Also R4 applicant.

Canadian-Lebanese/29/m/770/MSc finance and CFA charter/ we: 6 yrs in investment management in Canada and GCC

Not sure if my profile is appealing enough. I would assume that LBS receives quite a lot of profiles from the financial industry.

Another round 4 applicant ready for some news (fingers crossed for good!)

American, non-Ivy undergraduate 2.9 cum gpa trending to 3.5 the last two years, 680 gmat. 4 years working in biz operations for Lucasfilm (int'l film production), some charity races, a profitable investing hobby and a mountaineering guide...

Round 4 competition is stiff and my background does not reflect your typical b-school applicant. If I hear any news I will post!

Hello,

I have applied for the round 3 for the MIF and get interviewed, anyone has already been accepted today ?

Do you have any clue about the acceptance rate this year ? last week, there was no adcom meeting because of bank holidays and royal wedding !!

Fingers crossed

Yep, I got the same e-mail. I wouldn't read anything into it. Given how close the Admits Weekend is to the notification date it probably makes sense to give people as much notice as possible.

I was contacted by the school via telephone this afternoon to test my English level. It came so suddenly and out of my expectation. And at this night I received an e-mail from LBS saying I am still kept on the waitlist until the 7 July. It really frightened me extremely since I have not heared about my decision yet. Minutes later came an apology e-mail saying it was their fault due to an e-mail system error.

Anyone had the same experience? or some comments?

If you check the past threads you will see that usually people who were called before the notification received an offer... I don't want to say more, but I believe you have great chance to receive a positive e-mail tomorrow :)

I am not aware of anyone being contacted before the official notification date (myself included).

I guess we'll find out tomorrow!

I just found this nice place(thx guys-)
LBS is my dream school and frankly i've never thought of any american b school.

My profile:

26 year old female (South Korean)
A little less than 4 years w/e in accounting firm
(is it true that working in an accounting firm is the most boring w/e for applicants? :shock: )
710 GMAT (70% V, 98% Q)
3.6 GPA

I'm thinking of taking another GMAT to offset lack of internationl experience and relatively poor english
Or should I develop essays more?


Your kind advice will be a lifesaver

I am no expert on LBS admission policies, but I suspect your GMAT is high enough (both in terms of basic admission requirements and in terms of any score improvement having only a minimal impact on your chances of being interviewed).

The most common advice from successful applicants seems to be to spend a significant amount of time on your application essays. Some people use third party agencies to assist them with this aspect, although who knows whether that is a good idea. I just asked a couple of close friends to give me their thoughts, and not to pull any punches. As someone coming from "the professions" I found it quite useful to get comments from friends working on the business side, as the recruitment approach in industry seems to differ significantly from the approach taken in the professions (in particular, "soft skills" seem to be prioritised a great deal more; as I'm sure you know, in law/accountancy/medicine etc. strong technical knowledge/ability is often the main priority).

Also, you only have one page for your CV, so you need to be quite selective about what goes in there. I found it useful to minimise the overlap between the essays and the CV, but to cross refer where necessary (particularly useful if you are struggling to keep your answers within the word count).

Are you a round 4 applicant?
