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

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.
