Thanks laman for the info.
Interview was good. It lasted for 2 hours. I was asked on each and every aspect of my statement. Also I was asked questions on Global markets, Forex movement, etc. The interviewer was trying to understand how much I know about my work. And questions on why MIF, why LBS were obviously there. Overall it was more like a discussion than trying to knock you down.
What are the chances of making it if someone has gone through the interview process. One negative point in my profile is lack of International experience. How much weight will be given to this?
wow 2 hours is long! as I heard interviews last 1-1.5 hours. Which alumni was interviewing you? I mean a recent one? And obviously he should have a similar background with yours as he was able to check about your work.
As they state in the interview shortlist email, the fact that you were invited for the interview already means that you met their published criteria for GMAT score, WE, etc. so I truly believe that you should not worry about international experience too much. Finally, they assess entire profile and yours seem to be quite strong. Good luck and keep us updated
I tried to figure out what % of interviewed people get into LBS finally but unfortunately had not find anything. Feedback from 2010 MiF alumni was 80%, but this is his opinion. For me it seems to make sense, in theory they should get rid of people whose applications were fake in some way, or people made wrong impression. Also they should check how social you are, how well you'll able to match the class... Uhhh.
