Hi,
no news about the scholarships here.
But I might simply not be among those lucky ones ;-)

Does anybody know if they actually sent out the emails?

Anyone heard any news regarding scholarships yet? I thought they were going to be out by now but it's been quiet.

Scholarships were all released until friday from what I have heard.

Has anyone here received one?

It's true that they've gone out. My AO confirmed it when I got in touch with her. There's meant to be another round of announcements next year around May where they'll consider all applicants between Rounds 1-3.

A reminder to all admitted students that the deadline for accepting the place is next week (Jan 13)

If you haven't paid the fee yet, start checking how you are gonna make it (I would suggest trying to pay before the deadline, so you will have time to fix it in case of surprises)

And a special alert for the Brazilian admitted students: try to pay it on your credit card! Brazilian government started charging a 25% tax on every international bank transfer!!! Also, have this in mind when planning your finances, avoiding int'l bank transfers. Use credit and debit cards, travel cards and money. More details on this link: https://www1.folha.uol.com.br/mercado/20 ... rior.shtml

Even if your not Brazilian, do not let for the last minute to check payment procedures!

Regards,

converge

What are the perks of being on the Dean's list? I've seen some current students posted this information on their Linkedin profiles.

Tuition fee reduction? "Just" prestige? Curious...

Would any accepted applicants be willing to provide me some insight and help with my application for round 3?

A little about my profile-
US-Male- Director of Communication for young but rapidly growing distribution company.
Background in entrepreneurship and non profit
Scored a 660 on Gmat, but have been taking a class through Manhattan and will be retaking in a few weeks hoping for 700+
Undergraduate from a State University with 3.28, but was married and had children while also running a successful business that I started.
My weakness is in essay writing. I have struggle creating captivating essays.
I have limited international experience working with manufacturers in South America and a retailer in Canada. I also have travelled to various countries mostly in Central and South America, as well as to the UK.

Hi All,

regarding the original transcripts submission, why LBS require original documents and when would the school return back to us?
Just curious and worry about mail loss.

Hope you can enlighten me
Cheers

Don't send them the originals unless you have more than 1 original for each transcript!
I've sent verified copies!
I don't believe they will send them back.

Do you have access to the Portal yet?
They say there: "You must send original versions (or certified copies). Transcripts that are not in English will need to be officially translated."
The same will be written in your offer pack.

Your undergrad university should be well-equipped to do this. It's not unusual to request original transcripts and the universities are used to such requests. If it gets lost in the mail, LBS would let you know they haven't received it and you can get your undergrad university to resend another one.
