Hello everyone,
If you are planning to apply for MIM at London Business School, feel free to share your experience with the application process or to ask for help. I've found the previous topics here extremely helpful, so it's advisable to check them before applying to the programme:

23/M/Bulgarian EU
GMAT: 700 Q48 V37 I am seriously thinking about retaking, since I felt extremely drowsy during the Verbal part and literally skipped the last 15 questions. Quite sure that I'll get higher score on the retake;
UG: Law at the most prestigious university in my home country. I've also succeeded in transferring into a program abroad starting from the next academical year. One summer semester at a renowned European B-School this summer.
GPA: 3.4-3.5. I'll harness all of my potential in order to improve my GPA by the the end of my UG. Probably the weakest point in my application.
WORK EXPERIENCE: 1 month as an intern in a proprietary trading firm. An ongoing occupation as a senior associate in a NGO.
EXTRACURRICULAR: Very Good (Of course, in my opinion
)
What do you think about my plans to retake the GMAT? At first glance, my score is slightly above the overall from the last intake, but there is no guarantee that the program won't attract more and more bright applicants and, secondly, males tend to get higher scores than females, a tendency against me. Obviously, my score is sufficient for all of the other top MiM programmes, but I long for LBS. However, if the GMAT were the only criterion when evaluating our profiles, this dilemma wouldn't exist, but it's still very important.
