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!

3 days to go!! These last few days have really slowed down.

Where did you hear this from? I bet the first five-fifteen minutes after 17:00 GMT will still be torturous.

I assumed this: - Firstly from LBS website: they stated the following: "Interview decision sent on: 05 November 2010" and not "sent by 05 November". - Secondly from this and other blogs... 3 days to go... just get yourself busy with something else and time will fly!! Good Luck

looking at last year's forum dings start flowing out at 17:00 GMT followed by interview invites much later and in some cases after 20:00 GMT so don't loose hope if you don't see a mail at 17:00 it could be better news!!

Any Africans on here who applied to LBS?

Didn't they move to a new application system this year? Wouldn't that change the dynamics?

Best of luck, guys!!!!! its just a few hours away If you folks get invites, please tell us briefly about your profile.

52 hours and 20 minutes to go for 1700 GMT .

That's a lot of hours. I'll start counting when it's 16:30 PM London time.

But guys, u r counting down for the 5th of Nov 17:00 GMT... someone said that at 17:00 they send the dings... while the positive news are sent later ... till 20:00 GMT so Friday night at home for me!!
