Per an email an admitted student received, "The Cambridge background check involves a thorough search of your belongings. Any evidence of prior contact with Oxford, presence of University of Oxford stationery, or even the possession of anything remotely blue might result in warranted consequences".

:lol: How funny. I love navy blue. Guess I have a problem.

Congratulations to ALL admits.

Sorry haven't been posting much. Those of you who are coming to SBS will know why they call Hilary, "hellery"

Lots of interesting discussion about SBS, JBS, clubs, work experience, admissions, job prospects.

I would just like to say with regards to the above topics, b-schools recruit you for your potential. The rest is upto the individual. You will get a unique experience at which ever school you go to. There are 240 classmates in my class, and guess what, all their MBA experiences are different to mine. Don't read too much into blog and forum posts - these are just 1 person's point of view. Visit the schools, make your mind up by speaking to people face to face or on the phone. If someone wants to call me, PM me and I'll be happy to oblige.

Goodluck for future applicants!!

I assume you're Welsh (since you didn't specify where you are from), so you won't need any visa to interview at Cambridge.

If you want a better answer, we'll need more information :P

I got an email from SBS with dispatch details of the application packet, though I am yet to receive the same. Has any R2 admit received theirs yet?

Also, I haven't seen any forums addressing career prospects after SBS. I read a few blogs and they were somewhat vague - not sure how much help the career services office provides and how much is personal networking. Has anyone heard anything about the 2009 placement stats?

I have 5 years workex in retail banking and want to change my sector after MBA - to IB or MC. How does SBS fare for such goals?


Hello all, haven't heard any thoughts on the career prospects at SBS. Has anyone done some research on this before deciding to pay the deposit? appreciate any comments. thanks,

Hello all, I have another question: what are the internship options at Oxford? I read about the SCP, but is the project offered by Consulting firms with an opportunity for a pre-placement offer? Or is it just a consulting project, but at different companies?

Hi guys,

I've received a few private messages regarding Oxford essay number II. Take a look here on last year's discussion and especially greenoak's comment:
https://gmatclub.com/forum/oxbridge-2009-applicants-67959-440.html#p577064

Also, here is a tongue-in-cheek list of Oxford colleges and the stereotypical students:

Thanks Annae! I really liked the posts about the visit to "OxfordandCambridgeclub" and the last post: the plans for Oxbridge GC members meeting. Hope we will continue the tradition! :idea:

By design, it’s just a consulting project which could be performed at a range of companies – recruitment is not the primary purpose. I’ve heard anecdotal evidence about the potential for relationships built on the SCP to lead to job offers, but I suspect this doesn’t happen often. If you wanted a standard internship with a consulting firm, this would be in place of the SCP.

Same here. Haven't submitted. So, are niraja, alpha and myself the only R3 applicants on this forum? I am scared that we might be facing an uphill battle.

Students can opt for an internship in the summer term in place of the SCP.

Regarding placement stats, here's a quotation from the Times:
Quote:
Karen Siegfried, MBA executive director at Judge, is also upbeat. “On the jobs front, we are starting to see some momentum. We have several students holding multiple job offers at this point in the year.”

The article also states a 32% increase on GMAT test takers the past 5 years and can be read here: https://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/business/management/mba/article7081440.ece
