Should I apply to LBS? 26 Mar 2021, 09:20

Hi,

My GMAT score is 660 and I think the rest of my application will be strong.

I am looking for a good scholarship as I want to return to India after my studies.

Do you think I should give a shot at LBS/Oxford/Imperial? Would they even have a scholarship for the last rounds of application now? Will appreciate any guidance.


I am targeting 1 Year - Full-time MBA. Any 1 top university which you think suits my requirements and I should try?

Regards,
Avinash

Hello Avinashkr29,

Thank you for your post. Frankly, a 660 is slightly on the lower side for London Business School. While the program accepts a range of scores, their average score for the class of 2021 was 701.

I suggest working to get into the high 600s/break 700 to make yourself a more competitive applicant. As for Oxford, the median GMAT is 680. At Imperial, they simply say that you need an overall score of at least 600 – although a stronger score will add more weight to your application.

My advice for you would be to take another stab at the GMAT and expand your school list. Personal MBA Coach advises applicants to apply to 5 to 7 schools to maximize their chances of acceptance.

Of course, there are many other factors that affect your candidacy as well. Take a look at our comprehensive services to learn how we can help you put together strong applications and guide you through the process.

Feel free to send a note to [email protected] to further discuss your situation.

Best,
Personal MBA Coach

Hi Avinashkr29,

Apologies for the delayed response but we hope this finds you in time still.

Your post does not provide crucial information pertaining to your years of work experience; nonetheless, considering your GMAT score, while you may take a shot at applying to Imperial; both Oxford and LBS are not recommended.

Ideally, you must re-take the GMAT and apply with an improved score.

All the best!

Hi Avinashkr29

Please provide more details on your profile, including education and work experience. At this point, we would not suggest that you apply to the schools you have listed. You should now consider applying in Round 1 next year.
