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.

Evening guys,
I was wondering if anyone from UK, AUS, NZ had received the details of his/her interviewer from the Admission Team or not yet.
I for one am still waiting... and certainly looking forward !

Cheers,
A

Neither have I, but I feel totally chill about it.

They promised, right?... They couldn't have emailed me by mistake, right?.. It did say my name in the email, I think... What is taking so long?!!!!

well if you think about it guys, being notified of your interviewers late means you would do the interview late, and closer to the mar 8 deadline so you don't have to wait much long for mar 26.

i hope we all get in, and be classmates, and run around london, and party all night.
oh and yes, study together.

And more time to prep too... although I'm getting sick of prepping!

haha sounds like an excellent plan. Isn't that what doing an MBA is all about anyway?

Here's finally my first post in this forum - it's about time (hooray! hooray!)

First of all, this thread was just very helpful, thanks to the contributions of many regular posters (yep, you know yourself!)

As for the interviewer's details and the not-so-dreadful wait, still no news from the middle east as well.

The marathon is almost over now. Best of luck everybody!

Hi friends,

I am in London and nothing yet for me too. The wait is not bad as it gives less time biting the nails after interview :-)

Since they try to match students with your background/industry/sector, it takes a while to get an alumni nearby your location. So hang on tight, the details should be coming any time soon.

Wish you all luck and hope that we would meet soon in the campus to celebrate.

Cheers

...so if I'm TOO unique, I could theoretically wait forever? :shock:

In London and received my interviewer's details. It says I have until the 12th. It gives you the person's name, e-mail, title, employer, and year of graduation.

I did some internet sleuthing and it's scary to find that the interviewer and I have a lot in common. We went to rival universities in the same city in the US and similar degrees. I'm a management consultant and have worked on one case for a client and the interviewer worked for the competitor for the majority of his career. I hope I'm not expected to be an expert in that industry! Intimidating, but I'm looking forward to it...!

I wonder who I will be matched with for my interviewer. I have two wildly different professions that could be used to match me with and interviewer. I'm guessing it will be someone with experience in my more traditional work experience. I'm excited ...

I'm just hoping they'll have an alumni here in Houston. I really don't want to travel far for the interview... especially during the week. At my job, I only have 2 weeks vacation and 6 holidays. No personal or sick days. :-/
