Calling all LBS (London) MBA Applicants: (2018 Intake) Class of 2020!

Do we get calls today, tomorrow? Or do we only get portal updates?

Results come out on March 27th right?

Yes, I just double checked. I had thought I was told March 23. But same question, will they call the admittees on the 26th, 27th, or only portal updates?

From memory, Round 1 admits were called 2 - 3 days before the final date, from a number with a 44 country code. Good luck!

Do you remember where you might have seen that they called? The decision tracker from last year shows everyone reporting being Admitted through email.

Oh I didn't see that anywhere. This is what I remember from my chats with Round 1 admits.

Does anyone know what % of the students get offered scholarships? Looking at decision trackers for recent years in this forum it seems to be 2-3% of the reported population, while the article below on FT says 20% ...

Although they have a huge collection of questions, here are some examples:

> What will you gain from the London Business School MBA Programme that you won’t gain from another MBA programme? (This question will be the first question for all candidates, known in > advance ; Basically, they ask WHY LBS?)
> Tell us about a time a team member did not “pull his weight” in the team, How did you handle this situation?
> Tell us about a time you were introduced to a new culture. What did you gain from this experience?
> Why do you think you are fit for working in an international environment?
> What is the importance of diversity at the workplace?
> What is the most important aspect of teamwork?
> What is the most challenging aspect of working in an internationally diverse environment?
> Tell us about a situation in which you were part of a dysfunctional team, and what steps did you take to improve the situation.
> Please give an example of an encounter you’ve had with another culture, and what did you learn from it.
> Tell us why working in an international environment is important to you?
> What, in your opinion, is most challenging about studying in a diverse study group?

You are given 40 seconds to think and then 90 seconds to record your answer

Hope this helps!
