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!

Does anyone could evaluate the chance that an international applicant could be admitted with a TOEFL of just 100 (20 in speaking) ?

From the student club website, the lowest TOEFL score of Japanese students 2010 was 103, slightly greater than me!

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.

very insightful. Do you think people who are waitlisted and not offered a place this year are favoured when applying to the next in-take? Thanks !

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!

Yes, I need to immerse myself in my work. It would be the best way.

Thanks!

Nop, no such things for LBS 2013 admits...this is a little bit disappointing. I was admitted in another B school and the links to Google group of admitted students came in the welcome mail... which was great.

Don't be dissppointed, I have posted the facebook group.....also once you get the portal login (which should reach you soon) you will be connected to not just the admitted students but everyone at LBS.

Yes, I'm the one who created this group... it started for MBA admits only, but then i received a request from the LBS management to make it open for all admits as we'll be interacting with each others on campus.
