Hi everyone,

This threat has been very quiet. I am currently waitlisted and I wanted to know to whom should we send updates. Today there was a chat in GMAT Club hosted by Fortuna Admissions where I asked:

Should all communication be sent directly to the waitlist manager or to someone else?

The answer from Fortuna was the following:

"The best idea is to send any waitlist updates to their regional admissions manager (this is the person they will have had contact with throughout the process). That person will make sure any update is correctly filed and forwarded to the AdCom"

I wanted to know if someone has experience regarding this or any useful information. Thanks!

Anyone heard back from LBS yesterday? If admitted, can you share what actions you took and your profile?

Yup, an email stating I am still on the list.

Sorry to hear that tipoktech! I am in the same boat with you.

Now there is a long wait until the next waitlist review... Judging from previous years threats, LBS likes to wait until very late to accept people from the waitlist. Very important to work on backup plans!!

So I applied for LBS in Round 2 and got waitlisted since then (March 2017). Yesterday the school offered a position for next year's intake (MBA 2020) so that's good news.
The deposit is pretty steep though (4000 GBP due by September and another 6000 GBP due by November), seems like the school is really worried of people accepting and not going.
