LONDON BUSINESS SCHOOL MASTERS IN MANAGEMENT 2011

thank you for the reply MRHDK1. It definitely brings a little more clarity. I am applying for r3, hope things work out for the best *fingers crossed*

Good luck for your GMAT. Cheers

Hello everyone!

I was wondering if someone could give some advice: I want to apply to the master in management at LBS but dont know if should apply in Round 3 or Round 4
My profile:
age:20
background: economics, 1st, top20 uk
experience: one summer internship in IBD
speak fluently 4 languages and have a very international background
gmat: 660 (at first attempt)

My questions for everyone in this forum is: Should i wait for round 4 when i have a higher gmat or should i apply at round 3 and then update my application when the higher gmat result arrives?

Thanks

wow, age 20 is big! maybe you will be the youngest that ever attended the school!

Hi there! I am now researching for a school, and I went to a financial times ranking. To my surprise LBS is not there:S The first places are taken by ESCP Europe, Cems, LSE and so on. Does it mean that these schools are much better than lbs in master in management? I am not planning to do academic carrier, so is it possible that those universities are more inclined on academic research rather than preparing people to a real life situations?
Should I aim to well-know universities like wharton columbia harvard stanford for my master, or should i trust ranking?
Thanks!

In order to be eligible for rankings, a program needs to have been running for three years. As the MiM at LBS is only in it's second year there's not enough data for the FT to rank it. However, the FT ranks the MBA at LBS first in the world (3 years in a row!) and the MiM is very similar to the first year of the MBA. We take many of the same courses and even do the same assignments sometimes. We also have access to the same alumni and career services center, and LBS looks impressive on any CV

Hey Guys,

For those who are coming to LBS in Sept 2011, join the MIM Class of 2012 group on FB so we can get together!

I just polished up my essays and will submit my application for round 3 tomorrow. Has anyone submitted theirs for round 3 or know of the expected timeline for notification?

just be advised that the deadline is 5pm gmt

i got an interview for the round 3 app stage.

can anyone advise on preparation, or is it like other MiM programs, walking thru CV, teamwork and personal fit stuff?
im not quite sure what competency based would refer to in this case..

thanks

Hey jianbinger!

Can I ask when you submitted your application and when is your interview? Cause I applied for round 3 as well and I did not receive and answer yet (thought it was supposed to be on the 15th of march)

Good luck with the interview. (I can't help you, I dont know how they go) maybe look at the thread for the previous year or on the earlier pages of this thread for round 1 and 2!

Hello everyone,

I did completed my mechanical engineering in may 2010. i am working in Maruti since august and planning to leave job now. that means i will have 7 months of full time experience. so will i be eligible for MIM in LBS for batch starting in sep 2012. (considering i prepare for gmat now and apply in oct 2011). Actually some people say a pass out from 2010 cant apply for batch starting in 2012 (even if he has less than one year work ex). is it so????

thanks in advance

Hi everyone,

I got notified on the 15th of March that I had made it to the interview stage of round 3. Has anyone from round 3 received the details of their interview yet?
