hi madman
I’m torn between Kellogg and London. LBS was always my dream school / city, but when I went to visit the vibe I got was very different from the US schools I applied to (Kellogg / Duke / Ross).

Hi Girl1 ... could you please elaborate a little bit more on "the vibe" thing you mention. I´me admitted in both Ross and LBS and believe it or not...I´m having a hard time trying to decide...

cheers

Thanks a lot bsd_lover. I am looking forward to discuss more with you, since I have to make a tough decision to choose between Kellogg MMM program and LBS (learning toward LBS

).

I still have not recieved any notification of the Stage 2 decisions? Anyone in a similar situation?

Could anybody confirm if there is deadline to send them a confirmation in the admit email?

No contest there

- I visited Kellogg during my exchange to Booth - one visit and it was quite clear to me Kellogg's location and general weather would be no fit for me. The student body is quite social and fun but I think LBS body is just as social and arguably even more tight knit (and FAR more international). The huge payoff comes in the LBS location, you really feel like you are in the centre of the world. If you get the opportunity, visit both, the schools are so different that the choice becomes really clear cut.

How do you pay a commitment fee? I don't see any e-mail to send the fee form to... May be I don't get it because I haven't recieved my offer pack yet?

Hello guys!

I am IN!! Congratulations to those who are in and good luck to those waitlisted.
Thank you for all the comments posted in the thread, they have helped me in my journey.

Now it is time to find the funding.
1. Has anybody got any news from LBS scholarships?
2. Any guidance on other sites that offer scholarships?
3. Has anybody applied for HSBC loan?

I have applied to round 3 myself...According to LBS, we will get to know about their decision on April 08...So, I dont think we will hear anything before that day.
