The questions can be downloaded from the application materials section of the LBS website at london.edu.
They are essentially the same questions as those on the MBA application.

Re: LONDON BUSINESS SCHOOL MASTERS IN MANAGEMENT 2012 [#permalink] New post   13 Feb 2011, 15:04
Hi all,

Congrats to all the admits so far.

I am a final year engineering student from India and the dilemma is whether I should send in my application for R4/R5 or wait for next year's R1. Earlier I was not very sure about taking admission in an MIM program and now when I am sure, I need to take GMAT and prepare rest of the application. Since it is a known fact that last rounds offer very few seats and also reduce the chances of any type of scholarship or financial assistance by a large extent so would it be recommended to wait for next year's R1? I will also gain some work expereince in analytics domain at a 2nd tier consulting firm by then which might be of some help in my post MIM career prospects as I crave for consulting positions.

My profile is:

Class 10th: 95%, Class 12th: 94% (Ranked among the top 5 in the state in both exams)
Undergrad: Engineering, GPA: expected 8/10 (absolute scale, 2nd rank in class)
College: IT-BHU (IIT brand & No. 1 ranked university in India)
Strong leadership experiences ( student secretary and representative in various student bodies and clubs) and good ECs
International Experience: EGIDE (INRIA) Scholar, France and a research internship. Few other research projects and an internship at an NGO in India.


I hope my profile looks sufficient enough and a GMAT score over 720-730 (keeping my fingers crossed 8-) ) will definitely boost my chances.

Any kind of suggestions are welcome.


Cheers.

Hi Marquis,
My suggestion to you would be the following:

If you think you can put together a compelling R4/R5 application, why not apply this year? Clearly LBS find plenty of qualified candidates to admit in R5 or it wouldn't exist. If you are not admitted, you can always reapply the following year in R1 after gaining some work experience, at which time you will benefit from having done the process once before and a healthier resume. The Admissions Committee also reserve the right to grant deferrals in special circumstances, so that could even be an option for you. (Such was my case, and I think I am greatly benefiting from a year of full-time employment.)

As for scholarships, according to the admitted students portal, the Annual Fund scholarships and bursaries are "allocated on an equal basis at each stage of applications," though I would guess that you are probably at an advantage for other sponsored scholarships you may qualify for if you apply earlier.

While the decision is ultimately yours, I would learn towards giving yourself the most options possible. This, of course, is just one opinion!

Hi Candlize,

Thanks for response. Your argument seems valid enough and I'm surely going to apply in R4 or in the worst case R5. The only point of concern is if I get a rejection then, does LBS encourage re-applicants or do they carry a kind of negative impression to the AdCom? I didn't find any relevant information on this in MiM section of LBS website. Any pointers would be extremely helpful.

Btw, it would be interesting to have fellow applicants views if my profile looks competitive for R4/R5, provided I get a decent GMAT score (720-730).

I do not sit on the Admissions Committee, so I can only answer this question more generally.
Business schools in general do not view re-applicants negatively, and reapplying can even increase your changes if you are successful at articulating why you still want to attend, and how you have improved over the previous year in the additional essays. I do not suspect that LBS is any different in this regard with any of their degree programmes.

I would Google information on "re-applying to top b-schools" or something along those lines for more information.

I would love to say that I could join the Facebook group, but unfortunately I only got waitlisted. Very disappointing, but there is still hope I guess. Crossing my fingers, toes and feet! :wink:

Does anyone know how many there are on the Waitlist?

Congratulations to those of you who got accepted. Great job :)

Thanks Candlize... I guess it is always nice to have views from more experienced people :)

I'll write an email to one of my alumnus who is currently a student of LBS MBA class of 2012 as she must be having a much better idea about all these queries.

do they offer any other scholarships besides the 2 ones mentioned on their website?
is there a possibility for loans for international non-EU students?


There are actually only a handful of LBS-sponsored aid options available to students accepted to the MiM programme. Most scholarships and bursaries come from the Annual Fund mentioned on the website. Loan schemes are available, but as you can imagine, not as abundant as for the MBA programme. Your options will vary depending on your country of origin. I would contact the admissions team with your specific query for more information: mim@london.edu.

If one is admitted; is it in any way possible to defer one's enrollment to the following year?

E.g. if one is presented with an internship position that is accepted, after which - hopefully - one is admitted to LBS - can one then enroll the following year without applying again?

Cheers! :)

apparently, there are people who have been allowed to do so. scan the threads (2011 too) and you'll find them

Jianbinger mentioned in the other thread that he got a r3 interview, think there's some confusion between the two threads! But answer is yes. (still waiting here!)
