My name is Brad and LBS is my top choice, followed by two US schools. I hope all my fellow 2011 LBS applicants can share their application progress on this thread much like the 2010 LBS thread. I actually attended an MBA fair last fall and spoke with the LBS staff and got the ball rolling then. Over the past 6 months or so it has become apparent that LBS fits what I am hoping to get from an MBA and I'm focusing my efforts accordingly. I checked today and it looks like they've put up the essay questions. I'm on vacation for the next month, so it will give me time to draft a couple first drafts. I've already read a couple MBA Admissions books and have a spreadsheet filled with my brainstorming for the general topics that appear on the essays. I'm still not sure whether I will use a consultant to review my essays or whether I will go the friends, family and colleagues route. Beside the obvious cost of a consultant I feel that drafting and editing myself is almost a matter of pride, ...or maybe hubris. Anyone have any thoughts on this? My info: 30 y/o male (American) 7 years work experience (real estate finance) 710 GMAT (95% V, 75% Q) low undergrad GPA Best of luck to everyone and I look forward to possibly sharing a stream with you at LBS!

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).

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?
