Personally I had a positive outlook on SBS, and both the interview and Open day reinforced my views.
My interviewer was way more informed and prepared than the INSEAD interviewers. (Who hadn't even bothered to read my application. One actually offered to help me with other applications should i not have made it into INSEAD)
Throughout the open day I saw pretty much what i expected. The career people are there to help but won't do your CV for you or call up their network to get you a job (to be expected). Students were happy with their work, said it was a crazy time (i'm sure they are freaking busy all week long), but that there is time to play if you can schedule it right.
I think the best thing i got out of this was that most of the current students went in (contrary to their application essay) with a vague idea of what they want to get out, but worked it out during their 1 year.
That's just my opinion, anyone else care to add?

I went to the Admit Open Day and my opinion of SBS went up afterwards. It was positive to begin with, but after Open Day, i was really taken by them. (which poses a very difficult choice between SBS and INSEAD). I think SBS is a great program in a fantastic setting with easy access to the London job market.

I finished the interview day at Oxford (still writing from Oxford) today. I had a realistic expectation of what it would be like, and it didn't disappoint me. The interview process is fairly straight forward--just the normal, expected interview questions. They do very well in making sure you feel welcome.
What was eye opening was the diverse aspect of the program - afterwards, a group of us (interviewees) were sitting together for lunch with current students - it was a mix of nationalities including US, Canada, Germany, Netherlands, New Zealand, and India.
Afterwards, a sit-in on a current class was quite interesting, and the level of discussion taking place was what you would expect.
Most of all, Oxford the city for me was quite attractive, and it's a much bigger, livelier city than I expected.
Though I'm not certain how it will turn out on decision day on the 23rd, it was a great experence. Best of luck to those currently interviewing and those currently applying.
