nope, you just did well

of course, data from 2 tests cannot be considered a sureshot baseline but you have significant chances to do very well if you continue at your current pace and focus on correcting your mistakes

Hi ereqwq,

There are 6 official practice tests. Maybe your other scores were on nonofficial tests?

If you weren't already familiar with the questions on those tests, you're most likely going to do really well on the GMAT. All the best!

Hey Applicants,

I’m Jenifer Turtschanow, CEO of ARINGO MBA Admissions Consulting, and I’d like to invite you to join me for a live coffee chat on one of the biggest challenges in MBA admissions: standing out in a competitive applicant pool.

Every year, I speak with applicants who have strong academics, solid work experience, and competitive test scores, yet struggle to differentiate themselves from other candidates with similar backgrounds.

In this session, we’ll discuss how AdComs evaluate applicants, what makes an application memorable, and practical ways to strengthen your overall story through your essays, recommendations, and professional experiences.

Hi everyone,

I am preparing my application for postgraduate programs for the September intake in UK colleges, and a few colleagues from my previous organization are willing to provide Letters of Recommendation (LORs).

I am a bit confused about how the LOR submission process usually works.

- Does the recommendation letter need to be on the company’s official letterhead, or is it acceptable if the recommender sends an email directly from their official company email ID?


I’m very new to this entire process, so any guidance would be really appreciated. Thanks!

Mostly the process is that you record the email ID of the nominated recommender. The school’s portal then sends a link to the recommender, who needs to open that link and record their responses to various questions in the link/portal. In such instances, there is no letterhead involved. In some cases, schools give the option to upload a document instead of typing out the text. In these cases, it is advisable to ask the recommender to upload their response on an official letterhead. An email directly from them to the schools should be the last resort and should have a reason behind e.g. tech glitch in the link sent by the school, etc.

Hey everyone! Looking for honest guidance from people who’ve been through the MiM application process 🙏

About me:
- Indian, 20 years old
- B.Com at a Panjab University affiliated college (non-elite)
- Sem 1 SGPA: 5.9 | Pending papers in Sem 2 & 3 (working on clearing them as already gave re appear exams as I had health issues and family stuff)
- ACCA: 3/13 papers done (Applied Knowledge level and paused for now due to toxic mentor and bad institution )
- Targeting MiM Sept 2027 at HEC Paris, ESSEC, INSEAD, ESCP, emlyon
- GMAT prep ongoing, target August 2026 through e-GMAT
- Cannot do in-person activities right now — fully remote accept for I have signed up in local NGO
- Also writing e-book and starting YouTube for documentary, experience sharing, giving knowledge on things I know or learning
What I need help with:

1️⃣ What extracurriculars actually matter for top MiM applications when everything has to be remote? (Forage, Inside LVMH, online consulting projects etc — am I on the right track?)

2️⃣ Is hiring an admissions consultancy worth it for a non-elite Indian profile? If yes, which ones actually helped you for French MiMs specifically?

3️⃣ How do I handle the pending papers and non-elite college story in essays without it hurting me?

4️⃣ Any general advice for someone 15 months out with this profile? And I am targeting R1 and R2

Really grateful for any guidance please and how to use cold emails, LinkedIn for my case and any particular people to connect

Hi kaustubhkohli12,

You must have taken all 6 official practice tests. Have you also taken each test twice, and how long has it been since you took these tests?

Got it. You may have forgotten most of the questions by now, so maybe you can still use the official practice tests? Otherwise, you'll have to use sectional tests or switch to nonofficial tests. I'm sure you're already aware of all this, so my reply is probably not too helpful.

All the best.

Hi everyone,

I’m Shimri Winters, an LBS MBA alum, former LBS MBA interviewer, and currently General Manager at ARINGO MBA Admissions Consulting.

Having interviewed candidates for LBS, I’ve seen that successful applicants are often those who demonstrate strong self-awareness, clear career goals, and a genuine fit with the LBS community.

If you’re planning to apply to LBS and other top B-schools and would like feedback on your profile, GMAT/GRE score, career story, or school selection strategy, I’d be happy to offer a complimentary profile review.
