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!

No. I just logged in to double check and they do not ask for the GMAT report at any point. Maybe they asked you for it because they did not receive the official report. I am not sure really.

By the way, did any of you get any confirmation email from the school saying that your application is complete and under review? Does LBS typically send confirmation emails?

I got three e-mails, aside from the e-mail regarding my missing GMAT report. The first was acknowledging receipt of my application, then the second and third to let me know my recommendations had been submitted. I have not received any e-mails updating my status though.

I got the same three confirmation emails - one from each recommender submission and the application complete emails.

As for the GMAT, I also logged in to check this to ensure I didn't miss it. Yes, they don't ask for a copy of the GMAT report on the online form, just manually entered scores.

I apologize if the question seems simplistic, but I'm not entirely familiar with the British educational qualification nomenclature. I took some courses at a community college and transferred between schools, but only received a single undergraduate degree from one school. Should I therefore list only the degree-granting institution under "qualifications," and upload transcripts for all schools under "transcripts," or should I include every school attended under the "qualifications" heading?

Thanks!

Historically via e-mail. Although I hear they have a new application system these days.

They send it by e-mail after 1700 GMT on the deadline.. the later you get e-mail from LBS the better.. dings start flowing out earlier... this is what I can make out from last years' forum..

hey for all those confused on submitting a scanned copy of the gmat score report...it is NOT reqd...

i gt a mail as well asking for a copy, but it had to do with the fact tht they were unable to access my official score report thru gmac (for wtever reason)...so nowhre on the system does it ask u to submit a copy..but in case they do not receive/access ur official score report - then they will get in touch with you for a scanned copy

There cannot be too many, considering they released the application form way too late in the process. I can tell you 10 different reasons why someone would delay their applications to the second round because of the initial release date. Additionally, I went for an info session in New York, and of the 10 or so people that I spoke with, I was the only one who submitted his application for Round 1. Though a small sample, that kind of glimpses the numbers I think. If they actually are committed to filling up that many spots in the first round, that should be to our advantage.

I seriously scrambled to get my app in for R1. I only had one other school submitted for R1 and I wanted to get two in at minimum so I made sure to pull through with LBS. Hopefully it works out although I'm worried I didn't spend enough time on my essays.. oh well.. one week to go!

I have also applied for R1, eagerly waiting the interview decision next week.

LBS is my first and only choice, fingers crossed. Good luck to all other applicants, hopefully I will see you all at LBS next year.
