True story! I will withdraw JBS anyway, but I'm still curious in seeing how my application turned out...

Check your email accounts -- JBS 1.5 is out!

As for me, I'm on the interview waitlist. So it's an easy decision for me -- I'm withdrawing my application.

Good luck to all the prospective Judge GMATclubbers!

Hi Devil,

Thanks for your kind wishes, and I really want them to come true! - but I’m on R1 wl at JBS, so no news are expected until February. Got Season’s Greetings from them, though.

As for your questions – I’m afraid I can tell nothing reassuring. I haven’t talked with Asian students at Said, but from what I heard, the career prospects for those graduated this year and for the class of 2009 are rather grim. If you’re a switcher – you could change only one factor of ‘function, industry, location’, and even this will be hard. Move into finance jobs is almost impossible; and even if you had a prior experience, it will be tough for you.

At Judge, the career manager said that the prospects are expected to improve slightly for the class of 2010 (for us, that is). But still, I felt that we were advised to be very modest in our career expectations – to the extent that it could be wise to agree to a step back in terms of position and responsibility, if you wish to remain in the UK.

A former highly skilled migrants programme is no longer in action (since June, I believe), and this MBA-shortcut is no longer available, too. However, you could apply for 1 year permit for post-study work, and then, if you manage to gain all the necessary point, to apply for a work permit under the general scheme.

To prashok:
So sorry to hear that, friend...
But you have your LBS admit, so I hope you were not too discouraged!

Thanks greenoak -- indeed, not much would have changed for me, regardless of JBS's decision. I am still ecstatic about LBS, and barring any magnificent and unexpected surprises from INSEAD or Oxford early next year, London it is!

Hope you hear back positively soon for JBS! And just a few more weeks for Oxford R1... ;)

Thanks guys!

Insead and Oxford are next indeed.
But after the JBS ding and St Gallen waitlist, I now need to considering back ups. Maybe UCD or Trinity in Dublin and HEC Montreal.

I am just concerned: 2 applications so far - Ding and Waitlist
Maybe I just have to lower my expectations, but I'll try Insead/Oxford anyways.

As for Cranfield, it is a decent programme and a possible back up.

Cheers,

Judge does seem to be very selective, though -- I guess they just look for extremely unique candidates? I thought I had read here or on another board of examples of candidates who had gotten into the top US/European schools, but still got dinged from JBS.

Two words spring to mind - "yield control"

Both factors play an important role, I guess.
I've been watching Judge for several years, and I can tell it gets harder and harder to get into the programme. Yield control is important too - but in a rather peculiar way. I've already said that it seems that they are interested in the candidates who are able to get into Top European or US schools (and perhaps applied and were admitted there), BUT still turned them down for JBS. There are a good number of examples among current students.

Btw, has anybody heard of at least a single interview invite for R1.5? Do such people exist at all? Or the positive decisions just were postponed? :?
