Application questions you may have
- Yes you need the GMAT or GRE (do whichever one you think you can do best in)
- References/ Referee: You only need one referee (although needs double checking) who can be either academic or professional. The referee will then be sent a form by LBS to complete which have various questions. It is your responsibility to ensure the referee completes this form before the application deadline to be eligible for that round.
- Application fee is £100
- Essays: you will have 5 medium sized written questions to answer and plan out (can be found when going through the application portal) as well as two big essay questions about learning outcomes at LBS and your contribution

Good initiative Edouard! Applicant from last year here ! I got in and don't hesitate if you have any questions. Good luck everyone!!!

Hey guys we have gotten a couple private messages about the importance of the GMAT. If you want more details send a PM. We just wanted to put a reminder that while the GMAT is essential LBS looks at every part of your application. People with scores bellow 700 get into LBS because of amazing work experience and clear goals/ ambitions. The GMAT is a very hard and very stressful exam. Give it your best shot but the essays are just as important and merit as much attention. Good luck to all of you passing the GMAT

Hey,

I am the school moderator for the LBS MiM intake which was started a couple of days ago. However, if you have a burning desire to take that role, it is fine for me. However, I think you need to be designated school mod to do this:)

Deadline is approaching - do we have any GC applicants?

I am looking for Round 1 and would be nice to meet someone else who does it!:)

Do we not have a chatroom for LBS MiM applicants?

Do not think so unfortunately

I just submitted my application - now, lets hope for the best!

I submitted last minute as well.
And now I am able to find few errors and points that somehow got removed while editing. FML

Anybody know whats the weightage for the essays?

No idea, but would assume ~20%. In terms of your previous post - sorry to hear. I wish you the best!

I am going to cry myself to sleep now

Do not overthink it - for sure, a LOT of mistakes and so on is unpreferable, but if you have a stellar application besides some minor grammatical issues, I do not think you have to worry about it too muhc. And anyhow - nothing to do now right?

Is LBS MiM even a good program?
Not a lot of people seems interested?

I think there is more a lakc of general interest in MsC at GMATCLUB. It is safe to that the LBS MiM is a good programme. Of course, it depends on what you want to achieve from it - but in terms of ranking and reputation, it is a good programme.
