Hello,

I submitted my R2 application for LBS and today while reviewing the submitted application I came across that there was a short answer question:

"We encourage applicants to take into consideration the impact of study on family and friends. Who have you discussed your plans with, and what was the response?"

While preparing my application on the portal, I am sure there was no text box to answer this question, so I did not answer it. Did anyone else faced the same problem?
If there was space to answer the question, the portal would have given error while validating the section.

Is there anything I need to do to ensure my application is not rejected.

Thanks


This happened to me too, I'm pretty sure I wasn't able to enter text in the box. In any case, it may just have been the nerves of trying to submit!

I've read through the threads and from what I gather, two accepted applicants also left this blank. It doesn't necessarily apply to me so I'm not going to worry about not having completed it!


Thanks buddy! Thats some relief.


I remember I input the answer to that in the box bellow it clearly stating which question I was answering. However I had news it was not a mandatory question so don't fret over it.:) cheers

Same here. I think its a server issue.

On selecting reset password link, I get no email to reset either.

FROM LBS Current Students Blog: London Life
Primrose Hill at dawn. I think it’s rare for a spot in London to be more majestic, and London is certainly a city full of majesty. I’m drinking in a panoramic vista which stretches on my left from Stratford almost 10 miles in the east, across the jagged mountain range of the City of London, and out across to the Royal Parks in the west.

The tip of the Shard is obscured by a single low-hanging rain cloud this morning, which nevertheless is pierced by the brilliant morning sun. It’s vaguely reminiscent of the view of Manhattan from New Jersey, except instead of shipping containers criss-crossed by train tracks, my foreground this morning is the verdant green carpet of Regent’s Park criss-crossed by the tracks of my fellow joggers.

Just beyond Regent’s Park, hidden from my present view, is the grand John Nash-designed Sainsbury building, icon of London Business School. We do have some startlingly attractive environs.

School is back in session for the Spring Term, the first week of which is internship recruiting week for my MBA class. I’m sure this is of much interest for anyone interested in business school, but as I’m confident that we’ll revisit this topic over the next few months, I’m just going to leave you with this little teaser.

Instead, I’m thinking about London itself. In the frenzy of term-time, whether it’s the height of exam week, or the depths of recruiting season, I think it becomes a little too easy to take the incredible location of our business school for granted. Even for me, practically a native Londoner, sometimes a treasure like Primrose Hill can be a mere kilometre away from campus but feel way too far away when that last paragraph on your fourteenth cover letter still needs to be edited.

And yet, the London location is truly one of LBS’ competitive advantages. We enjoy world-class cuisine, exceptional culture and night-life, a plethora of desirable potential employers, and, of course, those startlingly attractive vistas. Location is, I think, an oft-overlooked but crucial aspect of any decision to uproot one’s life for even a period of two years. I’m pretty sure that even my busiest classmates will attest to that, and also would probably report that the payoff from relocating to London in particular is wholly worthwhile.

I probably can’t do London justice in the context of this simple blog, so I’ll stop here, but I do encourage any readers that if they haven’t made the trip to our great city yet, then they really must do so post haste. And for those who have been once already, come again. I assure you that there’s still plenty to discover here.

 

“I have conversed with the Spiritual Sun. I saw him on Primrose Hill.” – William Blake, 1757-1827

 

*P.S. – if you want a taster of the view to which I refer, clever Google Street View has some great views: just use 51°32’21.9″N 0°09’40.6″W

I guess people start talking more on the forum a bit before the deadlines and after receiving results.
The wait is really almost unbearable!!!
But notice this won't be the worst period of wait... Interview decision will be released at Feb 03 and they may schedule your interview on the second week of Feb. Final results are only at the end of March!!! Prepare your nerves very well! :crazy:

Re: LBS (London): Calling all Applicants (2016 Intake) Class of 2018!! [#permalink]
Hi I am considering of applying to LBS for round 3 . I send my resume to LBS for profile evaluation and I got very positive response from them . Do they send such kind of positive response to only potential candidates or it is a routine practice to send such response to all candidates . LBS MBA is a very costly program . Are they as generous as US business schools in granting scholarships ?
