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.

I had the same problem - my second referee completed the form only 5 days after Jan 6th. LBS states that it cannot confirm receipt of any of these materials separately AND that they will directly let the candidate know in case their application is pushed to Round 3.

@chinoforever, pranay,

Thanks guys. I read the bit about the grace period for recommenders on the LBS blog.

Hi Saruba,
What is this date based on? I thought all interviews were issues on the same date (9th Feb?)?

I submitted my application the 29th, but for the MSc program. Anybody knows what is the average time spent until you are asked for an interview or waitlisted?

Good luck to everyone!

Sorry, I guess it's different for mba program

Hi all,

I am a fellow R1 admit. Congrats to all admits, and best of luck to current applicants!

I have a quick question - does anyone know if it is possible to extent the deposit deadline at all for LBS, for at least a couple of weeks?

Thanks so much.

Those of you who applied for the Master in Finance program - did you give essay style answers to the questions in the personal statement template?

I am considering applying in Round 3 and would like to know if there others with the same idea. Would anyone have an idea whether there will be 20-25% of seats to be filled in round 3?

it's been pretty quiet here lately - i guess R2s are waiting for interview decisions, while R1s discussions moved over to Facebook?

has anyone paid their commitment fee yet? deadline is coming up! when you pay, are you supposed to receive an official confirmation of your place in the programme? has any of you got anything like that?

Hey Guys,
Got a mail from the adcom saying they require my GMAT score report. I have not reported my scores directly through GMAC. I sent a scanned copy of my score report. Can anyone confirm if LBS needs the official score report or just the scanned copy is enough?

hi culesrule,

there's a bit of a confusion here --on the website it says self reported scores are sufficient at the time of application--however there is also a bit that says " Please arrange for your score to be sent directly to the School. Our GMAT code number for the Full-time MBA is Z11-J7-50."

Anyways- it isn't difficult to send scores now through mba.com, though it says it takes upto 2 weeks, when I ordered additional score reports they were reported to the school in 1 business day.

Hope that helps and good luck with your app!

Yeh I got the same so I sent through the PDF form that I downloaded. I assumed we only need to send the official one through GMAC if we get accepted?

Assumed the same. Also, since it said please send it through mail to the same address, Im guessing its the scanned copy only.
But I also saw my status showing incomplete in couple other schools so I've just gone ahead and sent the score officially too. Did not want to take a chance.
GMAC says upto 3 weeks but I think it goes in a few days.
