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.

Was waitlisted as well. Same thing happened when I applied last go around. Not to expecting to get of the waitlist this time either w/apps being up and the economic climate. That was fun, off to the bars.

I received my admit at 6am Melbourne time (7pm London time) but it went into my spam folder.

So my advice - check all your folders!

Congratulations to those who're in, and best wishes for those who're wait-listed.

Has anyone sent an email confirming their acceptance yet? Adcom has asked admits to do this "immediately".

ah, seems gmatclub had a great sweep this time but I ended up on the dry end. I've been waitlisted and previous years' statistics don't look good at all for WLs, so I might as well accept it as a denial.
Congrats to those who made it, have a great time

My congratulations to all those who have been admitted. Not a single interviewed person has been dinged so far - this is simply a stunning set of results.

To those who are wait-listed, I'm very sorry. I know exactly how you feel. I was in your situation in December 07 - uncertain about what to make of it. My experiences have been well documented in the thread of 07 here : lbs-r1-roll-call-54115.html

In summary :
- Be prepared for a long wait - the movement occurs towards May/June/July
- Movement DOES happen. This year LBS had about a 65-70% yield. There will be at least 100 people who will leave an empty spot to be filled by WL candidates
- Your chances of getting a deferred admit or special consideration for class of 2013 are very high
- Try to keep in touch with the ad-coms - if in London visit them personally
- Keep in touch with your interviewer (if you had a good interview) - they will revisit him when reconsidering your application

Once again - dont lose heart - WL is not the end of the world. In fact LBS waitlist has a good chance of easy conversion for next year.

Hey, I see you have admits from Kellogg and LBS...where are you planning to join? Now that I've been put on the dreadful WL, I might apply to Kellogg in R2.

Hey BSD,
Its truly dreadful and I dont think I will remain sane till the end of WL

I will apply to few schools but the whole MBA app experience has drained me out since I am a reapplicant this year and its been over a year of torture :D

Guys,

To the WL's and dings - Don't lose hope and keep trying. The fact that you were invited for interview means that you have very good profiles. But I believe beyond a certain point, it becomes a very treacherous process. Too many people have very good GMAT, acads, ECs, essays etc. and therefore above that threshold there is a big chance factor also that plays in. Just try for R2. I will be glad to help anyone (don't know how good I will be but I will genuinely try to). Good luck for your next apps.

To the admits - Congratulations. Let's get to know each other and plan for our two years at London Business School. Mods, what do you suggest?

D.
