The London Business School 2010 thread : MBA Archive

pmenon · 2009-05-25T11:27:47-07:00

Continuing the tradition set by bsd_lover and others in the past, I proudly present to you, the 2010 LBS thread. I invite all those applying, or considering applying, to contribute to this thread. Im sure it'll be just as popular, if not more, than the threads from the last 2 years. So throw your names into the hat, ladies n gents, and get ready for one helluva ride !! P.S. Im thinking about keeping this thread exclusive for MBA applicants, and have a separate one for MiF and MiM applicants, as there seemed to be a lot of interest in those programs last year Here is some further info on the school : MBA home page : https://www.london.edu/mba.html Employment report : https://www.london.edu/mba/careerimpact.html Social Clubs : https://www.londonsa.org/dynamic/club_list.php Recommendor forms : https://www.london.edu/assets/documents ... ctions.pdf Mckinsey recruiting at LBS - https://www.mckinsey.com/careers/lbs/home.aspx Ranked #1 school in the WORLD by FT in 2009.

surefire

Only two more days until the deadline!

Are they going to release results the day of, or do they start calling admitted candidates the day before?

from what I have read from R2, everyone is notified via email, Dings first, then waitlist, then admits.

most people seem to have received their notifications around 4pm EST so late in the evening GMT

I think it will be same as with the interview decisions. LBS is always very sharp on the deadlines. But this last day of waiting is always the worst :-)

I just don't get it! I got this ding after my interviewer started an interview by saying that my application is the most interesting and the longest one he has ever seen in 12 years of interviews!

Do you have any insight about what have gone wrong?

Arturs: Your GMAT could be an issue or maybe they have a bunch of other guys with similar profile.

Will you attend HEC?

Well I think I have a very unique profile for LBS, as I have worked for 7 years in education/cunsulting and non-profit field!
Are you an admit? I will need to have things work with HEC now, as I had a really huge gap between HEC and LBS decision deadlines!

I have been admitted to Oxford and Cambridge. I am still holding out for LBS, though. Will know about LBS in a few hours! Fingers crossed.
