Wow, that seems pretty early for getting essays out there compared to most places.

I'm currently researching the LGO course. Is there anyone out there who has experience of this programme? How much does it detract from the full-MBA experience? Seems to be more of a bolt-on (!!!) than a substitute for aspects of MBA curriculum, but I'm not 100% clear.

I'm going to be attending the on-the-road presentation in London on 12th June if anyone else in the UK is thinking of applying. (Thanks to domotron for the heads-up!)

Hello Fellow Aspirants !

This is my first post in GC & My hearty wishes on all your preparations being successful.
An approximate R1, R2, R3 deadline, if not exact, added to each of the School's class of 2016 applicant pages would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers !

Wow. MIT pushed back its round 1 deadline by a month. The one good thing about that is that you will find out before round 2 applications are due.

Count me in for round 1!

I went along to the MIT event in London this week. It was nice to meet some other prospective applicants (rivals?) and get some face-time with admissions staff and some Alumni. The alumni were pretty finance-based, as they noted probably more of a reflection on London than MIT.

Anyone else reading this at the London event? Numbers weren't huge, but I was amazed that Harvard came all the way across the Atlantic on the same day - surely being so close to each other they would have wanted to avoid clashing?

The essay topics for fall 2014 entry have been released - two essays, up to 500 words each! It looks like they removed the cover letter requirement...
