The London Business School 2010 thread

Hi all,

First time poster here, I believe. I'm a R1 admit who will definitely be attending in the fall. Just wanted to wish you all the best of luck when d-day rolls around this week. Also, be sure to check your spam folder on d-day! Despite getting emails from LBS regularly during the admissions process, for some reason, my decision (and many others) ended up in spam, so I almost missed it.

I went to visit the school for the first time last week. I was a bit nervous since I hadn't been to the school before, but in all honesty, the school blew past my high expectations. The students, faculty, facilities--I was really impressed by it all. Two things really stood out to me: the classes were especially practical. The prof in one of the classes was going through complex Excel models as they related to a case study, which is incredibly useful if you are going to work in finance. I was also impressed by how successful the LBS first-years have already been in landing internships. In talking to my US b-school friends, they are still struggling mightily in finding jobs. Yet the LBS students have already locked down great interships at top-notch firms--some of them actually have TWO great internships.

Anyway, just wanted to say how excited I am for this fall, and hope you all will be coming along for the ride!
