LONDON BUSINESS SCHOOL - MASTERS IN MANAGEMENT 2013

Hey all,

I am preparing for the GMAT in order to get in LBS. I think I could have a decent GMAT score, though I don't think I'm fully prepared for the test. I was just wondering whether I should take the test next month in order to apply for R5, or practice more and take the test in march and apply at R6. Do I have fewer chances to get in if I wait for R6 ?

Could you also give me your thoughts on my profile:

French and Canadian, lived in Montreal for 18 years, lived in Bogota for 1 year, now finishing my postgraduate degree in one of the best schools in France. I have decent grades but there are not impressive. I speak French, English and Spanish fluently and a bit of Portuguese. Quite important extracurricular activities and internships.

I really count on my GMAT score to improve it.

Thank you

Hello everyone,

I have applied for R3 and haven't heard from LBS yet. Quite worried now, because HEC Paris did not give me an offer for their MIF.

Please reply.

In which round did you apply?
Well, this loss of yours has given me some hope, because maybe they haven't contacted me yet on purpose.

Through my sporting career I am employed with Indian Oil Corp. Ltd. (Highest ranked Indian company in the fortune 500 rankings) But my job profile is to represent IOCL in the various national and international tournaments and hence was considered a non (business) relevant experience by the Mim team thus making me eligible for the program. I think thats about it for the profile!

Is there anyone else who had applied in R3 and has not heard from LBS since?

I wanna know whether I can apply to LBS MiM program while being still in college, final year, so that I can join straight from college

Thanks a lot. But I am not gonna apply this year. I am still in pe final year of my college. Just wanted to know so I can schedule my preparations and the test dates.

Made it to the interview!! Got an email a few hours ago ))

Good luck. I'll have mine on Wednesday

When did you receive your invite? By the way, how many had days passed till they sent you the exact time?

P.S. could you post your profile?

I was notified early on early February. I emailed them two weeks agoto urge for a quick decision since I have to accept/deny a job offer later this month and they arrange my interview last week.

I go to a no-name Liberal Art College in the Mid West, but have 2 summers in an emerging markets. 3.9 GPA with 750 GMAT. But I think most people in my demographic has very similar scores (Asians duh!), so the selling point was my essays and back story.

Is the HSBC Loan without the requirement of Co-signer for International students available In case of MiM program.?
