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!

4 more days to Friday boys and girls of R3. What are you doing to get to Friday? Besides the interview invite, I am waiting to receive my ipad2 and going through pages and pages of old posts on the GC forum.

Anyone admitted in R2 receive their Portal login yet?

No I haven't received the log in portal details. I expect it this week as well as the list of scholarships grants (Fri 8 Apr). Fingers crossed!!!! The offer pack did not say anything about getting a laptop from the school, anybody know?

what has ipad2 got to do with this? are they giving one to each admit ?

Is there any news on the scholarships. I guess these are already out. Has anyone received it.

tommorow the D day No.1 for R3 applicants - all the best!

Does anyone have any info on how many people have been offered admission through R1 and R2? And if possible a breakdown of some sort by geography. cheers.

I called the school. For R2 scholarships, recipients have already been informed. So if you have not heard anything, you probably won't get one at this stage. However, the person I talked to (EU coordinator) mentioned that we can still apply for scholarships that will be awarded in June. I believe all information is avail on the admit website. Hope this helps.
