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?

Congrats buddy! In a week's time or so you will get your LBS portal login details. That will give you all the details for financial aid, scholarships, etc. So till that time, take a whiff of fresh air and celebrate your admit decision, before you get into the chaos of managing finances :)

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?

You will get the details and the link, etc with your portal login details. So hang in there, every thing will fall in place :)

cille,

Commiseration or should I say congrats to Insead admit. It is LBS's loss and Insead's gain. Weather and food are nicer anyway in Fonty/Singapore :)

I applied in R2 and have been put on the waitlist. How many other people are in the same boat?

Any idea what the chance of getting in is from the waitlist (obviously not an exact science). I see a lot of people on this forum are weighing up multiple offers, so I assume that a fair percentage of people will decline their offiers - but LBS would have factored that in when picking the number of offers to give. On the email it says I don't need to submit anything in addition, but is there anything I can do to improve my chances?

The next 6/7 weeks are going to kill me! Congratulations to everyone that got in!

Thanks a lot in advance,
Joseph

There's usually a decent number put on the W/L every round. What are your odds of coming off it? To be honest it is almost impossible to give you an answer. There will be a significant number of W/L'd people who ultimately get a seat in the progamme, but your chances depend on a number of different factors including who pulls out, your background/WE, and at the end of the day your "fit" for the seat that opens up. I used to live with a member of Adcom (not at LBS, but a top US school) and every year she would comment that the hardest part of the job was dealing with anxious W/Ler's pushing for updates etc. I know this probably isn't what you want to hear, but it really is a case of sitting tight and hoping for the best for the next couple of months. Unless there was a massive hole in your application it's tough to do anything to improve your overall profile other than being polite and impressing anyone you meet involved in the programme (without overdoing it of course).

Good luck and I hope it works out for you.

I applied to R3 and am waiting for interview invitation.

Even though I know there would be no status update and email until April 8, I check my mailbox and visit this thread every ten minutes.

Any idea to endure this tough time?

Hi guys,
I have my DHL tracker but no portal login details.

Londonnite: Totally know how u feel, the wait was driving me crazy too. What I did was, as soon as I would think about it I would distract myself, so I watched a LOT of 'The Office' :) Hang in there!
