewed each year. I think that the true percentage might be less given the format of the LBS interview. Most schools seem to have much shorter interviews (30-60mins) whereas LBS interviews tend to take around 2 hours. My interview took 2.5 hours and my friend's interview took about 3 hours! Imagine the workload for the interviewer to process all the notes/feedback for the adcom from such an interview. Goodluck!

interviews for R1 must be slowly coming to an end..... had mine last week..not fabulous, but pretty ok I think..... now the painful 3-week wait has started....
