Hi ankur actually I spent 9 years working in Australia after New Zealand so I didn't use the NZ angle much. You can play on the New Zealand angle, but I felt my international experiences helped me more. Many people here hold 2 passports and / or have significant experiences living in a place outside of their home country. This is what makes the school such a fun place to be at. In fact I think there is a specific essay about international exposure.
About your % of admits question, they mentioned during orientation that 1 in 7 made it to LBS this year, so that is about 14%. But the real number of admits should be a little larger if you factor in the yield (maybe about 20%). But you must remember that applicants to LBS are very self selecting (many people apply to Harvard/Stanford as a lottery ticket). I personally know people here who got admitted to Harvard, Stanford and Wharton but came to LBS instead. So at LBS you are competing with a smaller but stronger applicant pool.

afan they usually send out emails in a bulk - not sure what time. I have heard meetings often run well in the night. Some cases are debated for an extra couple of days. Ignore the application portal part, I think that is a known issue. They dont change the status on the portal..
Good luck.
Good luck.

bsd_lover, prashok, or any other current student,
I come from a medical device background and would like to further my career in this industry. In my app essay, I used the example of the Centre for Scientific Enterprise as an opportunity to answer "Why LBS." I just looked online and found that CSEL has ceased operations.
Do you think this will affect how the admissions committee views my candidacy?
In the clubs essay I wrote about other forums and certainly can think of other on-campus opportunities to further involvement in healthcare/biotech but this is one example that I used.
Thoughts?
